The real deal

Ben is the real deal......Smart, professional, organized and easy to deal with. Responsive day, night, weekend, or even when he is on vacation (as he was during the negotiations on my real estate deal). Smoothest closing in my life. Very highly recommended

EXCELLENT real estate attorney

I had such a positive experience with Ben six years ago during the purchase of my first home, that I have recommended him to everyone I know looking for a real estate attorney! In addition to getting the job done quickly and efficiently, Ben takes the time to really listen to his clients, answer any ...questions you may have and truly has your best interest in mind. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and understand the process every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can trust and will get the job done as quickly and as possible, I highly recommend Ben.

Super responsive, organized, and knowledgeable attorney

Ben Cooper is excellent - super organized and highly detail-oriented. He kept us fully informed every step of the way and we appreciated that there were no surprises at the end in terms of unexpected costs. Appreciated his responsiveness whenever we had any questions or concerns. Would recommend him ...to anyone and would absolutely use him again should we need another attorney.

patient and knowledgeable

Having hired dozens of corporate attorneys over the years, I find Ben to be as good as the best I have worked with. Ben enjoys his work and clearly is not a "run up the bill" type of attorney and he certainly is not looking to complicate any deal. Instead, and refreshingly so, he is always looking ...out for your rights and your interests, while maintaining a sensible "get the deal done" stance. I look forward to continuing to work with Ben for a long time.

Real estate attorney recommendation

Ben Cooper is very intelligent attorney. He put in an extra effort when reviewing the short sale contract on the house I was interested in. Ben’s addendum had a lot of significant clauses not included in the original contract. Seller, their realtor, and their attorney were not very responsive, so Ben... put in an extra effort to engage them and ensured we received responses from the seller’s attorney. I recommend Ben to anyone looking for a quality real estate attorney.
