About Nicholas

Nicholas Keramaris began his path to the law with a practical interest in business. He earned a B.S. in Finance and Real Estate from Babson College in 1997 and returned to academics after work to complete a J.D. at Suffolk University Law School in 2002. He then pursued advanced study in taxation, receiving an LL.M. in Taxation from Boston University School of Law in 2006.

His early legal work placed him inside a boutique practice that handled complex financial and estate matters. In 2006 he joined Seegel, Lipshutz & Wilchins as an associate. The following year he left to open his own firm. In 2007 he co-founded Keramaris & Keramaris and has been a principal there since. Those first professional years shaped how he manages client work today: practical, detail-oriented, and organized.

Keramaris is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He holds current memberships in the Boston Estate Planning Council, the Boston Bar Association, and the Massachusetts Bar Association. Those affiliations place him in regular contact with other lawyers, financial advisers, and trustees, and they provide a steady stream of continuing education and peer dialogue.

His academic background in taxation and real estate underpins much of the work he takes on. The LL.M. in Taxation gives him additional grounding on federal tax matters that commonly intersect with estate planning and property issues. His undergraduate degree in finance and real estate gives him familiarity with property valuation, financing structures, and the business considerations clients often raise.

At Keramaris & Keramaris he handles a range of matters that reflect that mix: estate planning, tax questions, and transactions involving real property. He works with individuals and families on wills, trusts, and probate matters. He also advises on tax consequences tied to estate transfers and on the legal details of real estate ownership. He tends to emphasize clear documentation and careful planning to reduce surprises for clients and their heirs.

Colleagues describe him as methodical in the way he reviews documents and realistic in the advice he gives. He participates in local professional groups rather than national organizations, which keeps his practice tied to the Boston legal community. He maintains an office in the area and continues to accept new matters that align with his practice areas. He currently practices estate planning, tax, and real estate law.
