Terrible

I HIRED her as a real estate attorney. She was hostile - SPECIFICALLY - she was unwilling to act politely and basically told me to fix the issues with the house myself after I had paid her. I had to go elsewhere. I have emails, witnesses and call logs. It was extremely upsetting during an especi...ally stressful and costly time and I didn’t need to hear that while I’m trying to close on a house where countless problems with the structure were uncovered. I do not recommend! This review is from my experience last year. I have receipts and emails and phone logs, so yes, this is the absolute correct attorney. To say I’m wasn’t a client is fanning the flames of the fire and completely and grotesquely unprofessional.

I'm sorry but I do not think you're a client of mine. Especially posting "anonymously." I have very good relationships with my clients as you can see by my other reviews so I'm sure you've mistaken me for someone else. I was also on maternity leave for majority of last year so there's no way this was with my office. During any real estate transaction, Buyers are afforded an inspection contingency period where they can uncover any issues with a home. Our team goes above and beyond to help buyers get any issues resolved. Therefore, this is clearly not my office as I would never tell someone to fix the issues themselves if there were so many problems with a house. In fact, if you were a client of mine, I would have helped you get out of the contract if there were so many issues. I'd also like to point out that our office does not get paid until the transaction is closed so there is no way I would have gotten paid, told you to fix the issues yourself, and then you have the ability to hire someone else as you stated. That is not how transactions work in my office. I'm sorry you had a bad experience but you absolutely have me mistaken for someone else.

Top-notch

We recently worked with Olinski Law to sell our house, and the experience was fantastic. Their communication was top-notch, keeping us informed every step of the way. The process was smooth and hassle-free, with everything handled efficiently and clearly explained. If you need a real estate attorney ...who makes things easy, I highly recommend Olinski Law.

Excellent Experience!

I have had Gwendolyn represent me in two closing in the past year and I am completely satisfied with the service she has provided. Gwendolyn was very responsive to my questions and offered sound advice during the buyer/seller negotiations. She has kept me up to date on all discussions between the t...wo attorneys on all items of concern from both parties. I would highly recommend Gwendolyn for your real estate transactions.

Absolutely the Best

Had a house closing that kept getting delayed due to Mortgage Company dragging their feet. Gwendolyn hung in there and kept explaining my rights to me so I could make the best decision possible in selling my home. She also kept contacting the other parties to get status on a regular basis and made ...sure I was in the loop. It took 3 months, a "Time is Of the Essence" submission and her constant attention, but we finally closed. So happy that she was on my side - looking out for my best interests and explaining everything to me. She was extremely patient and gladly explained any questions that my husband or I had.

Wonderful Experience, Knowledgable and Responsive!

Gwendolyn was the lawyer for my first home purchase. I knew nothing about the process and was quite intimidated especially since I was purchasing with a 203k loan, but she explained everything clearly and patiently. She answered all my e-mails promptly and efficiently and was very patient throughout ...the entire process. She even made sure to keep in contact with us while she was on vacation! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a real estate lawyer.
