Tax Appeal

I used Atty. Matt Vaccarelli for complicated tax appeals. He was excellent, providing counsel and guidance every step of the way. He ensured that my interests were protected. Highly recommended!

Real Estate Closing

Atty. Vaccarelli kept me informed and updated from the moment he became my attorney right through the closing. He even contacted me a month after my purchase to see how things were with the house and if I needed anything or had any questions. I would highly recommend him for any closing.

Attorney Vaccarelli Review

Matt is an excellent attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable, he explained things so you I could understand them. He answered all my questions and gave me plent of time and attention, I always felt at ease and well informed when we spoke. I couldn't have been happier with his service and I highly... recommend him.

Matthew Vaccarelli is the preferred Conneticut Real Estate Attorney!

My home closing took a lot longer than expected. I had everything from buyer issues to bank errors. Attorney Vaccarelli helped me through all of it. He stayed on top of everyone (the banks, the brokers, the other attorney & even myself) Matthew Vaccarelli is knowledgeable and trustworthy. He kept... me well informed and helped me get through the MANY closing postponements. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants the job done without worrying about the details. He is defiantly the model of exceptional!
