Jodi Marie Materna

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.

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.

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.

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.
