Could use a real estate attorney recommendation

I really need a real estate attorney recommendation.

I need someone who is a strong advocate for me as a seller (and a buyer down the line). Someone who knows their stuff inside and out, has experience and will return calls, not be MIA, etc.

I had a bad experience years ago and I just can't have it happen again. Please rec yours.

Thanks

FABULOUS Attorney with an even better group of people working for her. I spoke to her "go to" girl Pat more than my DH during our house buying issues. She even called me on my Birthday to wish me well. They are the best, after 4 contracts and 4 REA they were the only ones we kept. I will DEF use her again. She is also works as an attorney for Wells Fargo, so if they carry your mortgage, one less fee to pay. FM if you want her fee. It was VERY reasonable for the work and time that was put into it.

ETA: she is also the attorney fir 3 others on my new block.

Kelly Daniele, she is located in Babylon. We used her when we had our hgouse built and had 2 closings and had to deal with the builder. My friend also used her when she bought her house.

Re: Could use a real estate attorney recommendation

LOVED Valerie Shivers (an LIF vendor).

Copied and pasted from my testimonial:

We used Valerie for our closing. We had some complicated issues that she was well versed in and able to guide us through. She was pleasant to deal with and was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. She coordinated things with both REAs, attorneys an our bank. When she said give me the number I'll call him (our bank) I was thrilled to not have to relay messages. She stayed on top of things, made sure the bank did right by us when there were delays. Finally, she helped facilitate a really smooth closing. Everyone told us cosings were a PITA, but ours was so easy. She really knows her stuff. We highly recommend her. Thank you Valerie!

Re: Could use a real estate attorney recommendation

Bill Horan was awesome when we were buying. The seller's attorney was an idiot and "tried" (or didn't know what they were doing) to change the contract after we signed and Bill was all over it.

We'll be using him to sell and buy this time around too.

Vito Napolitano in HowardBeach. We would never use anyone else.

He was our real estate attorney when we bought in 2004 and bought and sold in 2007

Re: Could use a real estate attorney recommendation

I wished I had known about these recs.

The guy I am using SUUCKS.

The thing is, my parents have a GREAT woman but since she came in at a little bit more money than him I went with him - what I wouldn't GIVE to go back in time and pay that extra money.

Re: Could use a real estate attorney recommendation

We used Tom Zeph, he is in Sayville and he was sooo great! he really went above and beyoned, when the bank was giving our mortgage broker a hard time, Tom helped out and was able to get us our answers faster. he was laid back and easy to talk to, but worked so hard for us. fm me if you want his info, i dont have it on me right now. but he is so great i will absolutly reccomend him to everyone i know! (and his rates were really good too). Good luck with whatever you choose!
