Wouldn't recommend for clients seeking first time counsel

We had a unique scenario regarding new construction. Alan was responsive at first, but eventually we felt like we were receiving the tail end of his attention span. He did not review documents before reaching out to talk to us, which ultimately cost us more money while we had to re-explain the situat...ion we had already sent via email. He was helpful with contract drafting and revising, but we did not feel the support we had hoped for in this difficult and stressful scenario. We were also not given monthly invoices and were not aware of where our retainer funds stood against time billed. We were not made aware when we had exceeded our retainer and eventually received a bill that showed we had accrued double the cost. If you're seeking first-time legal counsel, do not have endless excess money to spend, and your situation is not cut and dry, I would seek counsel elsewhere.

This is the first negative review I have ever received on Avvo and I believe anyone reading the review above should read my response to it below. We spent countless hours with this client in helping her navigate a difficult real estate transaction. We originally was introduced to this client by this client's family member who represented this client as her realtor during this real estate transaction. Time and time again, we advised this client not to complete this real estate transaction due to the extensive seller fraud discovered prior to closing. Ultimately, this client purchased the real estate against our advice and that of her family member. Even worse, in the end, the seller only agreed to sell the real estate to this client if her family member did not receive the realtor commission due and owing to her for this real estate transaction. Simply stated, this client placed her interest ahead of a family member who worked very hard for her. --Alan Nochumson, Esquire

Review - Alan Nochumson

I was a first time homebuyer and decided to contact Alan after reading some of his reviews. Alan was extremely helpful in reviewing all of the contracts and legal documents involved. He translated "lawyer speak" within the various documents into relatable terms that I could understand. He also looked... out for my best interests throughout the entire transaction. I ran into a bit of a snag during closing, and Alan recommended a solution that kept me protected as well as made things easier for the seller. Would definitely recommend Alan for real estate legal needs!

Excellent Attorney - Real estate purchase

In purchasing a condo, Alan guided me through the entire process. He helped me structure an negotiate my offer so that my deposit would be protected. He reviewed my condo documents and explained the most important parts. He thoroughly reviewed my settlement statement to make sure that all the fees... and charges were legitimate. Finally, he attended the closing with me to make sure my interests were protected. Throughout the entire transaction, Alan promptly responded to any questions I had, which i found valuable. I definitely would recommend him to a prospective real estate purchaser who is not familiar with the process and needs an experienced real estate attorney to guide them.

If I could only recommend one person during my home buying process, it would be Alan.

As a first time home buyer Alan made me feel protected, informed and as relaxed as a person can possibly be during such a complex and emotional process. He was the most prompt of our home buying team and made closing feel like a breeze. Alan walked us through our entire closing, breaking down every p...age so I really walked away knowing what I was signing. I couldn't recommend him enough. Worth every penny.

Highly recommended

Alan Nochumson helped my company several times. He helped us get out of a commercial lease with an underhanded landlord and negotiate the commercial lease at a new property. He was instrumental in getting us what we wanted for the price and length of the lease, the terms and conditions, as well as th...e provisions in building out the space. I would highly recommend Alan Nochumson of Nochumson P.C. for any business legal matter.
