Attorney Ketaineck was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was very polite and helpful as well as priced just right. I appreciate how he took the time out of his day to make sure that I was satisfied and he did a satisfactory job.

Stephen Ketaineck was very kind and thoughtful. I called towards the end of the work day and he still picked up the phone. The area of law I asked him he told me he likely was outside of his area of his particular practice. I insisted he still share how he might go about the situation because we had not at the time found anyone who was familiar with the particular situation. He listened warmly and empathetically and it was a helpful conversation. We felt very cared for—which was a stark contrast to many lawyers who just tried to hang up as quickly as possible. Thank you so much Stephen!

Just closed on my first home and let me start by saying that Stephen made the whole process for so seamlessly for me . He was very transparent and descriptive with all the closing fees. Felt like I was working with someone I had known for years. Not only does he take the time and patience to breakdown and explain everything as simple as possible, but he makes sure you understand every document you are signing. I will be using him for my next home purchase. Thank you Stephen!

I had an issue with my tenant and I am more than happy that I hired Mr. Ketaineck to handle the issue. Although I don’t live in CT, the communication with him was beyond expected. He even took time in the middle of his vacation to give me an update on the eviction process that we enforced up on the tenant. Mr. Ketaineck is a thoughtful, experienced, kind and respectful attorney. When the tenants attorney came back with a settlement, Mr. Ketaineck walked me through pros and cons and were able to put the issue to rest in a peaceful way. I highly recommend Steven Ketaineck, for any real estate related issues.

Steve handled the closing of the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home this past month. I needed both closings done the same day and he made sure it happened. Before working with Steve, the entire process felt overwhelming but he explained everything thoroughly, kept me updated frequently, and really alleviated much of my stress. If I could give more stars I would.

My wife and I sold our home in West Haven, and Attorney Ketaineck was recommended to us by our RE Broker – Richard Chamerlain.

We used Attorney Ketaineck to help with our mom’s estate as well as the sale of our family home. I cannot speak more highly of him & his services. Personable. Professional. Responsive. If he didn’t know the answer immediately (which was rare), he investigated the question and got right back to us. All paperwork was fully explained and the process couldn’t have been easier. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to utilize his services again in the future.

Lee O.

Stephen is by far the best real estate lawyer I have ever come across. I recently bought a house that took me more than 7 months to close. Just days before the scheduled initial closing, the bank took the property from the owner which meant the house was foreclose and was offered as a short sale. Stephen, stood by me knowing that I wanted the property. he encourage me, reached out to the other party’s attorney to ensure the short sale process was sped up. At the end I got the key to the property with many thanks to the selfless help of Stephen. He is very indispensable and I was able to reach him at work, though his cell phone even at his home phone. This is my second dealing with Stephen, he help closed my first home which I sold in 2018 and now to my new home. I will highly recommend with Stephen.
