My last few experiences with real estate attorneys were very impersonal and I got the feeling that they felt like they were doing me a favor. I had always went with the lenders or a realtors recommendation. Not this time. McGrath & Spielberger handled my last closing I hired an attorney that represented my interests. A firm that was responsive, professional and easy to work with. Kelly Brown was my closing attorney but my main point of contact was Tona Hawgood and she was excellent. After the closing they emailed me when the deed was recorded and sent all of the closing documents in a 3 ring binder. Their service was outstanding!
I had the opportunity to consult with Jason McGrath. He was professional and helpful. Not only did he provide me with excellent counsel and a clear path forward, he humanized the legal process.I didnt feel like I was speaking to a stuffy corporate lawyer, I was speaking to someone that seemed genuinely interested in helping me resolve my issues.
I had a great experience working with Jason McGrath and ultimately got more returned to me from a shady business than I expected. They are not cheap and yes they bill for every transaction including reading your emails. However, I felt that the costs were billed correctly for the professionalism and knowledge that I received. Id use them again if the need were to arise.
I was referred to this firm by LegalZoom for a business legal problem. After that was resolved, I used the firm for the seller side of residential property transaction. The buyers attorney was wiling to do both sides of closing, however I opted for my own representation. Even with slightly higher fees of this firm, I saved about $1000 due to M & S successful advocacy about taxes due in the closing. The firm did fine job for me.
What a professional, fast, efficient experience! Lee Peindl consulted with me in regards to a Landlord / Tenant dispute and was very knowledgeable on the subject. He also suggested some edits to our commercial lease to protect us in the future. I could tell that he was well versed in his practice of law. The lease edits proved his expertise. Would definitely use them in the future!
Jim Spielberger is hands down the BEST attorney that I have ever had. His knowledge, professionalism, critical thinking, follow up, and care for his clients have completely exceeded my expectations. As a businesswoman, I highly recommend Jim as he has helped me with complicated matters in real estate, landlord/tenant laws, as well as numerous personal legal matters. I feel so lucky to have him as my attorney and I trust him 100%.
Dealing with a foreclosure is a very scary thing. I was about to lose my home of 17 years to a mortgage company, that did not follow the laws. The mortgage company lied to me flat out. I tried to deal with them on my own but could not get anywhere with them. After trying to talk to both the Mortgage company and their Lawyer I finally gave up and started to research online information. I saw nothing can be done to stop a foreclosure once it has started. When I finally obtained legal council my house had actually already been sold at the court house. I thought I would never get my home back. I was making arrangements for my 3 kids and myself to start moving. The mortgage company held off answering my calls or returning my calls to be able to obtain ownership of my almost paid off home. I am telling you all this so you understand just how bad it was. My house was foreclosed and sold before Kelly Brown came into the picture. It took 3 months and a lot of years on my part, but my home is now my home again! Even though the Mortgage company had bought my house back at the foreclosure sale ( I knew nothing about and was never advertised) Kelly Brown fought and reversed everything. This law firm comes VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me. KELLY BROWN comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.
My family and I would like to say thank you to McGrath and Spielberger. We greatly appreciate all the hard work, time and energy Mr. Jason McGrath and your agency spent towards assisting us with rectifying our legal matter. We found Mr. McGrath to be very professional. Mr. McGrath was very knowledgeable and experienced in the area of our legal issue. We also thank the McGrath and Spielberger firm for reasonable fee charged for the services provided which could have been much higher with other firms. Again, thanks and GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FIRM!
We recently worked with Amy Snyder and Kelly Brown on a loan closing and found both of them to be very personable and professional.The transaction was Highly Organized and the follow up documents were bound and organized. This was first class Professional Legal service exceeding my expectations. Nice to work with people that enjoy their work, care about the quality of the product and service and care about their clients.
Kelly Brown helped me and was concise and easy to understand. Amy Snyder also was prompt and very responsive. The staff were all professional and knowledgeable. Price was good and overall my experience was great. Would recommend them to anyone.
