Review Anna-Maria Pittella

The process

Posted by

Anna-Maria Pittella was a rock of support through a very difficult time in my life and her fine council helped me get passed the process and come out the other side as best I could . I think if I would have went to litigation things would have been much more contentious and difficult so I'm very happy I chose Anna-Maria to represent my interests !

Competent, experienced, and supportive

Posted by

My husband and I worked with Anna-Maria Pittella for both selling/buying of our old/new home where both transactions were full of many challenges. Anna Maria was very knowledgeable and always responded quickly and provided guidance. Even when the situation became complicated, she got us through the entire process with patience, ease and a positive outcome. We also worked with Anna-Maria to update our wills and sell a timeshare. She is highly professional yet creates a comfortable environment to 'get the job done'.
