My wife and I hired Jamie Tarich to do the closing for a house we were selling in Margate. The paralegal who did all the actual work was both friendly and professional. However, there were both errors and omissions on the closing statement. Initially, we discovered a $5600 error which the paralegal corrected and blamed the new computer program they just started using. Several days after the closing we received a letter stating we owed almost $2500 more and if we didn’t pay it soon they would start collection proceedings against us. Even after paying the total amount deposited in my account was less than the final amount from the revised closing statement. I called and spoke to Jamie Tarich but his only explanation was to, once again, blame the computer program. I learned at the last minute, just before we had the closing, that the buyer of our house worked as an attorney at this firm. Conflict of interest? I wouldn't consider using this firm ever again and would not recommend it to anyone else..
hired him to do handle something for me. was quite impressed. gona be referring him to everyone i know.

Response from Jamie TarichMay 9, 2019
Frank copy / pasted his same review on this site, Google and Yelp. This is what I wrote in response on Yelp, and the same applies here. Frank did not "hire us" (first hint that the remainder of what he says is a lie); instead, we were working on behalf of the buyer, who is an associate of our firm. In his review, he forgot to mention that (1) he STOLE the washer and dryer from the house (it was actually loaded onto his car when the buyers realized they were missing) and his was upset that he had to give a credit to the buyer for the stolen appliances; and (2) the error, which we agree was unfortunate, was due to a software update, and was confirmed by his realtor as an error. Frank didn't want to pay money that he owed and threatened to write negative reviews if we did not "eat" the several thousand dollars that were his obligation. So, here we are. Though we apologized for the error and feel bad that Frank was not happy, we refused to be extorted by him. We advocate for our clients with same vigor, as he saw when he stole the washer and dryer from the house and was compelled to give the buyer a credit, even though we knew Frank would spread lies all over the internet about our firm.
