Best attorney representation one could ever have

During the closing process for our new home, the bank we dealt with on several occasion delayed the closing process by not completing the documents in a timely manner. This caused our closing to be postponed twice. Our lawyer stepped in and took charge by speaking to the bank processors letting them ...know that their business ethics was not acceptable, she went to battle for us and got the process completed. Now we are in our beautiful home thanks to our fearless and brilliant lawyer. We are eternally grateful and will recommend her to everyone we know. Thanks Liza.

Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure working with Liza Smoker. She represented my company in a commercial Lease negotiation. It was a pleasure working with Ms. Smoker. She did a great job throughout the entire negotiation process. She is competent, professional, and responsive to her clients.

Wonderful experience

As an inexperienced homeowner who was closing on my first real estate transaction, Liza walked me through the process explaining everything and anything so I knew exactly what was happening at all times. No matter how simple the question, Liza was happy to help and answer! She was incredibly responsi...ve and easy to get ahold of, and so very pleasant to work with. I would recommend her to family, friends, and anyone! I can't say enough about how easy she made this process and how nice and responsive she was to work with!

Excellent!

My husband and I are both lawyers, but we retained Liza to handle the purchase of our first house. Liza and her team were responsive, understanding, always a step ahead, and managed the closing (and our nerves) with ease. Liza always listened to our concerns, discussed best/worst-case scenarios, ex...plained how specific decisions would impact the broader transaction, proposed creative solutions, and worked efficiently without sacrificing quality. Exceptional service in all respects.

Great Attorney, Responsive and Professional

I used Liza for a real estate closing and she was amazing from start to finish. She was extremely responsive and answered all my questions as a first time homebuyer. There is no one I would rather use should I need another real estate transaction in the future. Thanks Liza!!!

  • 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.
