My husband and I used Jay Izadi as our attorney for our first Chicago-area home purchase. There was a lot we didn't know or understand about the process, how property taxes work, etc. and Jay was very friendly, responsive, and happy to break down the legal lingo in ways we could actually understand. It was obvious that he was experienced and knew how to navigate the negotiations with the seller. I would highly recommend him to any friend or family member. read more

Mr. Morton and Jay provided strong law support towards my home purchase from April to September this 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. read more

Mort Rubin is the best real estate lawyer in this galaxy. He responds immediately! and listens to your concerns. I have used his firm 5 times for buying and selling. He stood by my side and supported me when I had to deal with a questionable developer. Barbara is just adorable and she is so upbeat, personable and informed. They all have great rapport with each other and communicate so they are all aware of the status of your deal. Jay assisted on one of my closings he too is knowledgeable. If you want the best use Morton Rubin and forget the rest. read more

I found my own new home by placing a handwritten note in the front door, so, I had no realtor to guide me through the process from purchase to close. The sellers also had no realtor. I knew I would need a helpful, accessible attorney. I couldn't go with my previous ones (2 I used in last 20 years) who worked on their own and wouldn't be available on a regular basis, as their closing schedules rarely allowed for daytime interactions. Enter...Morton Rubin. I discovered his business through a Yelp search. I am thrilled to share that the positive reviews were accurate. He and his team were incredible. They were extremely responsive, easy to get in touch with via phone and email which is rear with attorneys. Morton was patient, knowledgeable and kind as I made my way through to the close. No question went unanswered, and, he reassured me along the way. He and Barbara (his Assistant) were on top of it all. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Morton Rubin for your real estate transactions. read more

Mort was non-existent in our complex court appointed commercial real estate deal. Everything was handled by his legal assistant. He didn't advocate for us and was merely a messenger. The didn't push the deal forward, it took 5 months to closed from contract date! We were the ones who had to do all the follow up and tracking of the deal. You're going to be paying for legal assistant service. read more

Happy to report the THIRD time I contacted Mort he 1.) still took my call 2.) was as responsive and knowledgeable as I remember and 3.) had not raised his fees when he remembered me. My advice: call Mort if you are buying or selling (I used Mort for both) in the Chicago area. I sold my home for sale buy owner ( or for sale by idiot in my case!) and while it's not rocket science, there are a few challenges along the way. It was those challenges Mort helped me navigate before I foreclosed and ended up living under a bridge. My anxiety spirals out of control quickly as you can tell, and having an attorney willing to answer questions in a timely manner helped me enjoy life, before I sold the home, to be truthful. He took the time to explain the law and talk me off of the ledge. Every step of the process was not smooth, but Mort and his office answered every email and in the end my house closed on time and I do not live under a bridge. ps The Office's timeliness is appreciated and must be experienced to be believed. I have never received such timely responses, not even from a doctor sad to say. read more

Mort and Jay were absolutely amazing to work with! I had a purchase fall through the day before closing and they worked on making sure I got all my earnest money back. I was then left scrambling to find another place and they made it a point to work tirelessly on a quick close on that place. Due to Covid-19, my closing had to be done in a socially-distanced manner and Jay joined via phone. He may have been sitting right next to me though, because he talked me through every single thing I was signing and explained every form in a very easy-to-understand way. You could tell he's done this before and he put me at ease throughout the closing. Mort and Jay were knowledgeable, very responsive over both email and phone, and were patient as I asked a million questions during the homebuying process. I would definitely recommend Mort and Jay and if I'm in the market to buy/sell in the future they are the first people I'll be going to! read more

I worked with Jay on the sale of my condo and the purchase of my new home and I strongly, strongly recommend hiring Joupin (Jay) Izadi on any real estate transaction. Jay has the best interest of his clients; he breaks down complex legal jargon and provides strong counsel. In addition, Jay is always available, responds quickly (he might be attached to his phone), and works harmoniously with all partners in the sale (real estate agents and lenders). There's no other real estate attorneys I would ever use. read more

Mort Rubin saved my condo deal. I would reccomend him to ANYONE purchasing or selling a residence, he is absolutely the best. His office is in Northbrook but he works all over the city. Mort was a godsend, and practically did the deal himself. With utterly no help from my real estate agent and mortgage broker (other reviews ENTIRELY, favoring towards the orange star of strife!), I was at a loss...in steps Mort. ::::condo keys jingle::::: He made the entire process as painless as possible. He put up with my endless questions, sorted out a messy tax situation and has a great sense of humor. He basically ran the show at the closing, and stood up for me on a few issues that had yet to be resolved with the seller. (Also got me $1k for a new heater!) Besides being awesome (and I don't generally like lawyers, except Amanda C), he is affordable, efficient and friendly. If you are buying/selling a place, CALL HIM! read more

We have used Mort to buy and sell multiple homes now. I highly recommend him. He is truly wonderful to work with and always has his clients best interest in mind. We have bought with realtors, privately and a foreclosure- every single transaction went smoothly for us as he makes even the most difficult of situations easy for his clients. Honest, hardworking and just a great person to deal with all around. read more

