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.

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!

Michele Messina is outstanding !

Recently my husband passed away and within months I needed to make a lot of life changes. One of which was selling my home as soon as possible. Ms. Messina and her wonderful staff lead me through the entire process from contracts to closing, as hard as it was to sell my home and while still grievi...ng my husband, I didn't have to worry and follow up and stress about the sale of my home. Whenever I called the office the staff was efficient and friendly and all the girls in the office were up to speed on what was happening with my file. Ms. Messina and her office made this so easy for me and I am very appreciative of all their hard work. I would recommend Michele Messina and I would definately use Ms. Messina for any legal issues in the future. She was outstanding!
