Wonderful repesentation in a difficult real estate transaction

Anne Mudd helped me survive a real estate purchase from hell. I bought a gut-rehab condo from a builder long before construction was final. I had sold my home, but as the closing date neared he announced that he would not finish on schedule. This, of course, meant cancelling movers, delaying utili...ty hook-ups, putting everything in storage and finding a short-term rental. It soon became apparent that there were myriad short-cuts taken in his work, and outright deception on some issues. Needless to say, this became a highly emotional and stressful situation. The closing was finally set for six days before Christmas -- not an ideal time to be moving. Anne helped me keep my sanity throughout this nightmare with her expert knowledge, practical advice and supportive attitude. She was even able to negotiate a refund for work that was not done as promised -- with the builder fighting tooth and nail until the very end at the closing. If I ever need a lawyer again, Anne is definitely the person I would hire and I recommend her without reservation.

Mediation lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer as a great mediator in the area of domestic relations. I have referred many satisfied client's to Anne for purposes of mediating disputes which makes their case more cost effective and efficient when a neutral party, such as Anne, can obtain an agreement from the parties"

Mediation lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As a lawyer, I try to steer my clients to work things out before heading to court. Anne is the person that works best at this. She has a way of relaxing the clients and gets them to keep their eye on the ball and not fight over everything. It takes good negotiation skills to get two warring spouses to the table to reach an agreement, but she seems to get it done every time. Highly recommended."
