In the interview process Lisa showed genuine interests in my circumstances and quickly recognized its uniqueness. She continued to ask questions that made me re-examine my situation, from another perspective. While the information related to the legal processes was very helpful, I especially appreciated Lisa’s compassionate approach. Not only she is smart, knowledgeable, pleasant and easy to talk with, but I felt that she went above and beyond with me to embrace the uniqueness of my situation, through the kindhearted and caring conversation. Truly she is a perfect person to make (initial) contacts with clients, giving the nature of your services.
Thank you again for such a considerate customer service.

Attorney Kevin Colwell (Kevin) and his firm helped my wife and I sell our house. It had been 9 years since I had sold a house so I needed to be guided through the entire process from the contract through to sale. A couple of snags arose during the deal where Kevin had to give us advice on how to respond, for example to buyer’s discovery of deficiencies in the structure. His advice proved to be right on target, keeping the buyers from dropping the deal. We exchanged many emails, with his responses to my questions or concerns coming promptly and with clear answers or explanations. His replies reduced the worries that I had while waiting to get a closing on the sale. We also spoke by phone after going through an administrative assistant in his office. Never was a request for information left unanswered. My wife and I couldn’t be in town for the closing, but we were very confident that with Kevin and his team there everything would go smoothly. It was the perfect ending for something like this, we didn’t have to be there and we were notified after the closing that it was all done without any last minute changes by the buyers. I highly recommend Kevin Colwell.
