Referred to Christopher by another Lawyer

I was referred to Christopher By my primary lawyer on a very specific legal mater of a Trust. Christopher actually picked up the phone when I called him. Christopher actually listened to my legal matter patiently and asked a few questions to clarify. He gave me good legal advice suggested what I m...ight do next and gave me options which is exactly what I was looking for. I would absolutely use Christopher again for timely, sound legal advice.

Comprehensive estate plan

Chris did an excellent job on our estate plan. He explained the process in simple terms and was available to answer questions along the way.

Above and beyond, Pulled off the impossible!

We hired Chris Nudo as our lawyer for our selling and buying a home process, as many know this process can be quite stressful and take very many different turns along the way, our case was no different, we definitely went for a roller coaster ride on this one. From the beginning Chris was there for u...s at any point in time, to call text or email with any questions and was very quick in his responses to ensure that we were well informed and in great hands, and up until closing day everything seemed to be going very smoothly. I say seemed to be because on closing day the roller coaster ride began. We were selling a home and buying a home at the same time and in order for us to put our down payment for the new home, the old home needed to sell first. So 9am Saturday morning was suppose to be the closing on the old home, (and 11am the closing on our new home) we had already signed all our papers for it so we didn't need to be present for the sale but Chris was there for us. Then the roller coaster began, the couple buying our house was from another state and their mortgage company was based there as well, they were suppose to send all the proper closing docs the previous night but somehow managed to forget to send them or they got lost in the process somewhere and nobody at that office was in yet, as they are in a different time zone and we couldn't get a hold of them, so the waiting began. Then when they finally opened, the buyers mortgage broker who was suppose to send the docs was gone out of the office on vacation so no one could get a hold of him to find out where the docs had gone, or how we could get them. This ensured that our closing on the new house was going to be affected and pushed back which also caused the people we were buying from, who were suppose to leave for Arizona that day, to be delayed in their efforts as well. We were also planning on moving all our stuff into the new house that day as we had to return the rental truck. It felt like the twilight zone, we didn't know what to do or what was going to happen next and there really wasn't anything we could do, accept wait. Chris proceeded to take us out to lunch and talk to us to try and relieve some of our stress and worry and ensure that he was going to do everything he could to make sure this sale and purchase happened and all the terrible "what ifs" that seemed so likely now weren't going to happen. We then proceeded to go and figure out what we were going to do with our truck full of all our stuff as it seemed the next possibility of us getting our house, at the very best, wasn't going to be until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest and Chris went to work. Chris stayed in contact with us over the next several hours keeping us updated on what was happened and being honest as to the most likely options and results but kept ensuring us that hes doing all he can. He worked from lunch until about 6pm tirelessly trying to make this happen for us even though at this point, being so late, it seemed impossible that it was going to happen that day. To our amazement we received a phone call from Chris around 530pm telling us to meet at the closing office and that the funds from the buyer of our house had finally come through and we have officially sold our old house and bought our new one. We were then able to get our keys for the new house that night! Between Chris, our real estate agent, and the people at the closing office (that Chris had persuaded to keep working even though it was far beyond time to go home) they somehow pulled off a miracle and made it happen for us. Chris Nudo went far above and beyond working tirelessly for us to pull off the impossible and ensure that we were able to get into our new home that Saturday! We are 100% sure that if we hadn't hired Chris we never would have gotten into our new home on that day and possibly the whole thing could have fallen apart.

Actually cares about you

Working with Chris on a recent home purchase was a great experience. He is knowledgeable and works to ensure you are represented well. He is available when you need him and will respond back quickly if you need to leave a message. The best thing is that I now use him for my business needs as well ...due to the great experience we had with him.
