Solid Real Estate Knowledge, Mixed Service

Edward Kelleher provided sound advice on a property dispute we were facing, and his understanding of Maine real estate law was clearly evident. The case was complex, involving boundary line issues and easement negotiations, and his expertise in these areas was particularly valuable. However, we found the communication during the process somewhat inconsistent. While he was responsive during key moments, there were periods where follow-ups took longer than expected, which caused mild frustration. The case was resolved favorably, but managing expectations on his availability might be something to clarify upfront. Overall, his legal acumen is strong, especially given his recognition by Best Lawyers, but the service experience could be more streamlined for a higher rating.

Trusted Real Estate Counsel

Edward Kelleher was an invaluable resource during my commercial property transaction. His deep knowledge of real estate law and recognition as a top attorney by Best Lawyers gave me confidence in his advice. He navigated complex zoning regulations with precision and ensured all contracts were airtight. While his attention to detail was excellent, I wish his response times could have been slightly more prompt during the busiest phases of the deal. That said, his strategic approach saved me thousands in potential legal complications. His experience handling high-value transactions was evident in every step of the process. I’d recommend Edward without hesitation for anyone needing expert real estate counsel in Portland.

Excellent Real Estate Guidance

Edward J. Kelleher was incredibly knowledgeable when helping me navigate a complex commercial property transaction. His deep understanding of real estate law in Portland, Maine, was evident from our first meeting. The process was smooth, and his attention to detail ensured we avoided potential pitfalls. While his expertise is undeniable—especially recognized by Best Lawyers—responses to emails could sometimes be delayed. Additionally, the fees were on the higher side, though justified by his skill. I’d recommend him without hesitation for real estate matters, particularly for someone who values precision and experience. The outcome was exactly what we needed, making the minor drawbacks negligible in the grand scheme. A true professional.

Promising Start in Real Estate Law

Edward J. Kelleher proved to be a competent attorney in his first year of practice at Drummond Woodsum. Navigating the complexities of real estate law, he exhibited a deep understanding of the legal landscape in Portland, Maine. I was particularly impressed by his proficiency in drafting and reviewing contracts, which were clear and concise. However, there were instances where communication could have been more effective, with lengthier explanations and more regular updates on the progress of my case. The wait times were average, which I understand is inherent in legal proceedings. Although Edward did not exceed my expectations, his recognized expertise in real estate law gave me confidence in his abilities. If you're in need of legal assistance in the realm of real estate, Edward J. Kelleher can be a reliable choice.
