This is my first review on Yelp. I feel compelled to write it because it was due to other positive reviews on Yelp that I decided to go with Judy and her team for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home, and couldn't be more pleased with that decision. I have used other real estate attorneys with disappointing results - impersonal service, slow response times, and questions left unanswered. When huge sales and purchases are on the line, you want the confidence and clarity that comes with experienced and concerned professionals. Judy's team (including Katie, Mary, and the rest) are standouts in this regard.
First and perhaps foremost, they are exceptionally responsive. During the time crunch of the attorney review period, when minutes seem like hours, and hours seem like days, I never had to wait long for answers to my questions and input on my concerns. When my wife - with infant daughter in tow - had to be present to sign some documents, Katie came all the way to my office to meet up with us to make logistics more convenient for us (extra points to Katie for being sweet to my crazy munchkin). When our condo buyers started nitpicking inspection items at closing, she calmly resolved the situation (and my escalating frustration) to get the job done.
Judy attended the closing of our new house, and despite feeling under the weather, did not miss a beat - poise she probably picked up during her days as a litigator. She patiently walked us through all of the documentation, answered our questions, and gave us tips about what to expect during and after close. Throughout the two hour close, I felt at ease; that Judy knew her stuff, that the i's were being dotted and the t's were being crossed, and that I was walking away with the keys to my new home. Anyone who has ever been through the home buying process knows the value of that comfort.
Case in point: money very well spent. read more
