Matthew Scott Feinbloom

On 05/08/26, We hired Mr Feinbloom to represent me in connection with the purchase of my condominium. On 05/18/26, We emailed Mr Feinbloom to check on the status of the condo closing process, and to provide me with a brief update regarding the next steps. His reply was that he is waiting for a phone... call from the seller's attorney to review everything with him. On 05/20/26, we received the contract from the sellers management company requesting us to sign it. We contacted Mr Feinbloom for guidance and whether he wants a copy to review; he instructed us to sign it. On 05/22/26, I emailed Mr Feinbloom to confirm whether he had received a copy of the signed contract or not. I've got an automatic response stating he was out of the office and would return on the 26th. On 05/27/26, I emailed him again to see if he received a copy of the contract or not, and if I can begin making arrangements with my current landlord, since I was paying cash, and the anticipated closing date was June 24, 2026. On 06/15/26, Mr Feinbloom notified me that he received the signed contract, and he was going to move forward with ordering title search. On 06/22/26, Because I had not received an update, I emailed him asking what was going on with the closing process. He replied that he would advise. Never happened. Privacy violation: On 06/24/26 He emailed me a wrong signed contract. I emailed him back to let him know that he sent me someone else's contract containing all of that person's personal information. What a negligent, and careless professional sending private details of their client to others. He resented mine, but not the reviewed one with the attorney’s riders. I emailed him back, asking him to send the attorney’s riders. Unfortunatly there was none. I don't know if I hired a lawyer or a courier. Follow-up/Subsequent Communication: At this point, I became concerned about the continued delay and the lack of a definite closing date. I did not want to reach the point of having to ask him to stop the process, particularly because I understood that the contract had already been signed and was legally binding. Overall Concern: Throughout the process, I felt that communication was unclear, and that I was not receiving sufficient updates regarding the status of my purchase, and next steps to move forward with the closing. I repeatedly contacted him for guidance and updates, but often did not receive clear information regarding what was happening or what I needed to do next.only short answers like “ will do” but never happened. Admission of Professional Failure: On 07/07/26, I emailed him thanking him for his admission of professional failure, and for confirming that he allowed the contract to become fully binding as is without executing any riders or even securing my consent to waive negotiations. Telephone call from Mr Feinbloom: He called me to tell me that the seller's attorney told him he would not entertain any changes. When I asked him why he did not let me know or get my consent, he had no answers. He even confessed that he did not read the contract or the recorded master deed. After the phone call , I ordered a home inspection, which was scheduled for 07/09. There were a few things that needed to be fixed. The sales manager told us they will be fixed in a day or two. The inspection report came on 07/14, I forwarded it to Mr Feinbloom, and waited another five days to email him requesting an update on the repairs. He emailed me back” All repairs are complete”. Our request for a final walkthrough was denied. Nothing we can do. On 07/21/26, Mr Feinbloon, wrote to me that the seller's attorney will be out, and to put on for later in the first week of August, we couldn’t since we already notified our landlord that we are moving out at the end of July. We had no choice, but to close on Friday July 24. The closing Day: So everything was set for 07/24/26 at 10:00 am. Mr Feinbloom never said anything about the closing location, we h

I haven't encountered a lawyer as compassionate as Matthew towards his clients. Matthew remained consistently accessible and maintained a remarkably positive attitude throughout. His exceptional communication skills distinguish him from other lawyers I've worked with previously. Matthew's unique qual...ities make him stand out, and I'll gladly recommend his services to my friends and family.

[UPDATE ON AUG 1, 2022] I'm editing this after a call with Matthew after the review published, to clarify parts that were either out of his control or that could be better explained or attributed. Updated comments will be in [ ]. It might be hard to read because of the additions, so I apologize in a...dvance. I hired Matthew Feinbloom to handle my home purchase and would not recommend [UPDATE: I would only recommend Matt if he gets more assistance with his workload, becomes more transparent in his communication about expectations and if you, the potential client, are able to stay on top of the process and proactively check in or ask questions throughout.] I went with Matt because my realtor recommended him. Throughout the months-long process, I maybe heard from Matt three to five times. [UPDATE: By which I meant of his own initiation to inform me of things like executed contracts being ready for signing.] He was responsive enough via email, but never seemed to actually be in my corner. [UPDATE: Matt is insistent that he has his clients best interests at heart, and I believe that he feels this way. From my perspective I just felt like I wanted someone more communicative and who would guide me every step of the way.] On the DAY OF closing, he informed me AT SIGNING that the tax abatement I had been asking about for months had been denied. I asked when he found out about the denial, and he said 2 weeks ago. But he waited a whole two weeks to let me know? [UPDATE: Matt has admitted that this is something he should have done sooner but stated that in his opinion this wouldn't have made a difference in whether I would have received approval for an abatement.] I was also charged TWICE for my Homeowners Insurance by the title company that Matt selected. He asked them in writing to issue a check as a refund, but they did not, and he never followed up until I checked in more than a month later. Not to mention the many issues my lender had with the title company. [UPDATE: Matt said that he didn't know and that had he known they didn't send me the refund he would have done something. I didn't check on the refund until weeks later because I had to deal with the administrative fallout and general tedium of moving.] At closing, too, the TITLE DEED he wanted me to simply sign (without double checking) had the WRONG UNIT on it. The papers I was supposed to sign had multiple errors all over them, and he had to fix and reprint several sheets of paper, resulting in him being late for his next meeting. [UPDATE: Matt has stated both during our call today and at closing in June that when I was signing the documents was the first time he had himself read them, so any errors that came up were really the mistakes of the deed and title companies, who themselves had lawyers and other people working on the documents.] Overall, it felt like Matt had no time to really pay attention to my case. I wish I had gone with someone else. I'm now continuing to deal with the fallout of having been blindsided this entire process. I have all the documents and receipts to prove what happened. If you want to go with Matt, make sure you're on top of the entire process yourself. Otherwise, find someone else who will actually look out for you. [FINAL UPDATE: I feel that Matt did get the brunt of my displeasure at the entire homebuying process, which was especially shitty in Jersey City. It was not Matt's fault that so much of the process was frustrating and frankly borderline illegal. The builders and developers had a part to play as well, and the seller's attorney was difficult to work with, causing many of these issues. I've suggested to Matt that his firm finds more assistance so he can have more time to focus on his cases and his clients' needs. In future, I would find a different attorney for myself, as I want someone who's more proactive about communicating with me. Matt may improve in future too, and he seemed genuinely distraught

Matt was exceptional to work with. He was diligent, super responsive, and knowledgeable. Our transaction was challenging, and despite all the difficulty, Matt remained patient and reassuring throughout the process. Importantly - I walked away with 100 percent trust in Matt’s capability to close d...ifficult transactions. Being my third home purchase, Matt is BY FAR the best real estate lawyer I’ve ever worked with. Will absolutely use him again for my next transaction.

Lawyer Matthew Scott Feinbloom is honest, accommodating and easy to reach. Every time I called his office there was no wait time and the receptionist gladly connected me to him. The office environment is great and he gives his 100% to the customer. I have recommended him to all of my friends because ...of his unique qualities and affordable charges.
