Michael C Schonberger

Honest, knowledgeable, experienced, forthcoming, and very helpful. Keeps his client’s interests first and foremost. Will definitely work with him again and highly recommend his services. As perspective home buyers, my wife and I hired Mike Schonberger as a real estate attorney to conduct the rev...iew of a real estate offer contract that we had submitted with a realtor and had been accepted by the sellers. To our great benefit, Mike immediately disapproved the contract and requested the inclusion of additional language to protect our interests. The sellers of this property were very difficult to work with and attorney review lasted for over two weeks. During that period, Mike kept in contact with the seller’s attorney and kept us well informed of what was being requested of us and what we should and should not be willing to accept. Toward the end of the negotiations, the seller verbally requested that if we were to concede a couple of items, that the deal would be complete. After talking with Mike, we decided that were willing to concede these items; however, upon the seller’s submittal of the requested contract language, Mike pointed out and explained to us that there were a number of terms listed that we had not discussed and that we should not be willing to concede. His explanation was very clear and ultimately led us to rejecting the contract and terminating the negotiations. Throughout this process, Mike was the only party involved who kept our interests his highest priority. He was always willing to explain things to us in a way that made sense, and if not for him, we may have gotten into a contract that we would have regretted. My advice: do not trust a realtor to keep your interests in mind, but rather use an attorney as honest and knowledgeable as Mike to work through any real estate transaction.

I invested in a real estate venture with Mike Schonberger, who handled all the legal matters involved with the transaction. He was thorough, professional, and timely in all my dealings with him. The investment was very successful and exceeded my investment objectives. Mike was flexible and easy to wo...rk with at all times. He thoroughly explained the risks and benefits of every decision that needed to be made. I would be happy to work with Mike again should the right investment opportunity arise.

I was thinking of hiring a contractor to renovate and expand my prior residence. I called Mr. Schonberger to discuss the pros and cons of doing the work on my house vs. buying a new, larger house. Mr. Schonberger provided keen insight and demonstrated an in depth understanding of the area I was livin...g in as well as what was available on the market. He provided numerous examples of why my inclination to renovate was ill-conceived. In the end, I sold my house, using Mr. Schonberger's services and purchase a new house, again using Mr. Schonberger's services. It was the best decision I ever made. I strongly recommend Mr. Schonberger and his services.
