My wife and I used Bell & Shah for estate planning and had a great experience. They were very responsive, answered all of our questions, and completed everything in a timely manner. The signing and pickup process was easy, and the on-site notary services made things convenient. We will definitely use them again for future estate / trust planning needs. read more

Avni was my attorney for both buying a house and selling my condo. Neither transaction went perfectly smoothly: the seller of the house was a bit temperamental on certain points and the buyer of my condo wanted to get rid of the tenant (even though they had a few more months on the lease!). I got a bit frustrated with these surprises but Avni was cool and calm, even under pressure. It is really hard to find a lawyer who is smart, efficient, tough yet very tactful and considerate. I felt really fortunate to have Avni on my side. I highly recommend her! read more

I could not have more positive things to say about working with Stephanie Wolfson from Bell Law. She was extremely thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, and all around wonderful to work with. As a first time home buyer, she took the time to explain how things work, answering countless questions related to closing costs, mortgage payments, credits, you name it. She reviewed the contract, summarizing its key points and dates. She even reviewed my lease and mortgage closing costs. She was patient, not remotely pushy, and truly felt like she was in my corner helping to navigate the mountains of paperwork. Ultimately, my husband and I had second thoughts about moving forward with our home purchase. Stephanie explained all of our options and promptly terminated the contract upon our request. I will absolutely use Stephanie when we are ready to buy a home again. read more

I am a Realtor by profession. My go-to attorney for the past 23 years, was set to retire. My great friend, and also, colleague, recommended Jeremy. This time, I was the buyer. I was a bit concerned with a new attorney. My concerns were about his attention to detail, being tough without being obnoxious and overall, being as good as my previous attorney. I am elated to announce, that Jeremy and his staff were terrific and did not disappoint! I was very well represented. Jeremy's understanding of the market and experience in the real estate law industry, as well as knowing so many of the other attorneys, really benefited me. I will not hesitate to use Jeremy for myself, as well as my clients!! Thanks Jeremy:-) read more

When it comes to selecting a reliable real estate attorney to help you close your home purchase transaction quickly & accurately, Jeremy Bell is the man. Jeremy takes the time to carefully review each and every page of the purchase contract. He's available to respond to questions via email and phone always within the hour.

I do not recommend working with Avni Shah. Avni acted more like an administrative assistant than a seasoned real estate attorney, providing neither critical counsel nor contract review. Ms. Shah pushed standard forms without attention to my unique needs - and seemed bothered if I asked clarifying questions. Avni repeatedly threatened termination when challenged or when an error was questioned. She dropped the ball on a couple closing-related matters and then blamed other professionals for her oversight. Avni Shah's demeanor was not supportive and flamed heightened negotiations and frustration, rather than providing a helpful, calming presence. Avni Shah lacked tact and was undisciplined and unprofessional. read more

Adding to my previous review: My partner and I sold another building with them and shortly before that I closed on an investment property purchase.

I highly recommend them for all real estate transactions! read more

My husband and I first met Jeremy and his amazing team when we were going through the sale and purchase of my home. It was an emotional time, but Jeremy was a rock, providing solid and insightful guidance, negotiating with the other attorney, and keeping our interests at heart. The communication was straightforward, the pricing was fair, and the guidance was invaluable. As a result, we came back to Jeremy when we decided it was high time we addressed estate planning. In that transaction, too, Jeremy and his team excelled. He patiently answered our questions, helped us understand the ramifications of our decisions, and executed everything (will, trust, and POA) quickly and efficiently. Definitely recommended. read more

I've worked with Avni Shah at Bell Law as both a buyer and a seller. She and her team (shout out to Megan!) provided prompt and concise communication, and made everything very easy. Even when the other party in my transaction was causing problems, Avni fought hard for me to achieve the best outcome possible. I've referred friends to Avni as well, and they were thrilled with her knowledge and service. Buying or selling a home can be stressful. It's great to have a friendly & smart legal team to guide you through the process. read more

We wanted a local firm to assist with our home sale and new home purchase. Avni Shah went above and beyond at every stage of the process. She advocated for us, explained things to us, and made the stressful process of real estate buying and selling so much easier to complete. For me, communication is key, and Avni is always on top of it. From the signing, to the close, and even after, she's been there every step of the way making sure our interests were top priority. We would not only hire her again, but suggest that anyone needing superb real estate services start their search at Bell Law. Stellar support from Betsy Rodriguez as well, who kept the paperwork rolling and never missed a beat. read more

Jeremy Bell provided excellent service from the moment I submitted my offer on a multi-flat in Chicago through to final closing. Even with a flat fee structure, he always took the time to go over edits to documents and discuss questions with me throughout the process.

And he did a great job explaining all of the legal documents at closing, including the FHA specifics. Overall, a great experience working with Jeremy and the Bell Law practice. read more
