Katrina Thaler Medeiros

Katrina Thaler Medeiros is an amazing lawyer, and an incredible person. She was recommended to me by four people while trying to purchase my first home. I called around to many lawyers in Ithaca to get an idea of the standard representation charge. Katrina had a solid price. Most practices gave me a ...standard range of $725- $1300 "depending on what's needed for closing." I found that with most practices that I contacted I was not able to speak with the lawyers themselves. I spoke with Katrina two times on the phone before making a final decision. I choose Katrina feeling confident that I would be well represented, and I was. Katrina worked fast to ensure that all the basic purchase documents such as the survey, appraisal, and mortgage were correct. She worked for weeks answering my questions, and taking the time to explain everything that was going on currently, and what to expect in the future. It didn't matter if I emailed her or called she was friendly, and ready answers all my questions. The really amazing side of Katrina came out when it was just days before closing, and the seller was still out of the country, and looking to change the closing date. I had taken off work to be able to close and move that day, which was already days after our date in the contract. The seller then informed us that we could close on our the new set date, but would not be able to move out of the house for six days following. I was feeling very stressed as I listen to friends and coworkers horror stories about similar situations they had with this. Katrina handle the situation very well. She helped me feel calm and assured that everything would be fine, even though it was a bad situation for me. She put together an incredible contract to protect me. The house and myself were protected from any situations that could have arisen. Katrina was so personal, and understanding during the entire time from purchase to closing. I could not have had a better lawyer. I could not recommend any other lawyers. I was able to close on the set date, and move into my house with out any complications, because of Katrina's expertise. If you are looking for a lawyer to represent you in a residential real estate purchase purchase, than Katrina is who you want on your side. I am just glad that she was on my side!
