First-time home buyers

Michael came highly recommended from our real estate agent and we couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help guide us thru the purchasing process for the first time. What we originally thought was going to be a cut and dry purchase turned out to be double the work after our first condo failed i...ts inspection. Michael got us out of the contract with no problems and then performed all services a second time once we found a new condo --- at no additional cost. On signing day he made sure I understood every element of the 100 or so things to which I signed my name which was much appreciated as I've had zero interaction with lawyers & law to date. Once closed and happy in our new home my wife & I were pleasantly surprised Michael donates $50 of our fee to the charity of our choice - very cool. All in all, great guy and super helpful. Hire him!

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!

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.

Real Estate Sale

I just closed on the sale of my town home, which took about 3 months due to mortgage difficulties. Michael was outstanding in providing guidance and quickly reviewing and updating any documents that would expedite the matter. He kept me informed on all developments and was available when I called, ...or received prompt call backs. I would definitely use Michael on my next transaction and highly recommend his services.
