CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“I had a big dispute with my condo’s board of trustees and they claimed penalties and fees in the thousands of dollars. They hired a large, prestigious Boston law firm, experts in condo law, to sue me in Cambridge District Court. In searching for a lawyer I came across Steve and he granted me a free consultation. Unbeknownst to me, he had already done some research and outlined a game plan at our meeting. I was very impressed with that effort, as he showed some agressiveness and devoted some time without being retained. After months of litigation, the condo was seeking over $24,000 and it placed a lien on my unit. Eventually, they filed a Motion for Summary Judgment against me. Steve filed an excellent opposition brief that he supported with a persuasive oral argument before Judge Hogan. We won the Motion and they agreed to dismiss the entire complaint. Steve WINS and I’d hire him for ANY legal matter.

“I own Spa Newbury on Newbury Street, Boston. Initially, Steve negotiated our leases when our company rented high-end real estate. When the landlord sold that property, Steve negotiated our departure (which resulted in about $20k of rental credits). He also negotiated the complex seven-figure purchase of our current property. Since then, Steve has handled all our legal matters. He’s an incredibly well rounded attorney. If he doesn’t have an answer right away, he will get one for you. He always makes himself available no matter how trite the matter. You could not ask for better representation than Steven Grant.”
–Selena Belisle, Owner, Spa Newbury
“Steven was the attorney for me when I purchased my home. Steven was very professional and very very responsive. I liked his work on my case and recommend him without any reservations towards your needs. Steven has been in touch even after the closing has been completed. I appreciate him taking time from his busy schedule to find out about our welfare.”
–Rajesh M., Stoneham, MA
My former employer tried to prevent me from working for a new computer software company. They sued me in Suffolk Superior Court to enforce a non-compete agreement. A colleague referred me to Steven, who I hired to defend the lawsuit and oppose the preliminary injunction. Steven argued, among other things, that the agreement was invalid and that they couldn’t restrict my livelihood. He was great in front of the judge and very prepared. Well, their injunction was denied and then we had the entire lawsuit dismissed.
–A.N., Rhode Island
My apartment in Allston had 95+º uncontrollable heat in the winter, wiring that destroyed my electronics, no hot water for 2 weeks, broken pipes and of course my rodent roommates. Dealing with an uncooperative large property management co. and finding no end in site, Steven gave me hope. I was extremely surprised how quick the defendant wanted to settle once they realized I had a high caliber attorney. The settlement left me extremely satisfied. If you have been wronged–keep records, take pictures and contact Steven Grant. You will be satisfied.

Attorney Grant represented my wife and I in our first home purchase. As with all first time home buyers it can be an intimidating process with a lot of parties all with different motivations. You need an attorney that is going to look after you during the entire process in particular at closing - when you are at your most vulnerable moment - you are so close to owning your home and are most likely just going to breeze through the paperwork. Attorney Grant makes sure that the paperwork is fair and accurate and in your best interest to sign. He did work on some language with the sellers regarding offers and acceptances and helped us navigate the confusing world of title insurance. Often times the boiler plate language isn’t in your best interest - Attorney Grant wasn’t afraid to step in and speak up for your rights. I would highly recommend him for any type of legal issue and particularly real estate transactions.
–Craig Billings, Peabody, MA
“I hired Attorney Grant for a couple small things. I’m sure he had other “bigger” cases, but he didn’t treat mine like they were small and I really appreciated that. On one case, I was cited for making an illegal U-Turn in Lexington. A clerk denied my appeal in Concord District Court, so then I hired Steve to appeal that decision before a judge. He did a great job arguing my case and questioning the police officer who cited me. We won the appeal, which protected my driving record and meant the fine was waived and my insurance didn’t increase. On the other case, we brought a small claims complaint against my former landlord. There was a brief trial before a clerk-magistrate, and we won.”
Jerry W., Lexington, MA
Steven became our attorney over 3 years ago when we found ourselves involved with some serious problems with a property we were buying. We needed an attorney who was assertive, results-oriented and who understood the nuances of real estate law. We got that and more with Steven.
After several attorneys turned us down stating we had no case, I contacted Steven who asked me to send him our documentation for him to review. It was an unusually unfair P&S drafted by the seller. I did not anticipate much in terms of findings or good news for that matter, due to the fact that some of the “best,” seasoned and most expensive lawyers in Boston had already reviewed the same materials. To my surprise, he uncovered a weak spot in the P&S that the other attorneys had missed. More importantly, he told us the strategy he would use for resolving our problem, and the Mass. laws that supported it. We retained him immediately and we were ultimately successful. Steven has been retained by us since that day and he’s resolved many issues for us since then.
If you need an attorney who you can trust, afford and have faith in, I cannot emphasize enough that Steven A. Grant is the right attorney for you.
–Clay E., Quincy, MA
Steve first assisted us with the sale of our condo in Stoneham. It was the first time I sold a property without a real estate agent and I had many questions and concerns. He did a great job explaining the entire process and walked me through each step. He was always accessible and patient. We also hired Steve once more for the purchase of our latest home.
–Nathan and Katie M., Wakefield, MA
Steve has advised me on a number of different occasions. He has helped me review some documents for my small business and I have also hired him for three closings. I recommend having an attorney present and available whenever possible, it keeps the other side honest and assures that you don’t miss something that can cost you in the end. I plan on working with Steve again in the near future and recommend you do, as well. He is trustworthy, professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
