Incredibly thorough and a pleasure to have hired as my attorney

Jodi Materna has represented me in multiple deals and I can say that she is incredibly thorough. She is not only attentive and meticulous but has an incredible eye for detail. Every question I had was answered and explained clearly with ease. I was a referral to Jodi Materna's office and I c...an safely say, that if I even hear someone say that they need a real estate attorney I make sure that they take her name and telephone number!

Jodi was the lawyer during my first homeowner purchase in NYC. She was extremely knowledgable and very responsive to all my questions during the entire process. She took the time to explain all the documentation to me. I would highly recommend Jodi.

Materna Law - worth the trip

My first visit to Ms. Materna was a trip, but a story with a happy ending. I traveled from Hastings on the Hudson to visit Ms. Materna by referral, and I'm glad I did. The commute there was long but my visit with her was well spent. I was (embarrassingly) over 45 min late for my appointment with her ...because I waited in the waiting room at my doctor's office for close to 2 hrs before this, and did not anticipate the delay to see her. I couldn't even contact her because I was in the subway on my way to her from my doctor's office. She graciously understood and immediately rescheduled with me for an appointment later on in the day where she found an opening in her schedule. I overwhelmingly appreciated that. She is fantastic! She is one of the most attentive lawyers I've ever met. I thought she was going to rush me but she didn't. She made sure I understood everything I needed to know before I left. I thought that was fabulous. To think, the doctor I waited close to 2 hrs for rushed me through my visit to move on to the next patient, when this sweet attorney really made me comfortable and calmed me down by unraveling my confusing real estate deal into a comprehensible achievable matter. I have since referred her to my cousin, granddaughter and all of you. There were many attorneys between Hastings on the Hudson and Wall St, but there's only one Jodi M. Materna. From a proud and thankful client, Gertrude

I'm a lawyer who needed a lawyer for my real estate deal

I am a graduate of both law school and business school and thought I knew everything when it came time to purchase my first penthouse apartment with my wife in a multi-million dollar building. However, I do not handle real estate transactions at all, and it soon became clear that I needed an attorney... who specialized in this. I was referred to Jodi Materna via 3 different people who do not know each other, and after my first meeting with her, I now know why. She is patient, trustworthy, impressively educated, and sincere. My real estate deal was very complex but she knew how to handle it with poise and confidence. She knows what she's talking about and does not let any stone go unturned. She warned me of things I otherwise was not aware of, and guided me through my real estate purchase flawlessly. Now that it has completed successfully, I have nothing but accolades for her. I most definitely recommend her. And if you don't take my work for it, take someone else's word for it - because I'm sure you too will hear her name buzzing around town. She's the best.

Excellent Client Experience

I could not have made a better choice in opting to work with Ms. Materna. She represented me in my first home purchase and was both incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout the process. She answered every question asked and was very detailed in representing my interests in the closing. ...Subsequently, I utilized her services for estate planning. Due to travel, the set-up of my will was on a tight time frame, but Ms. Materna still managed to make it a priority and get everything completed in advance. I would highly recommend her to friends and colleagues.
