Alan Nochumson

While in the middle of an enervating and stressful residential property sale, Alan was able to smooth things out. I’m happy to say that he didn’t just sit back and draft paperwork because he was involved with the entire process. He helped resolve a balance transfer issue and often consulted my wife a...nd me on confusing matters. Alan possess a great expertise and he was always able to assist in a professional and sincere manner. Thanks Alan.

I am a real estate agent and I have worked with many attorneys over the last 14 years. Alan and his partner in real estate Natalie are simply exceptional attorneys and are far and away the best real estate lawyers in the Philadelphia region. Over the last decade we have had the opportunity to have mu...tual clients with a myriad of real estate issues that required unraveling and wise council to in order to advance the interests of our clients. Our transactions have included: smoothing out a very tense end of lease return of security deposit dispute between tenants and their landlord (full security deposit refunded to tenant clients,) the sale of a Center City condominium where the condo association was in bankruptcy with multiple liens (deal closed,) a less than "friendly" sale of a personal residence involving feuding divorcing spouses -added attraction-one of the spouses relocated out of the county mid-transaction (again, deal closed.) Each and every transaction had a favorable and fair outcome for all parties involved. Both the practice of law and the practice of real estate are results oriented businesses. Without the consummation of the transaction nothing is achieved. Alan & Natalie understand the intricacies of the law as it pertains to real estate and they work to serve the best interests of their clients providing wise and practical council. Perhaps the greatest testament of my faith in their legal expertise is to share my own experience with their firm. I elected to retain them as my own personal legal council while renegotiating my home loan on my personal residence. They were instrumental in my negotiations with my lender and I credit them fully with the successful outcome.

My partner and I were first time home buyers and were deceived by the previous owners of our house. The previous owners completed a master bathroom renovation a few months before selling us the house. The bathroom renovation was performed without permits from the township and did not receive any insp...ections. The sellers deceivingly indicated in the sales contract that permits were obtained and the township deferred inspection. We also we had an inspection performed prior to purchasing the home that did not detect the defects. The bathroom construction defects allowed water from the bathtub to permeate through and leak out of the kitchen ceiling below it. This left the bathroom unusable and was going to cost $8,200 to re-mediate. So I filed a suit against the previous owners in Delaware County small claims court. I contacted Alan through a friend of mine that is a realtor in Center City. My realtor friend highly recommended Alan. Alan took the case and made short work of it. Alan was extremely knowledgeable of PA law, real estate law and court procedure. He was very professional, prompt, kind and managed expectations very well. Alan was very reasonable in his fees compared to some of the other attorneys I had contacted. All of this was important to my partner and I as we have never filed a law suit or been part of any sort of legal matter. Alan won our case for us and we collected $6200. We used the awarded judgement plus some of our own funds to redo the master bath and return it to a functional state. Alan also represented us a few months later in a bogus loan claim with a former acquaintance. The plaintiff's case was without merit and never made it to trial. Alan was ready and had a legal strategy that would have easily won our case. We are very pleased with Alan and he will be our first call if another legal matter should arise. I highly recommend Alan.

It has been a true pleasure working with Alan over the past number of months. After having been given Alan's name by numerous colleagues, I retained him to investigate a boundary issue at a development site I was working on. My deal flow picked up quickly, and before I knew it, Alan was helping me wi...th a partnership restructuring, a $1.65mm construction loan, a promissory note, an eviction, tax abatement work, a potential condo conversion and much more, simultaneously. For the vast majority of this time, Alan and I had not even met face to face. Despite that, I immediately felt like a valued and long-standing customer; Alan knows the intricacies of your deals, is accountable to his own timelines, is available when it matters (like the night before closings) and has a strong moral compass. Small business owners are always worrying that their employees or consultants aren't dotting their i's and crossing their t's. I don't have the concern with Alan.
