Setting the example of what a Real Estate Attorney should be.

I've had the pleasure of being able to work with Justin and his team on several real estate transactions with mutual clients. Each interaction has been remarkable. The biggest complaint I receive from my clients about real estate attorneys is their lack of responsiveness. Justin and his team are q...uick to respond and always with appropriate and thoughtful answers. Keep up the great work!

Residential Real Estate

Justin has represented me in the selling of my house as well as the purchase of my new construction. The most important thing to me throughout a foreign process is communication and I want my representation to be knowledgeable in the areas that I am weak. Justin has surpassed this every step of the w...ay. For example, I was unaware that certain line items on a closing and buying processs can be negotiated. Without this knowledge I would never even think to ask to have a fee waived or a number negotiated down. Justin was able to put dollars in my pocket by being proactive in this regard. Very impressed with that as I haven't had a lawyer in the past be that proactive. In addition, the communication lines are always open with Justin. I never had to email twice to get an answer. Each person has their own experience based on what is important to them and my two biggest concerns were alleviated and with that I will continually use and refer Justin for my counsel matters.

Smart, honest and efficient attorney!

We used Justin for our estate plan and the experience was phenomenal. He patiently explained the entire process and clarified our options based on our goals, some of which we had known, and others that we didn’t realize were available to us. He worked with our financial advisor and accountant to ma...ke sure we were fully covered. We thought the flat fee pricing was so much better than other attorneys. There were no hidden costs or bills for emails or phone calls, everything was transparent. We highly recommend.
