Definitely not a good lawyer if you are all for the landlord foh

Response from owner

I represent both landlords and tenants. I put 100% effort into representing my client. If you were a tenant and I represented your landlord, I was indeed "all for the landlord". I am sorry for your unhappiness and I wish you better luck in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Alford Legal Group, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. From the very beginning, Alford took the time to thoroughly review my case, demonstrating an impressive level of dedication and expertise. He was incredibly communicative, always keeping me informed and ensuring that I understood each step of the process until to the end of my case. I definitely recommend him.

Response from owner

Kevin, I look forward to continuing to work together.

Rude! I have been calling attorneys to try and assist me with my housing case for months. I spoke to this attorney. This attorney wanted me to put $5,600 down as a retainer. He told me his rate is 300 an hour. He said he has an initial 15/hour minimum. Well let’s do simple math: 300/hr for 15/hrs is $4,500 not $5,600. So let’s start there! If he wanted 5,600 then he should have quoted me for 18/hrs. Talk about wolfs in sheep’s clothing! As the former chair of fair housing I am appalled at this attorneys actions not because he would not work with me but because he attempted to take advantage of someone in need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am sorry that you felt the need to post this. Ordinarily, I would not be inclined to respond to this type of post, however in this instance I could not ignore these misrepresentations". First: There was no misrepresentation of the facts. You quoted me $300/hr. not $375/hr. The case had not "gone to trial" as I attempted to explain to you. The case was in "Tier 1" of the housing court procedures and the initial decision to allow the eviction was a result of running late. After filing a motion to remove default and the case was remanded back to tier 1 where a judge ruled against me again, allowing the eviction to go forward. The judges ruling was biased and required help from the appellant court to stop the eviction where the appellant court judge "Grant" found the judges ruling to be biased and advised the defendant (Me) would have success if I went through appeals. Second: As the former chair of fair housing I do have a lot of contacts and as a result of all of these eviction cases many of my contacts caseloads were full. Hence why I started going outside of my network to seek help. You can look me up! Let me be very clear I am more then capable of handling these types of cases myself. My outreach had nothing to do with my level of expertise in this field and everything to do with being exhausted. Like I said you were rude and you attempted to overcharge me and if you have a problem with what I said change your behavior for a better outcome.

Response from owner

I am sorry that you felt the need to post this. Ordinarily, I would not be inclined to respond to this type of post, however in this instance I could not ignore these misrepresentations.<br>I was more than generous with my time on the phone to you today, spending 10-15 discussing the long and complicated history of your legal matter. <br>You called my office seeking representation with regard to a matter which has already been to the Trial Court and the Appellate Division. Properly handling matters such as this requires dozens of hours of research, briefing, and in many cases oral arguments and multiple court appearances. Simply put, this is not the type of case where I, or any other experienced attorney, would accept a 1, or 5, or even a 10-hour retainer.<br>I clearly told you that my hourly billing rate was $375.00. In fact, when you asked "$300.00?", I reiterated that my hourly rate was $375.00. I told you that I would require a retainer of $5,625.00 for this particular type of matter (not $5,600.00 as you stated) which represents 15 hours of my time at $375.00. Your numbers are simply incorrect.<br>When you asked me if I could refer you to any other attorneys who would cost you less, I told you that any attorneys I could recommend would also require a substantial retainer. At this point you abruptly hung up the phone. <br>I think it is noteworthy that you began your incorrect summary of our conversation by writing: "I have been calling attorneys to try and assist me with my housing case for months". If you are “the former chair of fair housing”, as you state, I am surprised that you do not have numerous contacts in your network who could handle this matter if it has merit. More importantly, if you have been calling attorneys for months, and have been unable to find somebody to handle this case, perhaps the problem is not with the attorneys.

We only did a consult with him but he very much had our best interests in mind. We were working with a difficult/confusing housing/co-tenant/landlord situation and he was really straightforward about answers, how he could help, what our options were, and their costs. It was clear he only wanted to do something we were comfortable with, and what the best path forward for everyone would be.

Response from owner

I always provide a free initial consultation and I am glad that you were satisfied.

Stuart was so professional and knowledgeable in handling my family's immigration matters. He was spot on with his advice and gave us a price for his work and it never changed. He is an honest and sincere attorney who cares and comforts. Without his expertise and advice the outcome could have been devastating. We've known Stuart for 15 years. Get Stuart on your side. You'll be glad you did.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for the opportunity to work with your family for so many years.

Stuart Alford knows his stuff. Great lawyer. I am honored and privileged to have him on my side. He was able to help me obtain a large settlement for a motorcycle accident I was involved in. He explained things every step of the way and in the end was able to help get a settlement that I was very happy with. I would not want to be on the other side of this tenacious and knowledgeable man. He also is compassionate and principled.

Response from owner

Thank you for your kind words Gordon. I am happy that I was able to be of service to you after your accident.

Stuart gave extremely helpful legal advice on a very stressful situation. He listened carefully to my case and asked relevant questions. He is very trustworthy and made me look at the full picture of the case with many options and scenarios to contemplate. More importantly, he is very prompt and returns calls without delay. I would highly recommend Stuart for your legal needs.

Response from owner

Thank you Radhika! It was a pleasure to speak with you. I am glad that I could help.

The time had come for my husband and I to make our will. Stuart walked us through the process and gave us homework ! Our second meeting he helped us finalize our decisions and our wills were witnessed and notarized. What we had thought would be a difficult process Stuart really made simple and understandable.

Response from owner

Thank you Lisa. I always enjoy seeing you and your husband and providing any advice and services which you need.

I had a very complex and difficult tenant situation with many legal issues, including COVID, disability. Non payment, among others. Attorney Alford did a great job with a complex situation and thankfully help resolve the matter without a expensive full blown court battle. Very grateful. I hope to never need his services again, lol, but if I do he is an expert in Massachusetts housing law, reasonably priced, and has a canny ability to find the path of least resistance.

Response from owner

Thank you! I also hope that you have no future issues which require legal assistance, but if you do, I am here!

Stuart and his late father Harvey have been available to our family for over 30 years. They have represented us in numerous real estate closings, both personal and commercial properties. Stuart was instrumental in the eviction of tenants when the law required. Stuart is always attentive to our needs and goals resulting in a long and lasting relationship. I would highly recommend Alford Legal Group, LLC for your personal and business.

Response from owner

John, working with you and your family is one of the great pleasures of my career. Harvey felt the same way. Thank you for your kind remarks.
