Probate

All I can say is, thank god for Joanne. She was recommended to me from my real estate agent. The horrors that you hear about while going thru probate are indeed true. I could not have gone thru this process without her. She took the reins, led me, guided me, supported me, and kept me on a timelin...e. She was always available to me if I had a question. She was thorough with her answers. She was patient if I didn't understand something. You will not find a better attorney to help you in probate or any real estate transaction. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic service!

We hired Joanne as our attorney when we purchased our house this year. She was wonderful to work with. I've never heard of a lawyer responding to questions or concerns 24 hours a day before I met Joanne. She was efficient, honest, and fast in everything she did. She is also a genuinely nice person wh...ich is always a bonus. Even when the mortgage company or the seller were causing problems, Joanne always kept me and my husband calm and helped us through the entire process. Hiring her was one of the absolute best choices we made. We will be using her services in the future for our wills and will always feel confident recommending her to friends and family.

Fantastic attorney!

My husband and I hired Joanne as our real estate attorney when we purchased our first home. The closing process became complicated and delayed when the seller became deceased a few days before. Joanne ensured a stress free and seamless transition to a new closing date. She worked with the seller's ag...ent and family to handle all of the extra paperwork and kept us informed along the way. Her extensive knowledge of how to handle an unexpected hurdle in the closing process gave us peace of mind. We have also used her services for more personal matters and she has always been easily accessible for addressing any questions or concerns we have had. We would highly recommend her for your legal needs!

Fantastic attorney

Ms. Sorrentino assisted us in our first purchase of a piece of commercial property. Not having any idea what was ahead of us, she walked us through the process - and many times held our hands - to make sure that we were aware of and understood everything. She even had to keep after the seller's at...torney to make sure that deadlines were met. Unfortunately, the property was in much worse shape structurally than anticipated. Ms. Sorrentino had skillfully written the contract so that we could discontinue to process with no financial consequences to us. We had this result because her attention to detail, time management, follow up, and knowledge of the process is above reproach. When we are ready to buy anther property we will be sure to use her. One of the best aspects of working with Ms. Sorrentino is the education approach she uses. She didn't just tell us what to do, she told us why we were doing it. That doesn't always happen when working with an attorney!
