Pastor

Cool, Calm and Collective, are words that describe ATTY Kamal. I used her as my real estate attorney buying a home. From the time I contacted her to to the end of closing, Atty Kamal was there by my side, giving instructions, explaining each phase of the loan process, talking to the sellers a...ttorney, communicating with my realtor We had an issue at the closing, where my bank was suppose to send my portion of funds to the closer via wire transfer, we get through signing a mountain of paperwork, where Atty Kamal walked me through each document and we get to the part where the closer go and check to see if my funds arrived in there account. The closer comes back into the room where the sellers people and my people are seating, and the closer announces “I don’t have your funds” Atty Kamal looks at me with a smile, just as calm as she was walking into the room when we started and begin to advise me on how to handle a bad situation, including talking to my bank representative on the phone, communicating with the closer and the seller’s people. Bottom line, I walked out of the closing with my keys!!!!!! I had an excellent attorney representing me.

Excellent Communicator

Shara knows her job and shows it with easy. She explained the process to me in a very simple way. Pleasant personality and genuinely happy for us and the end of our journey. I will definitely recommend and hire again.

I am more than pleased!!!!

I hired Shara as an attorney for the purchase of my first home. I am so happy with my decision to hire Shara. I couldn't have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable attorney. During our initial conversation Shara thoroughly explained the services that her fees would entail. We mostly communi...cated via email however her response times were always short. There were times when I would email her in the evening and expect a response in the morning but Shara would respond right away. Whenever there was an issue Shara handled it immediately. Understanding that I am a first time homebuyer, Shara was very informative during the closing and answered all of my questions related to and not related to my homebuying process. I am more than pleased with her services. Thank you!

Wonderful 1st Close Experience

Shara was so helpful through my first experience buying a home. She was very accessible via phone and email to answer any questions I had. She was extremely knowledgeable in the process and made the close process go very smoothly. Since it was my first time, I did not know what to expect and was plea...santly surprised when she told me we were done. I would highly recommend Shara for her services in closing your property. Thank you Shara!

Very Professional and flexible

Able to get our close scheduled and be flexible while dealing with an impossible seller's/attorney schedule. Explained all our documents as well as gave information about what we needed and where to go to have water transferred.
