Serge

It was our first property purchase in the US. Mike did a great job navigating us through the real estate complexities and risks; he also did an excellent job at closing making sure everything is in order and providing us with all necessary and supplementary documentation we may need in the future. ... Charges were reasonable and accurate. Would definitely work with Mike in my next transaction.

Fantastic experience

Michael (and the others in his office with whom I worked) was professional, kind, and most importantly, did a fantastic job. He assisted me with all of the legal aspects of selling my home. Michael kept me updated with critical information and always responded promptly to my inquiries. I plan to h...ire Michael again next time I have a need for his services.

Competent and Personable

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Attorney Robbins on several occasions over the years. He has handled multiple closings on purchases and sales of real estate as well as providing me with council on land use, zoning and disputes. I’ve found him to have deep knowledge of real estate, land use, z...oning, etc. but also to be fun to work with. In my opinion, he possesses a rare combination of traits that makes him both effective and enjoyable.

Excellent attorney

Why people buy/sell real estate and either use the bank attorney or random attorney or don't use an attorney at all makes no sense to me. Hire your own attorney. They work for you and will protect your interests. It is such short money. That being said, get a good one. We are curre...ntly using Mike to assist us as we settle the real estate in an estate. He has been very helpful answering our questions as we go through this process. About three years ago Mike was the attorney on the sale of our old house and the purchase of the new house. He had been referred to us and it was a great referral. Very helpful and accessible. Every time we had a question or issue he got back to us with an answer. At the closing of our house, the other party had made a mistake on the closing documents which Mike caught. Rather than hold up the transaction, Mike quickly worked out a solution. Mike makes things easy to understand and is very practical.
