Colette M Kostelec

For over two years, I struggled with a previous attorney who didn't return phone calls or emails, misspelled names, mixed up information, and failed to meet deadlines. If that wasn't frustrating enough, during this same two years, three different planners were assigned to the matter at hand, a short ...plat application, and each time, my application seemed to fall between the cracks or behind the desk. Finally, I asked someone experienced with such matters who she would recommend, and she said, without hesitation, Colette M. Kostelec. Life changed overnight. Colette took the case in January, obtaining records from the previous attorney seamlessly. Then, day after day, week after week, she responded to phone calls and emails immediately. She reviewed complex documents such as survey detail and County regulations and codes, catching minute issues that could have caused disaster. She negotiated between the county, the state, family members, the survey company, financial institutions, and the many other entities involved in this matter, never once missing a deadline or alienating anyone. Through all of this, her mediation training showed because she always remained on task rather than become side-tracked into emotions or irrelevant issues. She's a superb listener. Her billing is fair. She is detailed oriented. She is brilliant. Because of Colette, in one year, I now own my home and property! I'm even on cordial terms with neighbors and family members. If you have a real estate matter, she is the person you want on your team.
