Shawn Bolger has been wonderful to work with. She handled the closing for my home, my daughter’s home closing, and also helped me with a TODI. Throughout every step of the process, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Shawn took the time to explain things clearly and made what can sometimes be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients and wants to make sure everything is done right. I highly recommend Shawn if you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, attentive, and easy to work with. I’m very grateful for her and her staff for all of their help!

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Shawn Bolger and her incredible team for the exceptional work they did in helping me through the complex process of inheriting a home and setting up a mortgage. From day one, Shawn was friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She consistently followed up with me in a timely manner, answered all of my questions with patience and clarity, and ensured I was comfortable at every step. Shawn and her team managed everything from beginning to end—including coordination with a land trust company, the bank, and my mortgage banker. She prepared an equity buyout letter for me, gave solid advice and practical recommendations, and even helped me save money through a referral to a more affordable title company. What truly stood out was her commitment to making the entire experience seamless. Even when we ran into multiple challenges with the bank, Shawn remained patient, understanding, and laser-focused on getting everything resolved efficiently and correctly. I genuinely could not have navigated this process without her support and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend Shawn Bolger and her team to anyone in need of a real estate attorney. Their professionalism, thoroughness, and dedication to their clients are second to none. Thank you again, Shawn—your work made all the difference!

Response from owner

We hope you continue to enjoy your home for many years to come!<br><br>Warm regards,<br>Shawn Bolger

I cannot recommend Shawn and her paralegal Nicole enough they helped me when I was in the trenches during a property sale. Previous lawyer was attempting to scam that’s when Shawn and Nicole came in as angels to save the deal for me. Not only were they able to make the process seamless with me doing little to nothing but were also able to get me some monetary gain out of this deal. They also handled the fees portion quite smartly. You’ll not be disappointed getting services from these two rockstars.

As first time home buyers, we relied on Kelsey to guide us through some of the steps of buying. We actually into a couple hiccups post close (not to any one on our end's fault) and Kelsey stuck with us and helped get us the resolution we hoped. We appreciate the help and would recommend for future home owners!

I had Shawn Bolger help with my closing, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were organized, on top of everything, and made sure all the paperwork was in order well ahead of time. They explained every document clearly at closing and made sure I didn’t feel rushed or overwhelmed. It was clear they knew exactly what they were doing, and they kept things calm and stress-free. If you’re getting ready to close on a home, I’d definitely recommend working with Shawn and her team. They made the process way easier than I expected

I recently faced a real estate matter and had the privilege of working with Shawn Bolger, the attorney of record, and her exceptional assistant, Nicole. From our first consultation through to closing, their expertise, responsiveness, and meticulous attention to detail stood out. Shawn provided clear guidance every step of the way, while Nicole ensured all clerical tasks  were handled efficiently and thoroughly. What could have been a stressful process was made seamless and straightforward. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Shawn Bolger to anyone seeking knowledgeable and reliable legal support for real estate transactions.

would definitely not recommend. adjectives that come to mind: disorganized, unprofessional, rude, moody, bullying. had a not noteworthy but satisfactory experience 10years ago w/ my condo purchase, however experience decidedly sour this time around, yikes. she/they act as though they're doing you a huge favor and talk down to you. ironic as their emails are a collection of random words (do not read like a professional missive most lawyers would compose) & you have no idea who you're talking to, is it an attorney, paralegal, legal aide, law student? no idea, no one deigns to formally introduce yourself, a different individual wiil randomly contact you q3weeks. in response to a 3rd request for emails clients can read/understand, she/they replied other option is sending fax (umm... prehistoric much?). the mention of using a fax machine as a satisfactory, "better" mode of communication, one that is superior to a well-composed email, was the final proverbial nail. overall it's a shame she/they aren't as tough and forceful and hard-hitting on who or what you need to be as they are with their own heretofore loyal clients- e.g., the bursts of anger towards clients and shouting ("your closing and appraisal could be delayed! at least if the lender and builder are working together, they can just work off the plan rather than needing a finished house to close. I mean, DO YOU WANT YOUR CLOSING TO BE DELAYED?" - why in the world would I not want the home to 1st be completed in its entirety prior to closing?  there is obvi potential for a conflict of interest between the preferred lender & builder- & fact she refused to hear me/understand was very troubling indeed) vs. a one to two sentence letter to a difficult preferred lender, which unsurprisingly helped not at all (how much will they charge for me that i wonder?). they clearly never read through the paperwork i sent months prior either ('when did they closing was? what's the purchase price again, huh?'). they will constant harp on irrelevant issues that only personally irk them, e.g., about my not contacting them "early enough"- to put it simply, who cares? the inability to simply get over it was childish. the (revised since years past) lottery home purchase process i had didn't allow for much flexibility/dawdling & i knew of numerous customers who went through the exact same experience I did, where they were simply never pre-approved after 60+ days (despite great finances, a conventional W2 job, excellent credit scores plus or minus a loan contingency clause returning ones earnest money if a loan is not secured) & it was a long/unserious process with high drama at time of closing w/ 'preferred' lender too. why in the world should ones lawyer ceaselessly pressure & bully you to sign on with such characters? like, get a grip and start listening to the client, it shouldn't all about you and your ego. as everyone knows too, not opting to move forward with a builder's preferred lender (as I did with my condo a decade ago) is not the end of the world; as with anything else, there are upsides and downsides, the latter including the potential for a builder-lender conflict of interest. these presumed lawyers however wouldn't quit nattering on abt going w/ that lender; i wouldn't be surprised if they were actually working in the best interests of said lender, whew! i received zero helpful advice (similar to other clients who reported the same, my questions landed on deaf ears, despite my having to be proactive and calling/emailing). i flatly refuse to beg folks i am paying fees to for help though. & i didn't want this firm's extremely dour and negative vibes to dog me for the rest of my homebuying journey and signed on with another group who is Competent and Caring, what a concept !!
