Very satisfied overall

Jodi was hired as our real estate attorney as we were going through the process of buying a commercial property in Manhattan. We decided to go with her firm on a recommendation, and what swayed us is that she was available in person if needed. We were not disappointed - Jodi and her assistant Brandi ...were very helpful in keeping us in the know regarding the sometimes frustrating process of buying a Manhattan-based commercial property. It is a solo law practice, so there is no cross coverage - but it didn't affect us significantly as both Jodi and Brandi were very responsive and responsible, helping nudge us along when necessary. Jodi was prepared during the closing day and explained every step point by point. I recommend Jodi without reservations.

Wonderful coop buying experience.

Jodi and her team were a godsend. We purchased a coop and they guided us through the process seamlessly. They even pushed hard (and succeeded) for a closing date that worked with our impending mortgage rate lock. Jodi was great at the closing, explaining all the documents without being condescending....

Buying a condo

We had Brandy and Jodi as our lawyers for buying a condo in Brooklyn. They explained to us the whole process from making an offer to signing the contract and the closing. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and were always available to answer any question we had on the contract. It made buying a ...property a smooth process for us.

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.
