“Adam Dash & Associates has represented our business for many years on a broad range of matters. Their professionalism and common sense approach to providing high-quality legal services and advice make them an invaluable business partner.” — R.Z.

“I have had Adam Dash & Associates work with me on a wide variety of matters over the years, from real estate to business contracts to zoning to civil litigation. Their work has been great, and I like having an attorney I can actually talk to.” — K.O.

“I first worked with Adam Dash in 2004, when he represented a real estate developer who listed 40-plus condos with me and my listing partner.

“In all those transactions, in the midst of a hectic real estate market, Adam never missed a deadline or dropped a ball. I could depend on his professionalism, efficiency and accuracy. Since then, I have worked with him on many more real estate transactions, with consistently good results. He is thorough, dependable and knowledgeable. I especially value his counsel on zoning issues in Somerville, an area in which he has great expertise. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the city that is very valuable to me and to many of my clients.

“I have also enjoyed working with his very competent associate, Melissa Hagemeister.” — T.T.

“I am a condominium trustee, and our condo hired Adam Dash & Associates to represent us in a complicated issue that involved a developer and the planning and zoning boards of the city. We found their responsiveness to be refreshing and their advice very helpful.

“They even came to our condo meetings and worked to get us a successful resolution. I would recommend Adam Dash & Associates to other condos needing legal representation.” — J.M.
