Real Estate Lease problem solver

As a US Navy veteran living in Asia I was able to get help about a real estate lease problem I was dealing with in Philly. Gail Marcus was professional and trustworthy. There was clear communication as she was able to give me clear answers both over the phone and email. She answers in a timely manner... and was easy to work with.

Consulted Gail on Commercial Lease Post COVID

I consulted with Gail about a addendum to Commercial Lease during COVID shutting down my business. She was insightful and attentive in helping me make a decision on not signing my landlords additional clauses

Follow up from 2 months ago. I called Gail Marcus office because I had relocated and needed answers about signing over my property to my soon to be ex husband. Gail advised me to use a Quit Claim deed, I followed her advice and I am happy to say all went well I signed my ex filed and we was able to s...ettled this without any problems. I highly recommend Gail Marcus Real Estate Lawyer. I found her on the phone and when she spoke with me it was as if I was a client not just some asking questions. Thanks Gail I will refer you over and over again. You knowledge is priceless. Shirley

Knows her stuff!

If you're looking for someone to hone in on the issues and provide well informed solutions...this is the attorney for you. I called to inquire about a pending case (with another attorney) for my parents and Gail provided much needed CLARITY regarding the real estate (jointly owned) partition case. Wi...thout hesitation she looked up the case and asking several clear questions, she provided me with a better understanding of what was happening. I truly appreciated her time and assistance and would recommend 100%.

Probate lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Gail is one of the best communicators that I have ever worked with. I reached out to her to consult and collaborate on a complex probate estate and inheritance tax issue requiring local Pennsylvania counsel. From the first conversation, she got to the heart of the matter and immediately knew the next steps to take to unwind the client’s messy situation. Gail explains complicated concepts in a very straightforward manner. What was really remarkable to me was Gail’s curiosity that led her to uncover non-obvious solutions. I highly recommend and endorse Gail’s expertise in probate and estates, and real estate law. I would definitely work with her again!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
