Judy S. Mock

I contacted Judy in regards to assisting me with my Advanced Directives. Initially we communicated via email, which was very convenient for me. Judy was very responsive and sent over a detailed questionnaire that helped me to outline all my wishes. The questionnaire was extremely helpful, as some of ...the questions listed I would have not thought to address. After many emails back and forth fine tuning the documents and a phone call; I was able to meet with Judy to execute the documents. Judy was very thorough in her explanations, efficient, and respectful of my time (I had to head to work after our meeting). Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would recommend Judy.

Working with Judy on our Brooklyn condo purchase was a fantastic experience. She had a great attitude and obvious commitment to helping us get the best outcome possible. We had a long home purchase process involving a number of accepted offers falling through (I believe 5 in total). Judy was very pat...ient and diligent about reviewing each and every offer with urgency and care. She provided strong consultation as to the pros and cons of each deal with a holistic approach. Her process is thorough and always keeps buyers interest in mind. At times that can be against 'what you want to happen' and 'what your agent wants to happen'. However, we found it invaluable to put some faith into her abilities and deep experience. Ultimately we could not be more satisfied with the outcome.

Creating a will, advanced directives, and a health care proxy is not a fun task so luckily Judy was there to make it as easy as possible. She was knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and explained things in a way to make sure we understood what each document meant. She was also decisive an...d helpful when trying to make decisions. Highly recommend!

Judy worked with me on securing my first home purchase. She walked me through every step of the way and answered all of my countless questions. This alone was a very time consuming process considering it was my first home purchase, and it being a co-op apartment made it much more complex. But she did... it patiently without a single complaint. I naively believed that most coops were managed well and did not usually have issues with their financials, but I was very quickly taught otherwise. In fact, the first coop I had an accepted offer with turned out to be mismanaged and riddled with lawsuits. I would not have known without Judy’s diligence. Judy is extremely detailed-oriented and knowledgeable. Not only would she review the due diligence documents provided by the coop, but she would go above and beyond by researching outstanding lawsuits and other public information and records. Whereas, most real estate lawyers I’ve heard through word of mouth do the very minimum to get you to close as soon as possible. Judy was determined to make sure I received and understood all of the information provided and more, so that I could make the best decision for myself. All of my emails and phone calls are quickly answered and returned. Judy is really on top of everything. She genuinely wants the very best for her clients. She even recommended multiple lenders to make sure I received the best rates with the lowest fees. Additionally, she took extra steps to minimize my closing costs when she easily didn’t have to. Judy is also very risk averse. This is a very good quality to have when working with a lawyer. She is very straight forward and tells you honestly what she thinks when a transaction is not a good deal or too risky to take on. All of her advice and guidance was invaluable to me when I was deciding whether or not to go forward with any deal. She understands the decision is ultimately up to her clients, but knowing all the risks only benefits them. I’ve spoken to several of my friends who find out about potential risks and issues only after they close. Judy has earned herself a lifelong client. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lawyer.

We recently became parents and hired Judy to assist with updating our LWAT and other documents to factor in our daughter. We first contacted Judy when my wife was ~8 months pregnant, then got sidetracked with the baby, and resumed the process more than 6 months later. Judy was unfazed and picked up r...ight where we left off. She was thorough during all document prep and review, and gave us clear, thoughtful advice and explanations for items we did not fully understand. She was extremely direct and to-the-point, and provided detailed, explicit instructions to lead us every step of the way. We feel much better knowing that our daughter is covered should something happen to us, and are so very appreciative of Judy's knowledge and guidance to get us there. Would definitely recommend her services!
