Seller / Closing Attorney

I had the privilege of having had Michael during the closing process. I was out-of-state and had to rely Michael and his office / team for the document(s) collection and remote communication management with different stakeholders. Being remote, my initial thoughts before I selected Michael was - it'...s going to be a challenging, difficult process. But with just one introductory phone call between Michael and I, all those initial thoughts were gone. He made me feel comfortable with the process and made me confident about the smooth moving-forward steps. He assured me anytime I can reach out to him with have any questions or concerns or clarifications. In the past, I had worked with attorneys at professional level and at personal levels. Michael stood out as exceptional in the following three categories : (i) Contract Analysis Review - thorough, detailed along with legal expertise around the subject-matter; (2) Promptness in responding to emails and phone calls, and (3) Professional integrity - Assertiveness and toughness in seeking the best legal client representation for my interests during contract negotiation with the counter party. Michael's office made the closing so easy and on-time because of his legal expertise / experience along with streamlined office process management. I would not only hire Michael for any of my future legal needs but would highly recommend him for anyone needing legal representations in his line-of-work. Last, but not the least, my overall assessment after the engagement is: Michael is reliable, honest and up-front about the legal representation.

Successful eviction in less than 30 days without a court case

I hired Michael DeSantis to help me with evicting tenants who were almost 3 months behind on rent payments and had even stopped communicating with me. Through his creative communication and firm demeanor, Michael managed to not only get the tenants to communicate again, but convince them to vacate th...e apartment without even filing a court case. The whole process from signing the legal services retainer until the tenants moved out, took less than 30 days (it may have taken even less, if the rental agreement had not provided a 15 day response timeline which the tenants took advantage of). Throughout the process, Michael was very quick to respond to emails and we even had a couple of phone conversations to discuss options on how to proceed. I am very pleased with the services and help of Michael DeSantis and his paralegal assistant Nicole Great job Gardi & Haught in hiring such talented lawyer and paralegal.
