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

Mr. SHAH is very professional attorney

I initially met Mr. Shah through my realtor. I used Mr. Shah’s services for purchasing a single family home during March 2018. Mr. Shah responded to me very well and communicated by email very promptly and efficiently as I was a buyer residing out of the country. He responded to my emails and questio...ns very timely and professionally. He is very diligent and hardworking attorney. I appreciate his replies as his language is very simple and clear which helps me understand since I am a first time buyer. Mr. Shah insured that I closed on time since on the day of the closing I was flying out of the country. I would highly recommend Mr. Shah’s services to my friends, family and business associates.

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.

HIRE MR. SHAH IF YOU WANT THE CLOSING DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

I closed on the sale of my home during March 2018. I have used Mr. Shah’s service when I previously purchased my home. I choose to come back to Mr. Shah because I want the job done right the first time as he did in my previous closing. He is a no nonsense lawyer and stands up for his clients. He d...oes what is right and is very straightforward. He also knows how to respond to difficult opposing attorneys. What I like best about Mr. Shah is that he makes sure his client does not get taken for granted. Mr. Shah is very accessible by phone and often answered the phone himself. He is very email responsive. Shurine from Mr. Shah’s office works very diligent and also is very detailed oriented and communicates well. I would highly recommend Mr. Shah to anyone who needs a lawyer. I was lucky to have him represent me and knew I was guaranteed to have a successful closing. Happy to be an returning client and received the same exceptional service years later.
