Known for their reliable availability, attention to detail and speedy, effective communication, the D&F Boston team has garnered praise from clients for what they call “the D&F Difference.” Each attorney puts their own special touch on “the D&F Difference” to give their clients a five-star closing experience.
For high-net-worth individuals and professional athletes, Partner EJ Schneider is the go-to for representation, offering a white-glove approach that extends beyond providing only real estate counsel. The resident of Boston’s seaport district primarily represents clients in Boston, Newton and Wellesley.
Partner Paige Shlayen offers particular expertise in navigating the challenges unique to ground-up new construction and renovations. A new mom, Shlayen lives in Newton, providing legal representation there as well as Wellesley and Boston.
Boston market expert Zoë Gillies knows each neighborhood better than the next. Clients frequently compliment her patience, optimistic spirit and quick problem-solving. When not at the closing table, she enjoys South Boston living or escaping to Boothbay Harbor in Maine.
With a calm approach that helps put her clients at ease no matter what challenge might arise, Jessica Leoni is a great listener and skilled problem solver. Her practice covers Cambridge, Somerville and Watertown, where she currently resides.
North End resident Maeve Harrigan draws on years of experience working in the industry throughout law school and as a licensed attorney. Known for her positivity, she closes each deal with a smile. When not in the office, she enjoys exploring the fine-dining scene of her North End neighborhood.
Tim Walsh calls Duxbury home and focuses his practice primarily on the South Shore out of D&F’s Hingham office. The new dad gets to know each of his clients on a personal level and prides himself on thorough communication with all parties in each transaction.
