Law Offices of Philip Bernstein

Phil handled our recent purchase of a house, and he has done a lot of real estate transactions for my girlfriend’s co-​workers. He did a nice job answering our questions, providing advice, and representing our interests. He helped us get out of a bad deal, and he helped us make the deal on a great place when the inspection came back with a detailed list of issues. And he didn’t charge for the deal that fell through!
He certainly knows his stuff, and you are in good hands with him. I will say, however, that for first-​time buyers (read: nervous nellies) like us, it was disconcerting that he was so quirky, e.g. he kept spelling my girlfriend’s name wrong on documents, cc’ing the wrong people, or not having a working fax machine.
Given that his rates are quite reasonable, my guess is that these one-​off jobs are loss leaders for him. So maybe it’s not fair to criticize bungling of superficial details that don’t really matter. We would hire him again.
