Thank you, very well done!

Attorney Felicia Hirshfeld was referred to me by my real estate agent on 9/28/18. On 12/3/18 We did our closing satisfactorily. Although there were some hurdles in the process of getting all the requirements for closing, especially from the lending company, Attorney Felicia went above and beyond to ...ensure that everything was addressed and resolved in timely manner. She provided us excellent communication and updates through emails and phone calls. She worked with us through the whole process very professionally, yet friendly enough to make us feel comfortable. The papers works and documents to go over at closing were overwhelming, but Attorney Felicia's legal experiences in the subject and her excellent customer services skills made it easier for us to complete. Thank you Attorney Felicia, very well done!

A Pleasure To Do Business With!

I was selling my house and needed an attorney for closing. I found Felicia via a Google search. I called other attorneys as well, but I decided to use Felicia for 2 reasons initially. First, she offered the most reasonable price. Secondly, I actually got a chance to speak to her over the phone and sh...e seemed very knowledgeable and thorough so I decided to hire her. I no longer live in New York, so this entire transaction was done via email and telephone. When dealing with any business transaction, one of the most frustrating things to encounter is poor communication. Waiting for a phone call or a response to an email can be very frustrating. This was not an issue with Felicia. If I emailed her with a question, 9 times out of 10, I would get an immediate reply. And the 10th time, I would receive a reply in a reasonable amount of time. The majority of our correspondence was via email. When we spoke on the phone, Felicia was always precise, informative, professional, personable and polite. And she always made sure I was clear on everything discussed prior to ending the call. I felt very confident in Felicia’s skills. So much so that I was comfortable giving her power of attorney at my closing so I would not have to attend. The entire process was smooth and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Also, Felicia’s husband is a divorce attorney. I was going to retain him for his services. I had a brief conversation with him over the phone and just like Felicia, he was precise, professional, knowledgeable, confident, personable and polite. It turned out that I didn’t need his services after all. He was polite enough to research my case for me and informed me that I didn’t need his services because I was already divorced. Duh! I really appreciated that. I would HIGHLY recommend Felicia to anyone who needs the services she provides. She truly was a pleasure to deal with!

Exemplary Service!

We were referrred to Felicia and are ever grateful for her service. She was attentive, informative and professional. Her office is warm and inviting and her staff are courteous. She assisted with the sale of our home and we are eager to begin the process for the sale of another property. Felicia und...erstood our family’s needs and thoroughly explained the closing process. We highly recommend her for real estate law.

Great experience

My 89 year-old mother and I worked with Felicia to complete the necessary steps to protect mother's assets. This involved not only a will but setting up trust. Felicia is not only knowledgeable, she guided us through the process in a kind caring way-- traits that are extremely important when deali...ng with an 89 year old woman. Felicia is kind, sensitive, and caring--traits you don't expect to find in an attorney, but which made the entire process easier to deal with. I have already recommended Felicia to two friends. This was a wonderful experience.

Excellent legal advocate

Felicia Hirshfeld helped me with a real estate closing. In the end, her thorough work in terms of her prompt response to my inquiries, her calm and reassuring composure, her legal background and updated knowledge in this area, and going beyond her required legal assistance made me feel that I should ...have paid her triple the reasonable fees she charged. I would recommend her unequivocally, and will continue to use her services in the future.
