Excellent, Prepared, and Knowledgeable Professional!

Renee was my attorney for the closing process on my first time home purchase in Des Plaines, IL. She assisted me in an initial contract that eventually fell through due to disagreements with the sellers on the contract. She helped resolve the process and ensured our finances safe and a clean withdraw...al. More importantly she helped us close on our actual home! Was very cordial in all her phone calls, and made sure the other attorney, and agents were all organized and prepared. She was on-top of her paperwork, and very good at understanding and conveying the documentation in lay-man's terms! She was definitely nice to have next to me at the closing table, ensuring success and that nothing negative happened to us! I would definitely recommend her to any future home-buyers looking to hire an experienced attorney that gets the job done, with no loose ends, and always has your back!

the BEST

I live and work in Los Angeles and purchased a property in Chicago. Renee was on top of every detail and made it possible for me to have a seamless close from 2,000 miles away. She's simply the BEST!

Renee review

We can't say enough about Renee Kalman. She is very knowledgable and we trusted her from the outset. Just as important was her accessibility. She helped us with a purchase and a sale and we were in constant contact. If we had to leave a message for a call back, she usually got back to us in 15 mi...nutes or less. I highly recommend Renee to help you with your Real Estate legal needs.

Wonderful Attorney for real estate transactions, i recommend.

Mrs. Kalman made the process of buying our home very easy and took care of our interests when there was a property line dispute between what showed up in the survey and the contract. Despite the difficulties, she was able to work a bit of magic for me and my family, we owe her our gratitude.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
