Excellent Attorney, Simply said.

As a real estate investor and licensed broker, I constantly use services from various attorneys based on their expertise. 3 months ago one of my clients encountered a problem acquiring a loan very close to the close of escrow. The owner of the property agreed to finance and carry the loan which req...uired all documentation to be drafted and processed on an expedited manner. I hired Nema Daghbandan to handle the transaction and I am glad I did. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever worked with in handling such transactions. Nema was a pleasure to work with, kept me informed throughout the transaction, handled all communications with the escrow, and didn't send me a bill for every minute a sought his advice. I strongly recommend Nema to anyone that requires attorney service in owner financing situations.

Excellent Private Lender Law Knowledge

Nema is a specialist in private lender law. As a private money loan broker, I have a continual need for guidance through the myriad of new regulations affecting our industry. Questions about compliance come up frequently, and I appreciate that when I call Nema, he almost always takes my call live. H...aving him as a consistent, reliable resource has been invaluable to our firm.

One of the Real "Good Guys"

I've personally dealt with dozens of attorneys over the past 10 years for various real estate and finance transactions. In that time I've come up with no more than a handful of attorneys that I truly trust to handle my matters appropriately, in a timely fashion, and at a reasonable cost. Nema and is ...firm are one of a select group that I feel comfortable leaving in charge of a matter and I know that I can count on him to take care of things in a way that will make sense to me and my business. In the past 12 months I've actually parted ways with other attorneys and given the business to Nema. It's difficult to find an attorney that you can confidently say always has your best interest in mind. I definitely feel that I've found one in Nema.

They don't come any better.

I am overly impressed by his knowledge of real estate law, his work ethic, and his ability to find solutions for my business. He has gone above and beyo...nd for me and for that I am very grateful. I have referred numerous colleagues to Nema, all of whom continue to use his services and speak very highly of him. Thank you Nema and Geraci Law Firm!
