Excellent service!!!

I found Michael through yelp and decided to go with him due to his amazing reviews. I am glad I did because not only did he make sure everything was taken care for my closing, but also was easily accessible when needed.

Easy To Work With And Always Accessible

Our experience was positive with no issues. Hubby and I were assigned to work with attorney John M. Aylesworth on our closing and he was thorough and responsive. He answered all of our questions, reviewed the documents and communicated everything to us in layman's terms. It was a great experience. P...lus, he's a nice guy. And that always matters to me. I highly recommend this firm.

My best recommendations

Mr. Wasserman was extremely helpful in the process of our new home purchase. He is very knowledgeable and exact on details that need to be accomplished. He is always easy to reach by e-mail or phone even for issues that are not directly related to a home contract. I highly recommend him as an Attorne...y for a home or condo. Thanks!

Responsive, Professional and Fun to work with!

We worked with Michael on our 1st home purchase and he was amazing! It is always stressful when you are making a large investment and he made it an absolute breeze. You feel like you are his only client at the time because his turnaround time is incredibly responsive and thorough. We had a very fast ...close (less than 30 days) and he was on it every step of the way. There is not a doubt in my mind that we will work with him again for our next home purchase. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again Michael!

New construction condo purchase Chicago

I worked with Michael for my recent new construction purchase.It was a delight from get go which helped me a lot since this was my first property purchase in USA! And thus i bombarded him with millions of ques and often long chats to understand the IL process. He was so thorough with the subject and ...even though some ques were unique he always had the response and patience in dealing with a new buyer like myself. The way he "owns" your case is amazing.Ex - at several instances post inspection he dealt with the seller's attorney in such a way it seemed like Michael was the buyer! Then again at closing the seller attorney was trying to push around the final punch list items they had to close.Michael asked them if they wanted to adjourn so seller could confirm acknowledgement of the final punchlist before I Closed the deal. At no stage did Michael drop the ball, due diligence etc. I will never go to anyone else besides Michael when it comes to real estate matters! And by the way...he was a reference to me. 2 of my friends had him as their attorney when they were buying and one of this friend has bought multiple properties and always had Michael represent him. That so aptly sums up what an amazing reference able attorney Michael is! Thank you Michael!
