Chicago Condo Closing

I hired Donald and his team to help with closing on a new condo in Chicago. There was a relocation company involved, so my closing was far more difficult than a standard closing. Donald's team had a lot of extra work negotiating since escrow was not allowed. One week after I closed, the city of Ch...icago bumped my property taxes by 587%. This was going to be a large added expense, but Donald used his relationships to get the sellers to cover their portion of the tax increase. I highly recommend Donald and his team! Response time to my questions were literally minutes or an hour at most. 1st class Customer Service!

We worked with the best!

We've worked with Don's group on three closing so far including a property tax dispute. With each project his team is always easy to contact, responds quickly and comes up with a solution to every issue (and there are always issues). My wife and I have done over 30 closings, both on the purchase and ...sell side, so we've worked with quite a few lawyers. Don brought a fresh new energy to the process. He keeps you informed each step of the way with a contagious optimism—I just wish we met him sooner.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
