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.

Closing, and refinance

Liza has been a life long friend and now and now a great source of help in many ways. We have used Liza for our closing of our house and when we refinanced recently. Liza and her team have made things seamless and has always made us feel confident and safe knowing that she is looking out for us. I wo...uld highly recommend.

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.

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.

Extremely comprehensive and attentive for clients needs.

I've hired Liza for two different occasions. One was business and it was an extremely stressful time for me and my partner. She calmed us down immediately with her knowledge and research. She instantly refereed to previous case studies/judge rulings and advised us the best way to not lose money or t...ime. She lead us in the perfect direction. We knew, without a doubt, when it came time to purchase our first home, Liza was our best ally. I had previously agreed to use sellers title company (wish I could have used Liza) and they didn't forward me the HUD until 8pm the night before the sechudled closing. Liza went above and beyond to review it within a 12 hour time frame and might I add it was over night(non office hours)! She got on the phone with us at 8am and talked over all her concerns in detail with us. She advised us every step of the way. She'll even attend the closing if the clients feel they need the extra support. She does everything from beginning to end with home purchases! Okay now is the kicker, the company that was meant to send out my deed (sellers title company) waited over 6 months to send it out and actually sent it to Liza's office instead of my residence. Thank goodness they did!! Liza didn't only forward me the documents, she actually reviewed the amendments that were agreed to be changed by seller and noticed that it wasn't changed properly. If the deed had been sent straight to me, I would have NEVER noticed! Liza emailed the seller title company straight away and requested they make the correction. I received an email from Liza once everything was already corrected. She saved me the unnecessary stress. Remember, I said this was over 6 months ago that I signed my closing papers!!! I wish I bought and sold more properties just so I had the opportunity to work with her more often. Thanks so much for all you've done for us! Great work is not cheap, and cheap work is not great! When it comes to law do not cheat yourself!

  • 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.
