Condo Purchase Representation

Jodi represented my son and I in a recent condo purchase. She is very knowledgeable, personable and took the time to explain every step of the process. At closing, she was very organized and provided the right level of information that were needed on all documents signed by us. She is responsive a...nd accessible when questions arise. Of note, Jodi represented my daughter and I in 2012 on a similar purchase. My experience with her then, made it easy for me to call her again.

Closing Attorney

Jodi and her team were aboslutely fabulous and profesional. As I was doing this transaction while moving back into the country, Jodi truly looked out for us and gave great advice. The process could not be smoother. Plus the highest integrity. I would recomend her and her team to eveeryone!

Doesn't care / bad work ethic

Requested help with will preparation. Spoke to Jodi herself and was promised to receive a will intake form the same day. 12 days later her assistant decided to finally email a simple intake form. Explanation of the tardiness was how busy the office is and that the focus is on Real Estate. Little did ...they know that I wanted to test out there services with a will preparation yet have several real estate deals in the pipeline where I was looking for an attorney. Customer Service and responsiveness goes a long way - or not. We will definitely not be using her. I work for a multi-national financial corporation with more than 10,000 employees in New York City alone. I will make sure that we no longer use her for any advice.

Always my first recommendation

I have been fortunate to do a number of transactions with Jodi & her team. She is diligent, thorough, communicative, and has been a valued asset to my clientele. I truly enjoy her kind demeanor and professionalism, especially in a challenging situation. Personally, I hired Jodi as buyer's attorney... for my own purchase. Not a stone was left unturned, and I had zero questions left unanswered. Simply put, I always suggest Jodi first for my buyers, sellers, & investors.

Trusted advisor over the past several years

I have known and worked with Jodi and her team over the past 4 years. I've had nothing but the best experience and professionalism from them in my real estate purchase, and sell transactions. They take time to explain the process, follow up on all the detailed items needed, and are available whenev...er I had questions. I highly recommend Jodi for anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
