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

Alan and his team are very effective and knowledgeable at what they do. They handle all of our zoning needs with different neighborhoods and have done very well.

Top notch Philly RE attorney!

Alan represented me in a number of cases and has always been my go-to attorney to bounce questions off of before going through a transaction. He is also honest in that he helps to determine whether there are more cost effective options available to me before hiring him. He keeps me informed through...out the proceedings and is definitely an attorney you want on your side. When it comes to real estate matters and getting through the Philadelphia court system to rule in your favor, Alan's experience is second to none.

Hi Alan - Thanks so much for you assistance on clearly up an on-going abatement snag that we were having with the City of Philadelphia! Between the Philadelphia Tax Department and OPA I was beginning to lose hope; however, you stepped in and explained exactly what I needed to do in order to push ...the abatement for a new home on Boyer Street through the final stages for approval from the City.
