Mr Spivack made our move very easy in the sense of being 100 percent with us. He would answer my calls almost immediately and calmed my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and communicates it very well.

I have known Joel for 15 years, and without a doubt would recommend him to anyone looking for financial advice, or needing an attorney's assistance in the sale of a home. Joel's attention to detail has come in handy on two different occasions. He not only helped me rectify both situations I've hired Joel for, but did so at an extremely reasonable price.

Joel handled the bankruptcy filing for my 80+ year-old father-in-law following numerous collection bills for excessive healthcare expenses. Joel guided my father-in-law thru the process in a methodical, compassionate process, keeping him up-to-date on the progress and timing. Joel's work helped ease anxiety, and return my father-in-law to a happier place in his sunset years.

Very grateful that we hired Joel for our home purchase! He was extremely professional and made the process smooth sailing. He always responded to our questions same-day and was happy to explain the process to us several times (which we definitely needed.) We weren’t sure we needed an attorney for purchasing a home, but we saved money and stress during the negotiation process, so certainly worth it. Thank you for your help Joel!

Joel has been a life saver. He has gone above and beyond our expectations. We made the mistake of not hiring a lawyer during attorney review and once we started having issues we hired Mr. Spivack. After speaking to him we knew he would help us through the rest of the real estate transaction. Joel did not disappoint he went above and beyond and gave us piece of mind. Thank you Joel for your professionalism and proficiency, we look forward to a continuous relationship.

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Mr. Spivak to represent us in the purchase of our first home. Joel has been an invaluable asset to us and we have been very grateful for his insight, advice, and guidance during our transaction. We have always felt reassured to have Joel in our corner. As home buying can be a stressful process, Joel always bolstered our confidence. From contract review, to negotiations, to closing, Joel's professionalism and experience was always on display. Easy to contact, quick to respond, and always attentive, Joel has been everything we've needed during our transaction. We happily recommend Mr. Spivak to anyone seeking legal representation during their real estate transaction. Thank you for all your help, Joel!
