Great job on apartment purchase

Jodi and her assistant Brandy did a great job helping me complete my first home purchase, which was a complicated deal. They were extremely professional and responsive. Highly recommended.

Not once but THRICE

I have worked Jodi Materna of Materna Law not once but three residential real estate transactions. Two purchases and one sale. I could not have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable team. I highly recommend Materna Law and I look forward to working with them again for future transactions.

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.

Helpful, knowledgable and prompt responses

Jodi and her firm helped me with purchasing my place. They were always responsive with helpful advice and active help, more so when issues arose with the other sides. I'll happily use her services again, and would recommend her to my friends.

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....

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.
