Stress-free Home Purchase

Michael made the purchase of our first home stress-free. Whenever issues arose, he remained calm, asked all the right questions, and resolved the situation. We feel that he was a very strong advocate for us, and we appreciate that he took the time to answer all of our questions and explain every step... of the process. At the closing table, he talked over every page with us so that we knew exactly what we were signing. We would recommend his services to anyone!

Extremely helpful with a tough close

We went through a tough closing where the financing fell through and there was a last minute cash offer that we had to compete with and Mike was on top of it the whole time. He was more than happy to answer our numerous questions and kept us informed through the whole process.

Competent, professional and engaged

We hired Michael to assist us in a property purchase at the recommendation of our real-estate agent. This was our second go-around for this type of transaction in the past 2 1/2 years. The attorney we worked with on the first purchase was nice enough as a person, but was extremely disorganized. G...iven that the transaction was the purchase of our first home, this did not inspire confidence, nor ease any of the anxiety that can sometimes be a part of making the largest purchase of your life to-date. In this case, while we were making a much smaller and simpler (but not as common) real-estate purchase, Michael displayed far more organization than our previous attorney. He also proactively provided us with information and options. While not all of this information was tailored specifically to us and was designed to benefit other clients as well, it obviously required that he generate the info up-front and work regularly to ensure that it was up to date. It surely allowed him to respond to us with useful information in a timely manner, which was of great benefit to us. That, combined with his completely professional demeanor and what seemed to be a genuine desire to help us do what was in our best interests made for a positive and relatively easy experience. Additionally, given that this was a _very_ small property purchase in terms of money, Michael did more work than I would have expected given the minor profit he stood to make for his services. Perhaps that, more so even than his personality led me to feel that he was someone I could trust not only with this transaction, but with potential future transactions as well.

Positive recommendation

I was buying my first investment property. Mike helped me navigate both a short sale transaction that fell through and an eventual condo purchase. Mike was very responsive to my many questions, always calm and knowledgeable.

A Great Attorney and a Great human being

Mr. Wasserman is a true professional. He is very knowledgeable, organized and very responsive to any questions I had. He kept me well informed throughout the process and helped me resolve a challenging matter in the negotiation which protected my best interest. In addition, Michael is donating part o...f his fee (which was quite resonable) to a charitable organization of my choosing. I would look no further when deciding on an attorney. I plan on being Michael's client for life.
