Awesome choice

I'm a first time home buyer and Michelle Messina's office was recommended by my Real estate agent. And thank God she helped us with this as I had no idea how much work goes into a closing for a home. Michelle and her team helped us step by step and was very informative and patient with us. They expla...ined everything and was on our side the whole time. They set up our contracts and had everything we needed to be done in a timely manner. They also were in contact with us as soon as an issue arises or saw an issue that would potentially arise. I highly recommend Michelle Messina for all your home contract needs.

Too busy

In my opinion, Michele Messina is tenacious, incredibly intelligent, and professional. However, I personally can't recommend her services based on my personal experience nor have her represent me in the future. Ms. Messina gave a presentation at my first-time home buyers class and was very impres...sive. I hired her and it seems to me that she gets a lot of first-time home buyers this way. I imagine that most of those deals are pretty easy, but it seems to me that she has too many clients to devote a lot of time to some of the more difficult cases, which was mine. I rarely felt like my case was a priority. I felt like I needed to call them every day to get some movement and/or information about my case, especially when we were getting into contract and then trying to get my deposit back, which was a total nightmare for me. The deal fell through and I didn't get my money back for over a year. As this was a large sum of money for me, it was disappointing and often frustrating. However, I also recognize that she knows her stuff and works hard to protect her clients, despite any difficulties.

Advocate Extraordinaire

Michelle Messina is a shark. She will fight for everything that you need and deserve. When there is a problem, she does not back down or waiver. It does not matter how long she has to battle; she does it. If I ever have to move again, there is only one lawyer I would use: Michelle Messina.

Fantastic Attorney - A+++

We used Michele Messina in 2008 for our sale and purchase. She did an outstanding job. We just used her again for a sale and purchase and we cannot say enough about her. She is the most educated and knowledgeable Real Estate Attorney out there. She is extremely thorough and makes her clients best int...erests her priority. She is the attorney you want on your side of the table, hands down!

Wonderful Attorney

What a big help Michele Messina was in my case. I had another attorney and he completely screwed up my short sale and almost lost my buyers. I was then referred to Michele by my realtor who got a handle on my case and saved this deal from falling apart. She got my short sale approved by my lender a...nd we were able to close on my house. Michele and her staff were very caring with me and my situation. Big thanks to her for all her help.
