Made the Home Buying Process Great

I hired Dorit to represent me during the purchase of my first home. She was a dream to work with. She promptly and accurately responded to all inquiries and I sure did have plenty. Having never gone through the process before I had a litany of questions about everything. On top of that all documents ...were addressed and processed promptly. We went from "offer" to "closed" in ~30 days! I'm typically not a stressful person, but during the process I found a million different things to worry about. As soon as I would find a new thing to worry about I would email/call Dorit and she would explain everything, and all was well. I don't plan on buying a new home any time soon, but I know that when I do I won't hesitate to hire Dorit again.

Great lawyer — great person

Dorit helped me to register my photography/documentary business, and she made several custom, easy-on-the-eyes contracts with my specifications. She is a friendly, knowledgeable, and creative person and it shows in her work.

A lawyer who loves her job

Very professional and attention to detail personality. She asked all the right questions and more, then found right solutions accordingly. She took the weight from our shoulders.

Problem solved

My experience with Dorit was excellent ! I’ve consulted with her about construction company I’ve had an issue with. Dorit very throughly walked me through legal steps, advised me on what I should do to solve issues and game advise on what to do in case promblem is not solved. She was willing to write... legal letter to construction co and take it to court if needed. I followed her advise and problem was solved!! Dorit was very professional , she knows her stuff and she put me at ease. I highly recommend her services

Someone we'll not refer to our business competition

This transaction went through without seller being officially represented by a real estate agent and inspection on the property was severely impaired by fully loaded rooms. The buyer's real estate agent doesn't have too much experience. The loan underwriter asked our W2s repeatedly. The title age...nt presented documents with error in names even in the last day. The closing was bumpy but we have to value our attorney of top excellence to weather through all challenges.

Family lawyer | Jan 26

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked as opposing counsel on multiple prenuptual agreements with Ms. Goikhman. She does good work. While I would have liked some different terms in at least one of the agreements, the terms she put in made sense and were in for good reasons. Further, her communications with me were always accurate, on point, and direct. When I refer out prenuptual agreements, she is the first number I provide."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
