I highly recommend Chris Saccardi's services in landlord-tenant legal matters.
We had tenants in our rental property in MA who made endless demands for repairs, got the housing inspector to issue a citation, and refused to pay the remaining rent on the lease (8 months). We were out-of-state landlords which made things more difficult. After going through two other attorneys, we hired Chris to handle our case. We decided to evict these tenants.
At every step of the legal proceedings, Chris:
- patiently and clearly explained the options in front of us, with pros and cons
- described what he thought the other side could do in response to our actions, and things usually turned out the way he anticipated
- dealt with the other side's attorney skillfully and gracefully
- accommodated our schedules, responded promptly to our queries and gave us sound and wise legal advice
- had an eye out for costs. We felt he always had our best interests at heart
- was never patronizing or pushy
Most importantly, Chris helped get the tenants out of our property before the end of the lease without the need for a trial.

Terrible attorney I've called 3 times in the past 3 months each time. This person has acted like they don't want to take the case before I can. Even? Get. What's going on out of my mouth and also each time they acted like? They knew the law and as they should because Ken is a lawyer. But he really doesn't in fact hes terrible don't go to him at all. Don't bother him? He has no need for you if you have any confidence at all that you're gonna win your case

Never heard back after long phone conversation and request for evidence/documentation -
Echoing with the other person said I had a long conversation with Chris in late december about a security deposit case that seemed fairly standard and he confirmed it. He said it should be fine, please forward him documentation, I did, I have never heard back. I have called an emailed, and nothing.
I would respect for some reason or another not being able to take up my case, although we already went over conflicts of interest and other potential issues but It would be good to let me know, especially since we had a long phone conversation going over details, and I took the time to submit documentation upon his request.
Maybe there's something personal going on. Though no word back after about 6 weeks of initial conversation/phone calls/mails where we were in touch. No suggesting anyone else if he felt unable to handle my case, or explanation.

Unfortunately I have left two messages and an email early this week and have not received any response. I find that extremely unprofessional. I tried leaving a review on Avvo, but they refused to post it siting I never hired him so I can’t leave a review which is ridiculous. Apparently Avvo only publishes five star reviews.

I have been working for Christ for quite a while in several cases and inquiries about landlord-tenant issues. First of all, I got to say he is 100% expert in his field. He's not just proficient with all the details and nuances of general legal codes but also very familiar and up-to-date with temporary and local decrees that are specific to each town. He is scrupulous but will catch opportunities to strike and he is very effective. The most impressive part about him is his responsiveness. It happens frequently that I responds to his email after days but he will respond my emails within an hour, and he's consistently doing that. I have a tenant in Malden that is very aggressive, spiteful and consistently harass me to make me angry and unable to sleep at night, while not paying rent and with me consistently calling for all sorts of services that are not actually needed, yet she's protected by moratorium. She even throw dog feces at her neighbor tenant and threatens to get her neighbor deported. My previous lawyer takes 13 months to communicate patiently with her and tell me to communicate politely and patiently with her no matter how she provoke. While this is safe measure I almost got mental decease out of such torture. Yet no active measures have been taken. We told her to apply for RAFT yet she always tries to miss one or two documents in every application and enjoys getting me tortured and seeing me unable to get any compensation. When I transfer the case to Christ. After reading over all the facts, documents, hundreds of text message exchange, he confirmed with me the plan of action and returned to me with a strong-worded 7-day notice to quit within the same day. Actually after confirming with me, he only takes an hour to send me the notice and immediately ordered constable service to deliver it to the tenant. The tenant receives it the next day and the Metro Housing contacted me the immediately to tell me I can get the $30k+ back rent if I did not pursue eviction. It's something I never expect to get back. I really appreciate Christ's professionalism and efficiency. He is also extremely responsive and cost-efficient. He never overcharge you for simple tasks. If you were told during the moratorium that there's a very pure 5-star landlord-tenant lawyer with 10/10 avvo rating who can responds to you within the same day, or at most within two days, that is also very cost-efficient with your bottom line, who speaks in good manner and pleasant to work with, it's almost like someone's promoting something that only exists in dream. But here he is, the true professional you deserve, whether you're the landlord or the tenant.

I found Chris Saccardi and Ed Rice's information online when I Googled best Tenant Attorney in Boston, and their information came up first. These guys truly are the best, so Google was extremely accurate! Chris and Ed worked extremely hard on a complex detailed case for me for 3 years that resulted with a positive resolution. The subject of the case was traumatic, and I knew I needed a good support system when I realized the situation I was in wasn't getting any better and was actually getting worse. They are extremely patient and professional and knew exactly how to handle dealing with me as a client when my emotions were running high. They both did an unbelievable job and worked extremely hard, I couldn't have asked for any better. Their dedication, determination, professionalism, knowledge and passion for law is top notch. They fight for what's right and won't back down from what they believe in. They fought and defended me until the end, and for that I will forever be grateful.

I found Chris's contact information online after searching for landlord-tenant attornies in the Boston area. My landlord was unjustly withholding our security deposit and I reached out to Chris for help. He has very thorough in his review of our documents and was very clear about what the process would look like if we secured his services.
Chris' clear communication and professionalism was much needed to resolve the security deposit issue. I really appreciated how much time he spent understanding the history and intricacies of our situation. After several months of negotiation with our former landlord, he was able to reach a settlement without going to court.
We're very glad we decided to secure his services.