This team is fantastic. I have dealt with both Kelly 2 times and Jason 1 time and both time have been great! Very informative and very helpful. You dont feel like they are looking at you as dollar signs! They both were very interested and involved with their full attention! Thank you guys so much, I will be using your firm for everything starting my new business! I have called 10 different attorneys and these guys are by far the best to deal with! THANK YOU AGAIN!!Mike Taffler
Jason and his team are the best. Our home was in foreclosure and the bank would not work with us at all, would not even talk to us. Jason took more than the time, effort, dedication than we ever expected. Now we are back on track and have not lost our home. We could never been more please with all they done for us and our family. If you need help I highly recommend Jason and his staff.
I had a great and easy experience with this Firm. I would recommend them.
Would not recommend. Low sense of urgency to resolve matters in a timely fashion, lack of accountability, did not show value.Edit: This businesses response just confirms my feelings. My dissatisfaction revolves around how they notified their clients of my attorney’s departure, but that’s only a small piece of the issue. Their lack of acknowledgement affirms they either aren’t paying attention, or choose to overlook my complaints.I was promised certain legal actions would be taken in my case, but they did not happen in a timely manner. Specifically I was told in June 2018 a motion was being filed, it was never filed. I followed up months later in August (a conversation that they of course they billed me for), again in Oct, and again in Jan. Each time getting billed for asking for status on something that should have already been done. Hence my comments - no value, no accountability, and not handled in a timely fashion.
Very professional firm. Jason McGrath helped me navigate the process of starting an LLC and gave step-by-step instructions at every turn. Highly recommended.
McGrath & Spielberger are a class A operation. They are easy to work with and their rates are fair. I have used their services a number of occasions and I am always pleased with timely responses to both personal and business matters. Highly recommend their firm.
Jason is a true mortgage modification professional who does what he says, and delivers results.If you find yourself needing a loan modification, do yourself a favor and talk to this former trial attorney and prosecutor before giving money to some random loan mod company. Youll be very happy you did. It makes so much sense to work with a state regulated attorney when getting help with your mortgage.I highly recommend him.
Worked with Kelly Brown. Very thorough and overall positive experience. Just recommended to friends and thought Id leave a review.
Kelly was excellent in helping my wife and I set up a living trust as the new parents of twins! Would highly recommend, very thorough - overall positive experience!
I would definitley recommend Jason and his team if you need help with a loan modification and avoiding foreclosure on real estate. I had purchased some land in the height of the market in 2007 but unfortunately the developer went bankrupt. We had been throwing money in a black hole for seven years now, so we reached out to Jason to help us figure out the best way to minimize our losses. Jason was very helpful and very knowledgeable about these cases. We are thrilled that we got him on board our case as he was able to negotiate a new loan with the bank to where we are no longer throwing money away. Our outcome was better than I was expecting. If you need help negotiating with a bank regarding real estate, give Jason and his team a call. He will definitely steer you in the right direction.
My experiences over many years have all been positive and accurate. I fully recommend.
I was referred to McGrath & Spielberger after I decided to purchase my first investment property in the Charlotte, NC area. After experiencing the stress of trying to finance a full rehab project along with filtering through contractors, Im happy I decided to go with M&S. The process was very professional with no issues or surprises. Tona did a great job of keeping me updated if anything was needed with very little delay in responding, and attorney Kelly Brown did an excellent job of wrapping up the process with a very efficient closing. I will definitely use M&S with my next project!
Kelly Brown and McGrath & Spielberger helped us though a difficult situation. Though time was not on our side in the situation, Kelly and her team absolutely did not let that affect their performance in getting us closed. I had three attorneys tell us it could not be done. Well, Kelly did it!
We recently worked with Amy Snyder and Lee Peindl on a lawsuit regarding damage to our property by a deck building company. After 7 months, we received our payout.
Waste of money. Paid 200 for them to tell me they cant help me. I know its business but felt like they knew from the beginning they could not help me. Wont be using the service again.
