Had contracted Michael for a house closing. He was very knowledgeable and understanding of our needs. He went out of his way at closing to iron out a particular situation - which could have gone very bad for us if he had not noted it. He is a busy man, so be prepared to remind him now and then to ke...ep on top of your case. Will definitely hire him again in the future.

Mike guided me thru my entire home purchase process. He negotiated the terms of the purchase contract, ensuring that my interests were protected. He reviewed the inspection report and advised me on the best strategy to get credits against the home price. He also ordered and reviewed the title insuran...ce, prepared all the closing documents and attended the closing. He is very experienced and knowledgeable of the home buying process. Also, he was always a phone call away to answer any questions or address any concerns that I had. I was very pleased with the process and I recommend his services, without reservation, to anyone embarking a home purchase.

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.
