Shaheen Law Firm handled the property closing on the recent sale of my home. Kristan M. Pettiford,…read morean Associate with the firm, and Robin Perry, a Paralegal, both contributed to a smooth closing. Ms. Perry was my main point of contact from the beginning. She was consistently responsive to my questions, and she made everything easy to understand. Ms. Perry was also considerate of my needs, going the extra mile. When I requested documents to be sent to me for review prior to the upcoming closing appointment the next day, I received them right away, in spite of the fact that it was a holiday. I was very appreciative of this consideration. I struggle with legalese, and thanks to Ms. Perry, I was prepared to sign the documents at our meeting without taking gobs of time sifting through them. Ms. Pettiford, who managed the closing appointment was gracious as well as efficient. The professionalism of these two ladies, Kristan M. Pettiford and Robin Perry, helped to make the closing process a smooth one, devoid of excessive anxiety. Both were professional and courteous throughout. Customer service from start to finish at this firm was excellent. I recommend Shaheen Law Firm most highly for help with your real estate needs.

Mr. Goldstein guided us through the confusion, anger and sadness with courage and empathy. "Chip" had to rearrange his schedule during Christmas due to an "ex parte" deal where the opposing attorney called for an "emergency hearing" while all offices were closed during Christmas. Chip was on the phone with us immediately which is unheard of during the holidays! He never flinched. There were so many ridiculous charades played by this young criminal lawyer but Chip was always available and READY. I can't say enough about Mr. Goldstein for he literally is worth more than all other attorneys combined! Do yourself a favor and pay the consult fee if you want out of the drama of courts for Chip will get you back to peace.

My husband and I used Mr. Gordon to sell a property that was gifted to us after a death in the…read morefamily. We spent 6 months trying to get this settled before finally firing him. We would call all the time for updates and could never get an answer. My husband would call just before going in to his office, no answer, yet he is sitting at his desk playing solitaire. This happened multiple times. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. I would call from different numbers just to get an answer. I would ask where we are in the process and he would make stuff up that didn't make sense and then say he would call and never would. He gave us date after date to when the process would come to a close, and time after time we would spend 2 or 3 days after that date trying to get ahold of him just to hear that it wasn't done. Meanwhile, we have a buyer that we're stringing along because Mr. Gordon can't get his stuff together and were paying $1200 each month on the mortgage while we wait for Mr. Gordon to finally finish this. Finally the day I fired him, 2 days after thee day he said we would sign papers, I asked him what was the hold up and questioned what he said because he wasn't making sense, was giving me mumbo-jumbo lawyer talk so I couldn't understand what was going on, he says he isn't in the mood to argue about it and hangs up on me. This is 6 months of waiting and calling and trying to keep our buyer on the hook and paying the monthly mortgage and living paycheck to paycheck because of it, all for nothing The real kicker is that because we didn't sign a contract with Mr. Gordon, there isn't anything we can do about his laziness and failure to act like a real lawyer that is trying to get things done for his client. What a snake. In the beginning I worried we would be bothering him by calling and showing up at his office, but we could never reach him so we had no other choice if we wanted to know what was going on with the process. I have never had a more devastating and terrible experience with someone I was paying for services. Never. Now we are back to square one in the process, our buyer will most likely drop out because we are starting over, we have to continue to pay this mortgage for every month that our next lawyer takes to make this happen , not to mention to get another buyer if ours drops out, and that is assuming Mr. Gordon had done literally anything at all in the process over the last 6 months because there has never been any proof, only what he says when you call for 3 days and finally show up at his office for an answer. Not only that, but part of the process we did ourselves after he told us what was supposedly holding him up, and we decided to do it ourselves which took less than a day. I am furious. I hope nobody else every has to go through this.

I purchased a property in February 2025 and was referred to this law firm by my real estate agent…read moreto handle the closing. By the end of February 2026 -- a full year later -- I still never received any physical closing documents from this firm.Looking at the tax card on the county website it still shows the builder as the owner. After closing, they only sent me a perfunctory set of digital documents via email, which contained serious issues: 1. The electronic signatures were not my actual signatures and did not match my real signature at all.I wanted to be at the law firm in person to sign the documents; after all, real estate transactions are not small matters, and I really didn't feel safe if I didn't even know where their office was located. 2. In the documents, each page requires both the buyer's signature and the seller's signature. However, signatures from both parties are missing on every page--either the seller's signature is missing, or the buyer's signature is missing., making the documents incomplete. Over the past year, I repeatedly followed up through my agent, but the issues were never resolved. Worse still, this law firm failed to record the deed and ownership with the county government in a timely manner. As a result, the property is still legally under the previous owner's name today. I have never received a tax bill for this property, and the county tax office confirmed there is no tax record under my name for this address. The firm's excuse was that Pasquotank County government is too slow. However, facts prove this is not true. I purchased a second property in the exact same neighborhood, same county, and processed by the exact same government office just one month later in same year. That closing was handled by Thomas Law Firm, who was professional, responsive, and responsible. They provided me with a complete, organized physical folder with all closing documents, properly recorded the deed promptly Approximately 50 -60 pages of documents, and I received my tax bill on time and paid it without issue. If the county was truly the cause of the year-long delay, the second property should have been delayed as well. The huge difference in service proves the problem was the law firm's failure to perform its basic duties, not the county. I am deeply concerned about potential late fees, penalties, or legal issues caused by this ongoing negligence. I have formally stated in writing that any fines or liabilities resulting from the firm's inaction and failure to fulfill its responsibilities as closing attorneys must be borne by the law firm, not me.
