Matt worked with me for the purchase of my home and sale of my condo. Matt was quick to respond and always looked out for my best interest as we went through probate. Everyone in the office was helpful and pleasant. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Matt again.

We hired Matt Killeen for our home purchase. He charges the highest fee of all attorneys we contacted, and it was a colossal mistake to hire him. If we asked him detailed questions to, heaven forbid, actually understand our P&S contract, he fell apart and argued with us. Many of his answers benefitted the seller and not us, and didn't even try to work with the sellers to resolve our concerns. He essentially worked for the seller and failed to understand that it was our home purchase, not his, and that we had hired him. Instead of patiently answering questions, he pointed to "standard ways of doing things" that were not mentioned in the contract. He cites his "20 years of experience" to claim that he is right about everything and the client is dumb for asking a question he has never heard of. He didn't even seem to know that in some states, keys are handed to the buyer at closing and the deed might be recorded days later. Or that some buyers might have no experience in MA, and just maybe, he must explain some things to them. News flash, Matt - there other experiences and sets of knowledge other than your own. To top if off, he took vacation during the week of closing and never notified us. He just handed our case to an associate, and we found out from his auto reply. This, even though he said he would PERSONALLY deliver our deed to be recorded on the closing day. When I pointed this out to him, neither he nor his associate apologized or offered an explanation. Just go with someone else. No one deserves to pay top dollar to hire a total jerk.

Matthew Killeen handled a real estate refinance closing for me in 2012. After discovering a mortgage discharge registered incorrectly with the Registry of Deeds upon selling my home in 2020, I followed up with Mr. Killeen to find out what was done during the refinance as the improper discharge should have been discovered and fixed. He was going to get back to me with information and did not despite follow up. I had to incur additional cost to resolve. Very disappointed to have emails go unanswered.
