I had a terrible experience working with this attorney. Her poor communication skills, lack of…read moreknowledge, and limited understanding of the deal ultimately caused us to lose the house of our dreams. Everyone involved in the process, including my lender and my real estate agent, expressed concern about her failure to communicate the deal terms with the seller's attorney. She initially misinterpreted the deal and used confusing terms that caused the seller to consider canceling the contract. Throughout the process, she failed to communicate with us and made assumptions instead of clarifying important details. To make matters worse, she didn't even understand the type of loan we were using, my lender had to educate her about it after she had already made a major mistake. I deeply regret not acting sooner and finding someone else before the deal fell through. After hiring a new attorney, even the seller's attorney commented that they wished I had been working with my new attorney from the beginning. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. I'm extremely frustrated because this deal fell apart solely due to her failure to perform her duties properly. If you're reading this, learn from my experience, choose an attorney who communicates clearly, understands the process, and takes responsibility so your dream home doesn't slip away like mine did.

I have worked with several Lawyers in the past and many lack the character traits I mentioned, Erica and her staff do not. Her team helped me at closing and it was flawless.

She was also punctual and caring and worked hard on my case. Sadly, my experiences with lawyers haven't been great but Erica and Bridgett have changed this.

Avi was patient and carefully explained many details and possible outcomes which clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience. He was personable on the phone as well as face to face. He represented me at county and city hearings. The county dismissed my case and the city hearing had a favorable outcome. Neither of these results would have been possible without Avi's help. I highly recommend him.

Whether it be a criminal case or traffic case (remember-your drivers license is vitally important), reach out to him for a consultation. Don't take it for granted that you can just walk into a courtroom and get supervision for traffic violations. He will give you the best possible legal advice and if you move towards trial, he will properly prepare for the challenge. He is an excellent lawyer from a family of lawyers. Choosing a good attorney for a legal matter, is just as important as choosing a good doctor for a medical problem. Highly recommended!

Also worth noting that I followed up five months following that to confirm it was done, he said it should still happen because of the pandemic it was taking a while. He did zero-research and he was wrong. Now I have to pay for his mistakes. Tom does not like questions as it requires him to respond in a timely manner which his it appears he is lacking communication skills. Unless it is going to make him a substantial amount of money he doesn't want to respond and don't expect details--five word answers all day long. He will be your registered agent, but made it feel I was wasting his time. When I told him I used my other real estate attorney because I HAD TO SWITCH, he tells me "I am glad you found someone that would work for $200 a year". Funny thing is he works for $110/year so he must want the business...? The goal was to align with a young professional to build a long-term working relationship with. Lesson-learned, you are better-off with experience and if you feel something is off in the beginning--act on that feeling, trust your gut.
