Katrina Thaler Medeiros

Katrina helped me close on a foreclosed home which was a nightmare! Even at the day of closing they had these outrageous last minute demands and Katrina helped us work through every one of them! She is quick, persistent, and communicative which is everything you want in a lawyer when trying to buy a ...home. Simply amazing....highly, highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. She is the best in the area by far!!

Selling the house where I raised my children and that I called "home" for 30 years was an emotionally difficult prospect. My realtor suggested Katrina to handle the sale. I found Katrina to be sympathetic yet professional, and she facilitated a timely, smooth and successful closing, easing the proc...ess for me. Last year I again retained Katrina as attorney for the purchase of my condo. Again she facilitated an on time closing with no hitches, meeting a deadline I had so that I could arrange to occupy my new home as my apartment lease was up. Katrina has also been invaluable in my estate planning, advising me on the drawing up of my will, Health Care Proxy and POA. I had some difficult decisions to make. Katrina had a good grasp of the particular issues in my situation and presented my legal options pointing out the consequences of each so that I could make informed decisions. I am comfortable now that I have had excellent counsel and have done the best to insure my children's future. I am at peace that my wishes for myself will be carried out. Katrina is a real professional who listened to my needs and treated me as a person, not just a client.

Katrina is a fantastic attorney. She helped navigate us through the sale of an existing home and the acquisition of a new home. I'm in my dream home today in part because of her expertise. The process of juggling two real estate transactions at the same can be frustrating. Katrina helped marsh...al all communication and documents between the various parties. She communicated with us throughout the process--no matter the time of day. Email updates were helpful, especially when it came to keeping transactions on track. In our case, the buyer of our home proved to be difficult-- This did not phase Katrina. She held the line in our interest--especially when it came to coordinating closing dates and moving dates. Throughout this process, it was clear to me that Katrina really cared about my family. She even juggled dinner out one evening with her own family and kids to meet my husband and I at a local restaurant to go over crucial documents just prior to closing. I walked away that night--saying I want this woman to handle all my legal affairs from here on out. Period. She's that dedicated. I really cannot say enough about her professionalism and work ethic and cannot thank her enough.

Katrina helped us with the purchase and then the subsequent sale of our house in Ithaca. When things started to go wrong she stepped in and personaly got the deal back on track. I have had experience with many attorneys and Katrina is very special. She worked extra hard to represent us in the best p...ossible way. She is knowlegeable, professional and honest. We would highly recommend her for all your real estate representation.

Katrina represented my partner and I with the sale of our home, as well as the construction of our current home. With the sale of our home, the first set of buyers backed out of the deal a week before the closing. She kept us calm and took the time to explain our options. We had a trip planned... the same week that we put our house back on the market. My partner and I felt so confident in Katrina, we gave her power of attorney to negotiate for us if any offers should come in while we were away and not reachable via phone. Halfway through our vacation we received an email from Katrina to inform us that she had accepted a nearly full price offer and closing would be in 40 days (this was wonderful considering we now had 2 mortgages)!! Katrina also reviewed the contract to build our current home. She made modifications to the contract during attorney review that in the end really protected us! The day of the closing, the house was not absolutely complete, the driveway was not paved, the lawn was not seeded, and the carpet wasn't installed properly. Although the builder did not want to, Katina strongly negotiated a large sum of funds to be put into a escrow account (held at her office) until the work was done. When we walked out of the closing, I knew every measurement was taken to protect our investment. I even think she may have taught our real estate agent a few things as well! After the lawn was seeded and the driveway paved, Katrina gave us a call to make sure we were happy. I really felt like she cared and wasn't in it just for a check. Family members and friends have also used Katrina for real estate transactions, to do their wills and adoptions. Everyone that I have ever recommended her to has been extremely impressed and continue to recommend her as well. Katrina is honest, has high integrity, and excellent overall service. She truly goes the extra mile!! I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs!!
