    Great firm! Handled my case in a timely manner, as these things do take time. Attorney's are very…read moreinvolved with contacting clients. Alex and Jason answered any of my questions promptly with a call back or hit a random call to run down what was going on with the case. Hearing from a lawyer usually rarely happens but here they do call you. Natalie is the most pleasant paralegal I've ever dealt with and I work in this field. She was always on top of things and making sure to get back to me. Candace at the office is the another I like she's best paralegal there by far. If you manage to get this group of people or just any one of them then lucky you, you'll be taken care of greatly. Just go easy on them personal injury caseS take time things don't happen at a snap of a finger there's a process, but I think they handle the process well and make it smooth for their clients. I will be back if I ever need anything and will refer family/friends to them because I know they'll be in good hands.

There were several moments throughout my case when I felt that my situation was hopeless. There were setbacks, pitfalls, and disappointing developments that left my family and I feeling that every door was closing around us. But Noah was everything I needed him to be. He was intelligent, kind, clever, logical, and so much more. He knows what his client needs, and he provides that. What I needed was a friend to have my back. Every time I began to cry in his office, Noah was there with a plan, a tissue, and a friendly word to support me. Noah saved my life with the results he obtained. I will be thankful to him for the rest of my life. Now, I cannot leave this review without mentioning his paralegal, Cynthia. Cynthia is your ultimate resource when it comes to your case. The legal process can be long and exhausting. Along the way, Cynthia acts as a constant calming presence and confidante. Cynthia unwaveringly stands by the client and provides encouragement, knowledge, and support. She is the heartbeat behind your case. If you want representation that cares, you want Weisberg and Weisberg. The best thing that my family did in my case, was to find Noah Weisberg.

    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.

    I worked with them on a property settlement and they were incredibly easy to work with, and I would…read moreuse their services again.

    Buyer beware. If there could be a zero star rating, that's what this firm should receive. We sold a…read morehouse in Newport News in Nov 2019 and the level of poor communication, lack of organization, and overall mishandling of title service combined with their counterparts across the hallway doing underwriting for title insurance was astonishingly terrible. Lack of accountability on mistakes and the inability to take responsibility to correct their mistakes made the sale of our home a bad experience. Do yourself a favor, do *NOT* let your realtor nor your title/escrow company get this law firm involved with your home purchase or sale. My guess is that they underbid other law firms in the area (so they win by being cheap) but you get what you pay for which is really bad service from incompetent people.
