A valuable personal attorney who can handle many legal issues, with a major emphasis on real estate transactions.

Gayle Kalmin is an outstanding solo practitioner who has multiple forms of legal expertise. She handled the recent sale of our condominium from beginning to end, starting with important modifications of the real estate agency contract which are not friendly to the seller. Her advice throughout the ne...gotiating phase was invaluable, and the end phase calculations and details were expertly handled. Communication was both constant and very personal throughout the entire process.

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.

Mr.

Gayle is a true professional. She does whatever is needed to get our home sold or bought at the best price and on time. I would definitely use her again.

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.

Professional and timely

We were buying our first home and we had so much trouble before we came to Gayle. We couldn't be more happy with her. You want an attorney who you feel is really on your side and is trying to get the best for you and for us, Gayle was all that and more. She was always prompt in her replies, and clear... in her explanations. We never felt like we were out of the loop. She also never makes you feel like you asked a foolish question. We absolute recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.
