The most horrible lawyer!

Mr Shah is the most horrible lawyer I ever dealt in my life. He agreed to close my house less than $1000 and I got my final bill $3200 for my closing. It was a simple straightforward closing. When I asked him about this..his response was he will give me 30 seconds to get out from his office. I nev...er forget such a horrible experience in my life. Never ever trust him..

Stay away from this attorney. Overcharged $450 on closing disclosure.

We purchased our home in August 2020 having Sital Shah as our attorney. We are over charged by $450 in addition to agreed amount. It's been 11 months and still no resolution. Initially, he would respond to my queries with explanation and excuses which did not relate to my questions regarding overchar...ge and lately he stopped responding at all to my email. I would never ever hire him as my attorney. Only hire this guy if you have extra $$ floating around and oh yea be ready for some sarcasm and attitude (these are bonuses) you get working with him.

Lawyer with great attitude and no experience with real estate

I hired him for both selling and buying my house. He did not add any value in negotiations with my buyers and sellers. He worked as a mail forwarding agent. We agreed to a fee which he forgot and put a higher fee in the settlement amount. There were items in my settlement document for selling my hous...e that he and his associate could not explain. That tells me that he does not review the numbers He has a great attitude which is not a customer focused. He does not communicate well with his fees. Initially he offered to close on my behalf, but never told me that he will charge $200 for that. When I refused his service for closing, he got very angry. His office does not have a/c which makes it hard to work in summer. He does not seem to care about that. He and his associates hardly return phone call. I also find him very inexperienced with real estate issues like title insurance charge. He could not explain the charge beside saying it is accurate . He even did not want to give me contact number for title insurance. He did not consult me in choosing title company and disclosed fees earlier If you need someone to forward emails, then you can hire him. He is definitely not worth hiring as a lawyer

New Home Closing

I closed a new construction home in March of 2018. Sital was very personable and reliable from the very beginning of the process. He patiently answered all of my questions as a first time buyer and replied to my many emails very promptly including emails I sent to him after hours. He provides sound ...advise and conveys messages in a simple and clear manner. This is very important to me as I was a first time buyer and not aware of the process. Sital and his staff is very detailed oriented and did a great job in managing and communicating with my lender and getting us to close on time. His charges were also very reasonable and quality of his work is very good. I would give my highest recommendation for his services to my friends and family.

When You Want to Hire An Aggressive Attorney Than Look No Further Than Mr. Shah

I closed an investment property in March 2018. Mr. Shah was referred to me by my realtor. I did portion of the closing in California and Mr. Shah finished the balance of the closing in New Jersey. Mr. Shah and his team coordinated the closing very well as it was a difficult closing and managing mul...tiple parties. Mr. Shah and his team take the time to explain the process and answered all of my questions as this was my first investment property. I found Mr. Shah to be clear, concise and able to speak in layman terms which was easier for me as a first time buyer to understand the process. The Seller’s attorney and the Seller were very difficult to handle but make no mistake Mr. Shah knows how to handle a difficult situation and has the ability to execute and makes things happen. Mr. Shah often emailed me after hours as I was in a three hour time difference. I found his charges to be reasonable as well and I appreciated how he saved me money and explained were in the process he saved me money. His staff is also very efficient and polite. I will highly recommend Mr. Shah to my friends and family and I will use his services for my next property for sure.
