Review of Law Offices of Michelle Vereck...

This office is an absolute disgrace. The attor...

This office is an absolute disgrace. The attorney refuses to communicate with her clients. She denied her request to speak with us via phone or in person to clear up an issue that she had reading a survey. In this line of work a real estate attorney should be competent in reading surveys and plats, however, she is not. She was unable to comprehend that a .1 acre deeded portion of property being conveyed to a neighbor along the property line was not in the yard of the purchase property. Although several experts were willing to discuss this with her, including the surveyor, she refused to communicate aside from through email which was getting nowhere. She then required that we pay for two incomplete sets of title work once we canceled because closing with her was clearly not an option. We had use this office two times prior and never experienced anything like this however, those were clear-cut closings and no communication was required until the day of closing. Clearly all this attorney is interested in is booking back to back closings, getting the checks from them, and being completely unavailable outside of the closings. Beware if any issues arise she will not address them appropriately, she will refuse to communicate with you, she will do your paperwork incorrectly, her and her office will lie to you multiple times, they will refuse to answer the phone or emails, and then they will charge you for their inaccurate and incomplete work . DO NOT CLOSE with this office. We finally have changed to an extremely competent attorney office around the corner who had no problem looking at the survey and plat ( and sitting down with me three times in two days to go over all of the information that Michelle s office would not) it was obvious it was her mistake in reading them and we are now back at square one starting with this new office delaying our closing yet again. These properties were supposed to close almost 2 months ago. There are multiple other issues as well. The seller of the property received her documents with the incorrect address on it, emails and phone calls were made to correct this, a month later she had still not received new documents. The seller of the second property had made arrangements to go and close with office on May 30 and on May 29th had not been contacted that there was an issue (which again wasn t actually an issue but a lack of preparation on the attorney offices end). Had she not spoken with me, the buyer, she would have never known that they were not to be at her office the next morning to close. Communication is clearly their downfall as well as incomplete and inaccurate work . Do your research. I was steered away from this office but chose to give them a chance again since they had done other properties for us Big mistake. Incredibly rude, incredibly unprofessional and their customer service is despicable. I cannot warn you enough to stay away from the Law offices of Michelle Vereckey.

In addition her response to several other one star reviews seems to be a trend here that she claims people are not her client once they review her poorly... I am happy to add an uploaded photo of my invoice to her to prove that I was a client if it helps protect anyone else from going through this.
