EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I hired Mike as the Buyer's attorney for an investment condo in Jersey City. My first time buying a condo. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, professional and puts the interest of his clients first (at least in my case). Fees were reasonable and clearly stated with no surprises. Never had to... go through a "middle person" (receptionist) to get a hold of him. Always answered phone calls and e-mails the same day (sometimes after work hours). I was amazed at the amendment to the contract he came up with after the attorney review. However, the deal didn't go through due to some factors out of our control but Seller and his attorney refused to return my initial good faith deposit. They wanted me to pay $1,000. Long story short, Mike fought very hard for me and spent so much time (much more than he would spent if the deal went through) and finally, after one and a half months, they agreed to return my deposit (this was after they lowered the amount to $500 but we didn't give in). Mike didn't charge me anything extra despite so many frustrating hours were put into this matter. I will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for an experienced attorney.

Excellent Real Estate Advice & Services

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.

We can heartily recommend the services of Mr. Michael Schonberger for your real estate transactions.

We have used his services on two occasions. Mr. Schonberger handled the sale of our residence in Lawrenceville a few years ago. He also assisted us in the purchase of investment property in Pennington which successfully closed in late December of 2013. At all times, in both instances, we have found M...r. Schonberger to be very responsive to our numerous questions and concerns. This was particularly evident during the most recent transaction in which the Seller of the property was, at times, very difficult with which to work. Mr. Schonberger is a very experienced attorney and, in many instances, was able to anticipate and react to issues before they became problematic and interfere with the transaction's timetable. Most importantly, we were always confident in knowing that protecting our interests was Mr. Schonberger's primary concern.

Well done.

Mr. Schonberger was referred to me for a home closing in NJ. It was a FSBO and I did not use a Realtor, so there was additional legwork that went in to being certain all issues were addressed. I felt very comfortable with the review process and Mr. Schonberger's knowledge of real estate issues. He ..."ran the show" at the closing and was thorough, yet expeditious.

I will definitely hire Michael again.

We hired Michael to buy our condo, he was recommended by a good friend of mine. Our deal was not the easiest one, my fiancee and I were not married yet and she was still living abroad. Michael handled everything with utmost regard to our concerns and financial well-being. His short, efficient, to-...the-point attitude suited us perfectly. I will definitely hire him again.
