Jay R Schmerler, Attorney

I went through a bankruptcy 5 years ago, and Jay handled every detail expeditiously and kept me informed through each and every step. Recently, I completed my payments, and again Jay was prompt and professional an took care of the Order of Discharge expeditiously.

residential closing

Jay is knowledgable, proactive and readily accessible. He was very well prepared to handle my stressful closing. We met Jay 10 years ago when he handled another closing, and he was just as impressive at that time. I recommend Jay whole heartedly and without reservation.

Posted by Rich | November 22, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Very professional & reasonable!

My wife & I initially hired Jay to draw up new wills and other documents which were done in a timely matter. He then handled a family member's bankruptcy with outstanding results.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
