Absolutely terrible experience! Used her and her staff for a real estate transaction and to handle ancillary probate of an Estate. Poor communications, tons of errors in billing and 10 months after hiring they still haven't completed notice to creditors for the estate. They seem confused when hand...ling probate of an estate and barely completed the closing of the real estate transaction in time before the real estate agreement nearly expired for the second time. If you are not a high dollar client then the paralegal there will be the only one you ever hear from and then you will be charged for each email or phone call.

I am so sorry that you had less that an excellent experience, which is what we strive for each and every time. If you could kindly reach out to our firm I would really appreciate the opportunity to speak to you personally so that I can understand what happened and learn from your experience.

Thank you Meredith Nagel!

Meredith and her team were very professional and extremely communicative throughout a challenging closing. They didn't stop at my home had title issues from previous and they worked quickly and swiftly to resolve and keep my closing on time! Thank you Meredith Nagel and team!

Clermont closing

I sold my house by owner and Meridith Nagel's office did the closing. From the first time I called everyone was extremely helpful and I could tell that right away they cared about helping me. I mostly communicated with Joni Story and she was incredible. I was informed of every step and she was very p...rompt when responding to my questions. She made this a great experience and I highly recommend using this office for real estate transactions.

Meredith's office has exceptional service

I used Meredith's office for title work and they were exceptional. I can't speak highly enough about Joni there. Every time I would email Joni she would get back to me almost immediately. There was a title issue that they worked out and followed through to get everything completed without fail. I ...even offered to pay them extra because of the amazing job they were doing and Joni told me not to worry about it because that is part of what they do when they do their title work! I will definitely use Meredith's office in the future for legal/real estate needs if need be , I would give Meredith and her team a ten out of ten if I could.
