Testimonials

What Our client's Are Saying

“I have used Mr. Zeidman and his firm twice so far and each time I was not disappointed. He and his staff were professional and very prompt with their responses. Regarding my legal situations, I never had to worry about deadlines or whether or not I was taken care of. I was always notified whenever critical milestones were coming up and briefed when needed. I always felt prepared! I cannot recommend Mr. Zeidman and his practice enough. I will definitely use him again!”

“Lee handled a recent house sale for us. It was challenging for a number of reasons. First, we were trying to complete the transaction quickly to avoid delays due to Covid-19. So the closing was scheduled much quicker than usual. Once scheduled, it was accomplished with minimal actual human contact. There were several other complications making this anything but a typical closing. Lee stayed on top of the entire process. We highly recommend him without reservation.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Lee. As a first time home buyer doing a direct purchase, I had no idea what to expect from the process, but Lee and his team made it easy and painless. He was quick to answer all of my questions, he made sure I was comfortable during every step of the home buying process, and he carefully explained each document that I was signing during closing. I couldn’t recommend him enough; I’ll be using him for all of my future legal needs.”

“I was referred to Lee for my bankruptcy case. At the initial meeting he explained the whole process in detail and made me feel at ease in what is a nerve wracking situation. Any time I had a question or concern regarding my case he was able to answer and reassure me. I am very grateful for his hard work!”

“When I talked to him over the phone, I thought I was talking to an Experienced rude lawyer, but when I meet him that wasn’t the case. Pleasant, energetic and experienced. Did a great job for my case.”
