Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Henry James as a real estate attorney. He was a referral by a…read moregreat real estate agent (Carol Mellander), but he didn't work out for us. We used him for both a buy and sell happening in tandem and we honestly would have switched attorneys if it wasn't such a pain to do so once things are moving. I'm not interested in bashing him, as he seems to be a nice person, so I'll list the issues I've had and you can determine if it is right for you to take a chance on him: 1. Failure on most occasions to update us with progress of our home buy and sell including but not limited to: a. forgetting to mention when our closing was until calling us to ask where we were b. failing to give us closing cost information (including how much to bring to closing) until I called the night before to ask 2. Unprofessional environment... spelling and grammatical errors on most correspondences (including giving the wrong title company name for a cashier's check). Hey, I'm not perfect but I'm on yelp, not an attorney. 3. Failure to notify other parties of requests we had made. 4. Failure to notify us that our money would need to be wired rather than brought as a cashier's check (our A+ real estate agents Carie Cox and Jim Carollo with Redfin caught the error just in time to save closing). 5. Failure to give us sufficient notifiction when things were due unless someone else (our real estate agent or myself) inquired. I'm giving two stars since I reserve one for gross negligence, purposeful deception or criminal activity associated with my interaction.

I had previously closed on a townhome using one of the attorneys in this practice. Stacy was…read moreinstrumental in helping my purchase of the townhome to be completed. She was prompt, professional, and quick with her responses and her assistance. I had inquired about getting a trust and will update updated. I was recommended to Ken Piercey. I cannot recommend Kens team enough. From Donna and Maria, who worked with me to updating and gathering information to Ken, who worked tirelessly with me to get my will and trust updated. I was not the easiest customer due to personal reasons that made my completing my will and trust a challenge for me. They were patient, kind and understanding. When I came in to sign the paperwork for the will and trust, I could not have asked for a more professional experience. Ken took his time to explain the changes and made the process so much easier to understand. Having Ken provide his guidance and assistance in helping me complete the process was extremely helpful. Completing a will and trust can be complicated and emotional. Working with Ken and his team I had complete faith in the process and knowing I made the right decisions. I cannot recommend them enough.

My husband and I highly recommend Michael Murphy. We hired him to represent us when we bought our…read morefirst home. We thought he was really informative and did a great job helping us work with the seller after our home inspection. It seemed like he was really knowledgeable about the process too. What most impressed us was how sincere his advocacy felt. At closing, we had some concerns about some of the repairs that seller made. He talked us through it, advised us on the best strategy, and stayed with us for several hours until we heard from the seller. It never felt like he was itching to leave during that time, which I would have expected since we were there for so long! Afterwards, he helped make sure the remaining repairs were taken care of. I can't comment on price, since my husband and I hired him through a plan. He always responded to e-mails on time, and was responsive when we called as well. Overall, Michael seemed reliable and trustworthy, and was a great advocate for us when we bought our first home. We highly recommend him!

It's obvious Michael knows everyone when he enters the office and a smile is always returned. Their fees are fare and well worth every penny.

As I have learned, they offer a variety of additional services my clients have been able to use as well such as estate planning.

Mr. Morton and Jay provided strong law support towards my home purchase from April to September…read morethis year. Morton always response very quick and show his responsibility toward my case. In each legal documents I received, they'll point out the outstanding statements I have to be aware of or make response. Initially I spot several problems during home inspections, they helped me writing legal documents over all negotiations with seller side in very clear and powerful style and managed to protect my rights. Later on I was told the condo building was undergoing some lawsuits which might affect future price, they stood in my place and helped me analyze the unexpected situation so I'm able to make proper decision. They'll not charge full price if the deal is not successfully closed, even due to uncontrollable causes from third party. I think I would be fully at a loss and become frustrated without their help, and I would thanks again for their accompany during the whole home purchasing process.
