Erik was one of the many lawyers I spoke with when trying to find the right team, to close on our first home purchase. Erik was the only lawyer that found a way for us to save huge on LTT, with a first time home buyers credit for my spouse who had already bought a home once before. Tracy was also very helpful and ready to answer any questions or concerns that we may have had. Both Tracy and Erik were very accessible and professional. Thanks for the smooth experience.

Erik and especially his law clerk Jennifer are wonderful and super efficient. They were provided with mortgage instructions for a re-finance closing in 4 days for my client and it will close on time . You don't find law firms that do that often! Will absolutely use their services in the future ! Thanks again Lindsay
