Judy S. Mock

I highly recommend Judy Mock! She made my first time home buyer experience as smooth as silk! I am a first time home buyer in New York and was in for lots of surprises. The first being the need to have an attorney to represent me to close on a house. Soon after I had my offer accepted, I had to fi...nd an attorney to work with me with the contracts and closing. I met Judy from a referral by my employer’s MetLife/Hyatt Legal Plan and on the first phone call to her back in September, I immediately knew that she would be able to take me through this home buying adventure. Although she gets paid a fraction of her fees through such legal plans, she still treated me like all of her other private clients. She delivered her legal services with such attention to detail and compassion throughout this process. With patience and empathy, Judy walked me through the process of signing the initial contract and answered all the questions I had. She added riders that would protect me in case the sellers had any outstanding issues in addition to Covid riders in case something happened to me. This gave me peace of mind in signing the contract. Judy also gave me invaluable advice on what interest rates I should be expecting from my mortgage and I was able to secure one of the best rates on the market. Once my mortgage was in place, she coordinated with my mortgage broker, the seller, the seller’s attorney, the banker’s attorney, and the title company on the final closing date. Judy did all of that coordination and all I had to do was show up, sign, and pick up my keys. During the actual closing, she (and everyone else) showed up on time and we finished the entire closing in 45 minutes. She went through all of the paperwork with such precision and attention to detail that I truly felt blessed to have such an amazing lawyer work with me through this process. Overall, I definitely recommend Judy for anyone who needs help with any real estate law cases. Based on this experience, I’m sure she is just as amazing in all of her other law cases as well (criminal defense, commercial, business, etc.). I’ll definitely hire her for any legal issues I have in the future. Thank you so much Judy!

Judy S. Mock, Esq. is at the top of her game! She is knowledgeable, professional, efficient, responsive , has an eye for details and a tenacious advocate for her clients. Judy represented me when I purchased my home. As much as I was eager to close, Judy took the time to go through the contract and t...o explain the possible implications if the Seller did not agree to adjust certain terms. She warned me that I should be prepared to walk away. Having worked with Judy on other matters before, I trusted her judgment and had it come to that I would have walked away. Luckily, she was able to renegotiate the offending terms and the sale proceeded. Additionally, she caught a couple of miscalculations by the other parties and made sure that I received my refund in a timely fashion. Judy is the attorney that you want to have in your corner!

Judy is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She helped provide an exceptional customer experience with her attention to detail. Judy educated me that the home I was going to purchase was not a proper deal. It turned out to be an assignment of bid which would ultimately cause me trouble. I appre...ciate Judy in explaining to me not only the details of a closing process but also certain risks that I would be exposed to so that I could make a well informed decision.

My fiancé and I were excited to find a seemingly perfect condo in a new building and were thrilled when our offer was accepting. However, it was our first time buying in New York and we knew we'd need help. I found Judy through a legal assistance program that's offered in my office and was thrilled t...o find that she was straight-forward and to the point after our first call. While we waited for the paperwork from the condo she was amazing at checking in and giving me updates and was able to work with my hectic schedule to get a meeting on the books; along with sending me all the paperwork so I was able to prepare questions in advance of our meeting. When we met she had done her due diligence and thoroughly gone through all the paperwork the Sponsor had sent over - finding out that no only had the Sponsor gone bankrupt, but he had several other buildings in Brooklyn with massive issues. Judy saved us from buying in to a poorly built, potential disaster. She did the background work needed to ensure that we were taken care of and making smart investments - its rare to find a lawyer who has your back like that! This sale obviously didn't pan out, but Judy will be the only lawyer we use for any upcoming purchases!
