Excellent Service

I hired Miss Anderson's law firm for help with closing on my first home. From day one she sat me down and explained all the ramifications of the contract. Due to some constraints with the seller and the program that I chose, it took me almost two years to close (no fault of Miss Anderson). During ...this time Miss Anderson's team followed up with me and liaised with the seller attorney and program administration. Her office went above and beyond. She exercised extreme patience, I was impressed with her attention to detail, always making sure that the provisions were fair. I would not hesitate in recommending her services. If you are in need of a great lawyer then Greta Gainer Anderson should be an easy choice.

Competent and Caring Services

I was in need of a lawyer to handle the guardianship process for my elderly parent. I had no particular lawyer in mind until I remembered my cousin had just completed this same process for his mother and would be able to offer a recommendation. Even though Greta was located in Jamaica, NY and I live ...in the Bronx, on the strength of my cousin's recommendation and outcome I decided to give her a try. I am now at the conclusion of the guardianship process and must say that Greta made this rather complicated process very manageable and as stress-free as possible. Very timely execution of all phases of the process, professional and good with communicating and answering any questions as they arose. If you require this type of legal service you cannot go wrong with an attorney like Greta that is both competent and caring.

Greta Gainer-Anderson

Attorney Greta Gainer-Anderson managed my home purchase negotiations with integrity, excellence and professionalism. To no fault of our own, it took longer than expected to close; however, she embraced each challenge strategically and delivered a resolution in a timely fashion. Attorney Gainer-Ander...son is a gentle giant! She’s a powerhouse as it relates to insuring the best interest of her client while maintaining a composed approach to every task. She never wavered to insure that I closed with a fair and equitable deal. She is very knowledgeable of her field and passionate about her work.

I highly recommend Greta Gainer Anderson

I have known Mrs Anderson her entire legal career. She is a consummate professional. she has respresented me and my family, including my mother, on numerous legal matters involving real estate and estate planning transactions. For example, she represented me as executor to my father's estate in the s...ale of his home. There were some issues with title to the property. Mrs. Anderson walked me through the issues and kept me informed through every step. She is always prompt, courteous and quick to get back to you. Through the closing, I felt confident that she had everything under control. The closing went smoothly and was conducted with efficiency. She will go out of her way to meet the needs of her clients. For example, when my mother was hospitalized and needed some legal documents prepared for signature, Mrs. Anderson prepared and delivered those documents to my mother's hospital bed. Mrs. Anderson is an extremely capable and competent attorney. It is a pleasure to be represented by her.
