Hands down the best real estate attorney I've seen in action on either side of the table.

When I sold my property, Gayle helped advise on which of the Buyer's requests for more time were reasonable, and which were excessive. She helped me identify which representations were needed. She greatly protected my interests during attorney review, using diplomatic but unyielding language. She... created effective language during the negotiation of requested sellers' credits. Out of everyone in the process, she lead the way on clarifying all of the updates to the new real estate regulations; she also comprehensively researched obscure provisions on the fly, under deadline. And she went above-and-beyond in creating a solution that worked for all stakeholders when some of my contractors did not provide a lien of waiver. Hands down the best real estate attorney I've seen in action on either side of the table. Whether you're seeking a hired gun, or someone capable of handholding with an empowering bedside manner; Gayle can do it all.

Just Closed

Gayle represented me during my first home purchase. There was a lot I did not know going into such a major transaction. Gale made it a simple and seamless process. Gayle represented me diligently from offer to closing, and did so with a sense of humor. Whenever I was unsure of how something worked sh...e was happy to take the time to explain it to me. Even when the lender made a mistake and closing had to be pushed back, she assured me this was not a fatal blow and nothing we could not handle. Buying your first house is stressful. If you want a lawyer that will make the process a little less stressful I would highly recommend Gayle.

Experienced real estate & personal injury attorney

Gayle is very experienced in real estate and real estate litigation. As well personal injury. There are not many real estate attorneys that litigate and she is the best! I have used her for 15 years

A gifted professional who will save you money and represent you well!

Gayle was our real estate lawyer and receives very high marks from me for her professionalism; responsiveness, and understanding of the key components to successfully negotiate a deal closing. Our million plus dollar deal involved significant back and forth negotiations with the sellers attorney and ...my wife and I felt very confident that we had the best attorney working in our camp and assuring us the best possible closing price. Her upfront and straight forward approach were refreshing and she explained all the nuances of our rather complex transaction all along the way. In the end, her negotiating expertise saved us thousands of dollars on the closing price. She is worth every penny and I highly recommend her to anyone needing an excellent property attorney. -RB (Lincoln Park)
