Jeannine represented me selling my parent's house. I live in another state and was unable to travel at the time of the sale. She did a fantastic job ushering the transaction through the process as the sale did not go through a real estate agent. I highly recommend her!
I am a first time home buyer so I was very new to the process. Jeannine was an excellent lawyer to work with and is knowledgable and professional in home buying. The first property I tried to purchase had a lot of expensive issues that I would have to cover immediately after buying. This included having to replace an old furnace and have roof work completed that would effect the entire condo. Jeannine gave me well informed details of everything I would be handling and how much those things would cost. Thanks to her I was able to reconsider purchasing that home and search for better deals on the market. When I finally found the home I bought she made sure that everything listed was properly included. This included owning the parking space and making sure that the HOA assessment were separate from the mortgage loan. She was with me every step of the way. On closing date she was able to explain all the closing documents to me in great detail and she made sure I understood my responsibilities as a new home owner. Jeannine was responsive and was able to answer any question or concern I had I am glad she was with me every step of the way to make my first time home buying experience great.
I would highly recommend the legal services of Jeannine Broadnax! She is personable, extremely thorough and works well with older individuals. She takes the time to go through each document to ensure her clients clearly understand terminology and have clear expectations. Attorney Broadnax makes the estate planning process much more user friendly. Thank you.
Attorney Broadnax successfully accomplished an estate issue on the "back end" that a previous attorney did not complete effectively on the front end. When we asked other attorneys for assistance, the response was doom and gloom. She was able to successfully work on our behalf for a great outcome! Follow her lead and listen to her guidance and she will certainly do her best to ensure your issue is resolved in your favor. Thank you so much Attorney Broadnax!
