Had multiple issues after the fact with a home purchase Kosteck represented me on.

After multiple attempts to reach out and have him get the issues addressed they have done basically nothing and now can't even get a response from them. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. If everything goes well they'll probably be just fine but if there's any issues (especially after the fact) know that you will likely get ignored.

They were everything you would want, personable, patient with our many questions, incredibly knowledgeable, and didn't make you feel uncomfortable asking questions.

She is patient, confident, and very experienced in her line of work. She was always very helpful, interpreting the legal jargon when I had questions. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. She went above and beyond what she was probably hired to do and I am forever grateful.

Lynette was recommended to me by my real estate agent and I can't say how pleased I was with the…read moreservice I received. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of apprehensions both practically (there's lots of paperwork) and, admittedly, emotionally. I didn't know what I didn't know and that was intimidating. As a first-timer, I wanted to understand each step and needed some extra hand-holding. Knowing this, Lynette was there to explain documents and processes before I even asked. I felt very confident with Lynette by my side throughout the buying process. I understand there were some challenges in working with the seller, but I never once caught wind (until after closing) or felt the pressure my team felt because of Lynette's professionalism! She sat through an unusually long (~4 hours) closing process (due to aforementioned challenges) and remained cool and professional through it all. I am now several months past closing and happily residing in my new home and questions still come up (warranties, taxes, etc.) and, without fail, Lynette responds to every email within mere hours and encourages me to call and continue to draw on her for support. THIS, to me, is where I am most impressed. I'm hoping anyone in search of a real estate lawyer takes some time to give Lynette call consultation call. I can attest, she maintains her professionalism and responsiveness throughout AND beyond the sale process. I'm sure you'll be impressed!

Short sales are difficult and time consuming for all parties involved and the staff at Kathleen's office have been an asset lightening the load for our 350 agent office.

I have worked with many attorneys over the last 20yrs. I can attest to Kathleen's expertise in all of our real estate legal needs having worked with her on a variety of different transaction types now. I even use her for my personal sales and purchases.

I had to constantly follow up to even get a response. Frank ignored most of my messages, and when I did hear back, it was always the same empty promise: "We'll get back to you in two days." Spoiler alert -- they never did. How is it even remotely acceptable to let a case sit untouched for over two months? I honestly have no idea what I paid for. Total lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic communication. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone who actually wants results -- or to be treated like their time matters.

When our "highly rated" attorney fell through, leaving us in a compromising position, Cheryl readily took us on. She was patient and kind in navigating us through our first time home purchase. She promptly answered all of our questions and helped us clarify anything that was confusing (essential when you're new to home buying). When things got complicated with our lender, she served as a powerful and knowledgeable advocate by negotiating on our behalf. Due to her efforts, not only were we able to close on time, but also with reduced closing costs. I don't often write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because we are truly grateful for having found such an amazing attorney, especially after being jaded by our negative experience with our previous attorney. If you're looking to purchase a new home, Cheryl is exactly the type of person you want to work with.

And then DEFENDED it saying it was not included () Thanks for that Counsler. Even though it was in the walk thru video(s)-on Zillow and RealtorCom. I thought it was a bad joke! Secondly the financial part of the deal will probably end up in court. (5000 dollar error her part) Chicago Title really loves this kind of incompetence- not!
