Highly recommend

Jean and her team helped us close our first home in Manhattan. The team is highly efficient and made the whole process seamless for us. Jean is very knowledgeable, she explained the key points of all the seemingly intimidating legal documents very clearly to us, and was very patient with our question...s. She and her team also answered all of our emails very timely and made us feel they genuinely cared about our interests. The experience was very pleasant and we would highly recommend her.

Coop closing

Alison Meigh handled my coop closing and I really appreciate her organization and making sure I understood what would happen as the process occurred and also clearly stated the amount of money due at closing. The previous owner attempted to tell me that I owed for the taxes at the closing. If Aliso...n had not been there I would not have known what to do.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!

If I could give more stars I would! Jean is phenomenal to work with. I used her on several occasions for renting/selling my apt and she made each transaction easy & painless. I would use her again in a heartbeat! Thanks Jean!

Excellent Service

Jean and her team were great to work with and made the process of buying a house go very smoothly. We felt like we were in good hands from start to finish. Jean and her colleague Alison were always very responsive to our questions, thorough in their explanations and always courteous and friendly. ... The combination of her extensive experience and terrific customer service made Jean such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Acts like a partner for you

Jean and her team just represented me in a 2bdr midtown coop closing. I would highly recommend her. She was quick and diligent throughout the whole process. She took care of all the heavy lifting. For anyone not familiar with real estate law/process, she was able to explain all the technical jargon i...n layman terms. She also send me friendly reminders about upcoming deadlines and checked in frequently. My wife and I met her in person once in the beginning and again at closing. All other correspondence was done through phone/email. Very convenient for us.
