Great real estate lawyer

I have worked with Alison twice now, most recently for both buying and selling condos in Hoboken. Our buyers were incredibly difficult and Alison helped navigate a difficult closing with calm and ease. She is very responsive both by phone and email and we felt fully supported by her. She knows the Ho...boken real estate market very well and I highly recommend her!

Warning

Warning — Not Recommended! She tried to charge us a higher fee without our knowledge, and when we discovered it, she gave irrelevant excuses. She then refused to complete the work — including handling the full transfer of funds from the property sale — and was, to put it mildly, extremely unpleasant... throughout the process. We are in the process of filing a formal complaint against her with the New Jersey Bar Association.

Alison is an EXCELLENT Real Estate Attorney

I have hired Alison 3 times. I was first referred to Alison 6 years ago when I purchased my condo in Hoboken. I was so impressed with her knowledge, prompt response time and ability to identify potential issues for ME! She really protects you and explains things very clearly not to ever be confused w...ith any law jargon. When I sold my condo to buy the town house I am in now, I didn’t even think twice, I called Alison again! Funny enough, the couple purchasing my condo was ALSO referred to her because of her reputation of an amazing NJ real estate attorney. Most recently, I refinanced my home and leveraged her once again! Oh and I have to say, she knows everyone in the local industry so when I mentioned the mortgage folks I was working with, she knew them personally, further making it sooo smooth on the entire process! I have referred her to ALL my friends and they loved her too! Seriously, she is the BEST!!!!

Terrible customer service - did nothing

Alison was our attorney, she was extremely hard to work with. Left on vacation and said nothing.. she basically put at risk our closing date because of her lack of professionalism.

Smooth closing

Alison was referred to us originally in 2012 when we purchased a condo. We were very happy with her and recently engaged her to handle our sale. Professional, responsive and knowledgeable. We have been traveling for the last month so Alison acted as our POA at the closing. Everything went accordin...g to plan.
