Great Framework

Michael helped us buy our first home. As a first time homebuyer, we had a lot of questions that needed answering. Michael sent us a great information package in his introductory e-mail, and that answered all our questions. He gave us a written timeline for the transaction, and what needed doing befor...e which date. These instructions made sure that we were on right track, leaving very little room for ambiguity. He was available at all times, and provided excellent representation for our part. I would definitely recommend Michael, and I will use Michael's services in future transactions!

Excellent Representation

Michael represented us both for the purchase and sale of our condo and provided outstanding service both times. He was consistently professional, knowledgeable and responsive when we had questions or concerns. I highly recommend working with him.

Real estate closing

Michael represented me in a recent real estate closing and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. In the past, I've had attorneys offer me "full" services only to learn that they were looking to pad the bill with unnecessary conversations and tactics. Mike was professional throughout, he offered... an early pay discount, proactively met all of my needs and was willing to work at my pace - both before and during the closing. I felt like I was in competent and trustworthy hands the entire time and Michael will be my go-to for real estate representation in the future.

Excellent Service

Hello to you, Thank you again for all of your hard work, support and most of all your due diligence in making me one of the happiest new home owners. Your knowledge and professionalism has made this process much easier for me and I am glad that you were a part of my team. Thank you tremendously.... -Renee

Great person to have at closing

We have worked with Mike twice: as a seller, and because we liked that experience so much, as a buyer as well. He is an excellent lawyer, very quick and prompt to respond, and very accessible. He is polite, helpful and very much on your side during contentious situations. We worked with him to buy... a foreclosed home, and Mike gave us as much peace of mind as was possible, while we negotiated with investors that owned that property. Suffice it to say that we successfully closed on our new home. My wife and I will continue to work with him in the future, as well as recommend him to family and friends.
