Alison Ellen Kosberg

Alison was recommended by our realtor, and my wife and I were very impressed with how she kept us informed and made us feel at ease through the entire home-buying process. Alison and Donna, her paralegal, kept everyone in the loop via e-mail and quickly answered any questions that we had. When there ...were some issues with the home inspection, Alison ensured that everything was addressed in a timely manner before closing. We were unfamiliar with a Use and Occupancy Agreement, but Alison walked us through it all and made us feel secure that she was looking out for our best interest. Even during the actual closing, when the title company representative started asking us for documents directly, Alison stepped right in and explained that she was representing us and took charge for a smooth, easy closing! Great experience! We highly recommend her and her team and look forward to using her services again!

I've finally closed on my first home. And Alison and her team was helping me along the way. And I'm super happy I did choose her. I was aware of everything that happens along the way. She was always available (yes, sometimes you need to wait an hour or two for call back, or sometimes you might speak ...with paralegal instead... but hey - I'm not her only client for sure) and was always attentive to my questions. All the activities were transparent and efficient. Closing was a breeze and I got full understanding of all the paperwork and etc. I can't be happier of my attorney choice and so would highly recommend her and her team for any real estate transactions.

I am a little embarrassed to admit then when my mother passed away, my siblings and I were constantly fighting over what to do with our mother's house. Keep or sell? If sell, for how much? The arguments never ended. We could not agree on anything. Eventually we decided to sell and listed with a ...real estate agent and received an offer we accepted. Here is where Allison came in. Our buyer was very difficult and coupling that with our own family bickering it seemed that all would fall apart. Allison managed to navigate all this and get us to the closing. At the same time she was sensitive to our "dysfunctional" family and not only helped keep the peace but in the end she brought us closer together. So, not only does she have great legal skills but she is also a kind human being who treated us like more than clients. She thoroughly explained everything to us and sometimes she had to do that four times and there are 4 of us. Very patient lady.

I want to admit first: I was naive and stupid. Learned my lesson! I think I paid hefty price though. Got her name through my realtor(you shall NEVER do that). It is my first house purchase so you know why. I am buying a really old house. I like the style of the house but my inspector found a lot of... issues. I was hoping to negotiate some money back for the extensive repair/replacement I am expecting to do in the very near future:very old windows, cracked roofing pieces, almost dead water heater/a/c unit, garage door repair/roof replacement etc. The attorney didn't make any real effort to help me negotiate. very slow response to my calls/concerns. In more than 1 occasion, it took more than 2 days to hear back from her.When I got the response of the sellers via my realtor, I called the attorney's office and they didn't even know the response had arrived! I closed on the house but I am not happy about the whole experience. Had I hired a decent lawyer, I believe I would have got AT LEAST $5000-7000 credit(those repairs are very expensive). I see there are some positive reviews out there. Maybe she used to be more client focused. I can only speak for my own experience. I wouldn't recommend her to anybody.
