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.

Very Impressive

During the last few years, our company has used Nema Daghbandan at Geraci Law Firm exclusively and he has played an integral role in our success. 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!

Excellent Attorney for Har Money Loans

I have been working with Nema over the past six years. He has proven to be a valuable resource for our business. He has excellent knowledge of real estate law and private money lending. He has stayed current on the overwhelming number of new laws that are constantly bombarding our industry AND ...has been able to provide us with solutions that allow us to continue to make money and remain compliant. I also feel compelled to include Nema's customer service. He is reliable, meets our tight timelines (time kills deals -- right), and is diligent in his research. We have had several situations where we were in a pinch and either needed a document, or needed an attorney to review an agreement quickly and Nema has always taken care of us. I gave him 5 stars -- and stand behind it. He has been integral part of the growth and continued success of our company.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
