Clifford Law Boston is the best representation you can get for any Landlord-Tenant dispute. Right from my very first contact with Attorney Ami, she was very professional and sympathetic to my case.

Attorney Clifford helped us make the best decisions possible throughout a complicated and uncomfortable conflict with our landlord. She has exceptional knowledge of tenant law and helped us understand our protections under Somerville's Condominium Conversion Ordinance. We highly recommend Clifford Law Boston for tenant representation.

Ami Clifford, Esq. is a true gem of a human. She has assisted me through two very stressful and terrible housing issues over the past couple of years. Ami delivered immensely satisfying results in both of those cases and was incredibly easy to work with. She's a true powerhouse of an attorney, a caring individual, and I couldn't recommend her and her law office enough.

Tenant
Boston (Dorchester), MA
After my first phone call to Clifford Law, I knew I was in good hands. When I spoke with Ami, she did something every other law office didn’t - she listened, and she cared. My attorney was Lin, who is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, detail oriented, friendly, and effective. I could not be happier with the outcome. This was the first time I’ve ever needed to seek legal counsel, and Clifford Law made it a breeze.

Ami and Maya went beyond what I needed for services regarding a rental property tenancy issue. After hiring Ami, I felt like I could breath and knew that she would handle any and all curve balls that occurred. I felt supported the entire time and felt that Ami took my best interest seriously. Thank you Ami and Maya!

This was our first time obtaining legal representation to address an unfair situation. We knew the landlord was taking advantage of us, but we didn’t know what we were entitled to under the law. Attorney Lin Wang was great to work with – she was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive and guided us through each step of the process. We got the outcome we wanted, thanks to Attorney Wang. We give Clifford Law Boston the highest recommendation.

Amy Clifford and Lin Wang were great to work with. They responded promptly when I reached out, they were succinct in walking me through what laws my previous landlord violated, and they were diligent in fighting for the compensation that they believed I deserved. Highly recommend!
