Home Sale

He was thorough and dealt with issues created by the title company. The issues required extra work and I was not charged extra.

Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure working with you and your wife, and if you should have any other legal issues that you would like assistance with, I would welcome your call. Jim

Great consult

Schottenstein was forthcoming with info on initial call. And he helped me sort through my options and confirmed my intuition, helping me frame my frustration in an action-oriented way Buyers scheduled closing then said the construction costs would exceed the bank's appraisal. Being the third exten...sion of the closing, the second one happening the day of closing, I was livid, but didn't know what recourse I actually had, and how I should respond. Schottenstein explained how the contract worked and what should have happened, and what he would do if he were me. He was also very open about whether he could help me out not.

Highly recommend

Jim Schottenstein is a knowledgable, trusted, reliable and responsive attorney. Need I say more? Could one possibly ask for more in an attorney? He has handled all legal matters associated with my small business since inception and through to the recent transfer of that business to a new owner. I kn...ow that I am a small client and yet I always felt that my needs were his top priority. And did I mention that he is personable? Yes, Jim Schottenstein is the whole package.

Eviction during Pandemic

On April 10 I was contacted by the management company that I rent my condo through to inform me that the owner of the condo wanted to sell the property and wanted me evicted in 30 days! I was devastated as I was laid off in March due to the COVID-19 and now I was being asked to leave my home and I ha...d just signed a new lease on March 1st for a year!!! I reached out to James Schottenstein for a consultation and hired him before the conversation was over! Mr. Schottenstein moved quickly to resolve the situation. He was very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls! I know I was not his only client, but he certainly made me feel like I was!! I would hope that no one needs the service of an attorney...but should you need help, I highly recommend James Schottenstein!!!!!

  • 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.
