If it wasn't for Anita we would have been unprotected legally when purchasing our home. They tried to make us do a "dry" close, after they add already given us the green light to close. Anita was wonderful, she had every document that had been submitted, called and spoken with the title company and ...others on our behalf. We ended up closing without putting any money down (VA) and walking away with a check for several thousands of dollars. We have continued to use Anita's services throughput the past thirteen years and tell everyone we know. She gives exceptional undivided attention, always prepared, pre-pared us for the process, stayed late (Title Co. closed), had every document we signed and requested of us. If you want a great attorney and a life time friend, business associate Anita Kontoh Scott is the person for you.

Patrick Schultz was awesome!

I worked with Patrick Schultz during my process of buying a new condo. He was very attentive, responsive, and helpful for the entire thing. Made signing documents very easy and would recommend him/the firm for anyone looking. Thank you so much!
