  Yasmin Vinograd and her clerk Sarah are absolutely wonderful! They are both extremely knowledgeable and very kind and understanding to their clients. They guided me through a dispute which ended in mediation and the outcome was more than favorable! Yasmin is an excellent attorney and extremely organized and very detail oriented. I never want to HAVE to use her services again but if I ever need to Merovitz Potechin and Yasmin will be my first call! Thank you for everything.

  I retained this firm to act on my behalf in the purchase and closing of a property. Just before moving in, I discovered serious issues that should have been identified through proper permit and compliance searches, which I specifically paid the firm to complete. A 100 x 50 ft building, the toilets, and the floor drainage system on the property had all been installed without the required permits. The toilets and floor drainage were illegally discharging waste into protected wetlands. I only became aware of these issues when I asked the previous owner to have the septic system serviced prior to moving in. These matters were missed entirely by the firm, despite being discoverable through standard due-diligence searches. As a direct result of these failures, I incurred close to $200,000 in out-of-pocket losses. When I attempted to cancel the transaction after discovering these issues, Matthew Reardon required me to sign a document releasing the firm from any responsibility and stated the firm would not proceed unless I signed. I signed this document under pressure and duress, as I had no reasonable alternative at the time. In my personal experience, I found Matthew Reardon’s conduct to be misleading and untrustworthy, particularly in how the situation was handled to protect the firm’s interests rather than mine. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this firm for real estate transactions. The lack of due diligence and the pressure tactics used caused me significant financial harm.

  On a glance, this would seem to be a very successful team. I will never discover their capabilities personally, however, since they demanded $1000 in their very first communication to cover the initial consultation to determine if they were the right fit for my needs. Based on that offensive policy. I have been able to determine that they are not the right fit for our needs. If the intent is to separate the chaff, well done. Edit: Understood, and thanks for your reply. When you eventually discontinue this policy, I will remove this review since it will no longer be relevant.
