Michael H Wasserman

Mike was referred to us by our realtor and I was heartened by looking on yelp to find so many positive reviews. After our closing, I am happy to add to them! We talked with several attorneys because as first time home buyers we were unsure what qualities to look for in a real estate attorney and ...we had gotten several recommendations from friends as well. Mike was not particularly verbose during our first interaction but extremely efficient and competent. Our experience with him was really seamless. He always sent very detailed and communicative e-mails with explicit instructions about what we needed to do. We had a seamless closing and really understood (as best we could) all the nuances of what went into the various transactions, including the Chicago-specific aspects of home buying in the city. What's more, after our closing, Mike let us know about a project he was starting in which he donated $50 of his fee from our transaction to a Chicago-based charity of our choice. I thought this was an incredible gesture and a great way to think of the communities we all live in at a time when we are buying homes in the city. I'm sure we'll be using Mike for all of our real estate home buying legal needs in the future and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone. Mike is calm, kind, efficient and competent. So look no further!

My husband and I have worked with Mike twice already in the transactions of our properties in Chicago. Mike has represented us, both, as sellers and as buyers, which has allowed us to see his strong and well-rounded skillset as a real-estate attorney. In addition to being very professional, Mike is a...lso personable, asks good questions, and, due to his extensive experience with the real-estate market in the greater Chicago area, he is very careful on every detail of the transaction. When you hire Mike, he makes it clear that he works for you and goes well-beyond to fulfill that commitment - he has your best interest at heart and will explain in lay terms the intimidating legal language of most offers and is always there should you need advice on how to navigate less-common contract terms. There isn't a whole lot more I can say about Mike other than I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real-estate transaction in the greater Chicago area - you will not be disappointed.

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!

We received excellent representation in Michael as the real estate attorney on our two-flat purchase. Incredibly prompt, professional, and detail-oriented, Michael was supportive every step of the way. This was our first-home buying experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better attorney to advo...cate for us and make for a smoother process. He kept us informed at every turn. We had an incredibly positive experience with Michael, and highly recommend him.
