TESTIMONIALS

We would like to express our opinion regarding the wonderful real-estate attorney Kathy Rivera. She assisted us with the property purchase. Always responding on the timely manner, Kathy was very attentive, responsive, and professional. Kathy Rivera’s amazing ability to communicate made the stressful and challenging short sale process very easy and simple. When we met her on the closing, we were amazed by her incredible personality and positive attitude. Her excellent legal representation left us very happy. Thank you very much!!!!

Wow what a fantastic experience selling a home with Peter L. Berk. We had a number of difficult issues with our real estate agent and the bank holding the mortgage. Once Peter took on the legal responsibilities it was nothing but smooth sailing on our end. I highly highly, did I say highly recommend Peter as an outstanding professional. You will not be disappointed.

Kathleen O'Keefe-Rivera was a wonderful attorney to work with throughout the whole process of buying our first home. When it comes to buying a first home it is very scary and extremely stressful but Kathy made everything very easy and helped us close our home quickly and affordably. Thank you so much Kathy for all your help in getting us our first home!
