GREAT Attorney - Very Patient and Knowledgeable

Jeff Gorak has done a considerable amount of legal work for my mother. He is always very patient and takes the time to answer all of our questions and explain each process. He makes sure to check in regularly when working on long-term projects and keeps us informed of important changes. I'm a litt...le bit of a tough customer since I work for a SF law firm, and in my opinion, our attorneys work hard to give our clients the best service possible. Seeing their passion and hard work caused me to expect nothing less than that same work ethic from my mom's attorney. Frankly, Jeff Gorak far exceeded my expectations. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone who needed an attorney.

Home Sale

Jeffrey P. Gorak represented my husband and I in the sale of our home in Middle Village, Queens. We felt very confident in his professional demeanor in handling the transfer to the new owner on January 22, 2015. The home had been in my husband's family since it was built in 1954. We closed on the ...house within 3 months of signing the contract. Jeffrey kept us informed throughout the whole process. He leaned on the buyer's lawyer to culminate the sale within the legal restraints of the contract. The closing took place at the firm's office in Elmhurst and was efficiently completed in less than one and a half hours. We were extremely satisfied with his services and would highly recommend Jeffrey P. Gorak to others that are in the market to sell their home.

Not your typical attorney!

Attorney Gorak responded to the need for immediate help on several legal issues with kindness, caring, intelligence, expertise and understanding to resolve multiple legal issues for an acutely ill out-of-town client. This knowledgeable attorney went above and beyond to accomplish tasks while coor...dinating the various needs of his client with other legal professionals. It was extremely fortunate that during an initial consultation Attorney Gorak provided solutions to issues that had eluded other legal professionals consulted on the same issues. His fees were fair and we hope he decides to expand his practiceto the New England area!