Mort is the most conscientious, responsive and caring individual. He is a skilled real estate attorney and I cannot recommend anyone more. I found his pricing to be fair, highest recommendation! read more

We went with Mort and Jay Izadi as our real estate attorneys for the sale and purchase of our home back in 2017. They were excellent to work with; very friendly, competent, and responsive. They break down the legal jargon in layman terms, so you have a complete understanding before you sign your name on the dotted line! To this day, I still communicate with them for advice/referrals in other legal/professional areas. I highly recommend Mort and Jay for your next real estate sale/purchase! read more

If you need a real estate attorney in the Northbrook area, I highly recommend Mort Rubin and his staff (Jay Izadi, Barbara and Judy). We had a buyer who wanted to close quickly. Mort and his team did an excellent job in getting the closing completed in under 4 weeks time. They are friendly, responsive, efficient and most of all knowledgeable. I don't write many reviews, but felt it was important to recognize this very highly competent team. Icing on the cake, their fees are reasonable and they are SO NICE! Thank you Mort, Jay, Barbara and Judy for your help on our closing. read more

My wife and I recently used Mort for a purchase and sale. We could not be any more satisfied with his efficiency and professionalism. Mort had a quick and effective answer for everything throughout the whole process. It is very clear that Mort is well connected and knows everything there is to know about real estate law. During these stressful times, our stress was put to ease knowing we had Mort on our side. read more

Nice guy, honest, but incompetent. Definitely better options out there when buying/selling property. Hired Mort when I sold my condo and the whole process was full of miscommunication. The biggest mistake they made was sending out emails to the wrong e-mail address, despite me correcting them several times. Even the day before closing, Lisa M manages to send out messages to the wrong e-mail address, which nearly ruined the whole deal. If any deadline passes, you have to contact them to see what's going on. Moreover, I often found typos and mistakes in their official responses which is strange for a law office. My feeling was that they were probably over worked. If you do hire these guys, negotiate them down to $250. Otherwise go with someone more competent, there are plenty of lawyers in Chicago. read more

Morton Rubin and his team Jay Izadi rock I would highly recommend for a great home buyer attorney. Every time I had a question and didn't understand they always had the answer, I could email them anytime and always got a speedy response. Jay Izadi appeared to me to be so young but I was so amazed of how knowledgeable and sharp he was, during my closing the night before he was up late at night working with me, I appreciate how he wanted me to be completely satisfied and happy at the end of my closing. Thanks so much Morton Rubin & associates. read more

The problem with buyers and sellers is that they view real estate lawyers as parity... And hire them at the last minute....on short notice... Trust me, any real estate lawyer can screw up a deal or cost you more money... This is why you want Mort Rubin as "your attorney" and not their attorney! First off, and this is funny as all heck, I recently got a call for a reference on Mort's ability to represent a buyer and, get this, their main concern was; "Mort is less expensive than the other attorneys I have spoken to and I am afraid that I will get what I paid for!" Have bought and sold houses for many years with Mort Rubin and would never go anywhere else.... Why? If you engage Mort Rubin in a real estate transaction, you not only get Mort, you get his staff! And, trust me on this, Mort's staff keeps the ball rolling! Now, if you are like me, you like to talk to "the boss." And, after a few transactions, I started reviewing the emails and letters and came to the revelation that Mort has built "a machine" with highly competent people who are both responsive and know when Mort needs to intervene.... In other words, once you engage Mort, his staff will be contacting you, relaying information to you and making requests for information, far in advance of your closing, to make sure that you will close on time! Mort's staff is as important to you as Mort....Perhaps more =) But, fear not, if the buyer or seller makes an unreasonable demand or circumstances "change" and you are worried; Mort will not dodge you, he will be accessible... It's just that, it is in your best interest to know ahead of time; that there will be more interaction with Mort's staff than Mort himself and this is "a good thing" for YOU! read more

Mort Rubin was a fantastic buyer's attorney for me - I'm a first time buyer and he was the perfect mix of patient and knowledgeable. He and his team were able to answer all of my questions promptly and completely, and he made time to talk to me outside of normal working hours. He's definitely a great guy to have in your corner, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!! read more

Mort Rubin is a rare commodity in the industry. He helped me through the sale of a house to a professional buying service.

The office of Mort Rubin was incredible from start to closing for my wife and I as brand new homeowners. Jay Izadi was incredible to work with and as reliable as it gets. He responded to email questions within 15 minutes any time of the day. It was very clear that he wants to make you feel as comfortable as possible when making one of the biggest decisions of your life. As new home buyers, my wife and I didn't really know what to expect and Jay didn't only just do the essentials (contract review, negotiations, etc.) but provided extremely valuable legal advice along the way. Buying a house is incredibly stressful, but having reliable and knowledgeable experts in your corner definitely went a long way in getting us to where we are today. We would absolutely recommend Jay and Mort for all your house buying/selling legal needs! read more

I can not think of any other attorney that works as hard and with such outstanding results as Mort Rubin. I was a Realtor and had my clients use Mort and they were so satisfied that they continued to use him on all other transactions. Having working with hundreds of attorneys while doing my business, I only recommend Mort Rubin. Obviously, I use him for my own transfactions. The BEST!!!!! read more
