OUR YELP REVIEWS

(Yelp us out, we always welcome feedback!)


***** Cant L., Oakland, CA - 7/21/2010

I was in the middle of a complicated foreclosed real estate deal and Jean totally helped me out. I had to deal with quasi-legal contracts from out-of-state banks on an immediate basis. Many other lawyers turned me down, but Jean read through it all and translated the salient points into understandable language in a 24-hour period.  On another occasion she also got back to me with an urgent question while she was on vacation! So helpful.

***** Gina B., Benecia, CA - 7/3/2010

If you are underwater in your home I HIGHLY recommend that you consult with Jean Shrem. First we called to give her our scenario, decided to meet with her for the 1/2 session which cost $200, and left with invaluable information. Although it is an awful feeling to be in a predicament such as ours, she was able to provide us with great solutions and resources.  We are so grateful to her. Thanks Jean!

***** Edible S., Portland, OR - 6/7/2010

I found Jean on Yelp and contacted her for a consultation about a foreclosure on my rental property. She was very friendly and informative and took time out of her day to consult me for free! Thanks Jean.

***** Mark C., Kensington, CA - 5/29/2010 

I recently referred my clients that are currently in a short-sale that was approved by the first and second loans for review.  Jean reviewed the approved documents and gave great advice and direction for my clients.  She even went out of her way to respond to the negotiator on behalf of the clients at no charge!  If anyone is in a short-sale or needs contracts to be reviewed by an attorney; Jean is the person to go to.


***** Albert T., Berkeley, CA - 4/5/2010  

I found Jean on Yelp and thought I'd give her a call.  I had An issue that was really stressing me out, and she helped me out tremendously over the phone!  She was very courteous and listened as I explained my situation, and promptly gave me advice that helped put my mind at ease. If I ever need more help, she's the one I'm going to go to!

 

***** Frank S., Oakland, CA - 2/3/2010

I met Jean through a BNI network but never expected to have to call upon her for legal advice. When I did, she was as clear and concise as any attorney I have ever spoken with.  She listened to my questions and concerns and gave me feedback and input that fit the situation correctly. She was also quite quick, leaving me well at ease about the time required and cost, a most pleasant and refreshing approach.  For business legal matters I highly recommend Jean.

 

***** Jacob H., Berkeley, CA - 1/16/2010

Great lawyer! I was stressed out in a landlord tenant dispute. I thought there was no hope in me getting out of the lease until I hired Jean! She got to work on it right away and within 3 days, my landlord had offered to release me from the lease.

 

***** Meg H., Berkeley, CA - 10/15/2009

Our real estate agent referred us to Jean for some legal advice regarding our rental home. She called us back right away, talked to us for 20 minutes (for free), answered all of our questions, and we will certainly be in touch with her if we need more in depth assistance. Thanks, Jean!

 

**** Joseph R., Oakland, CA - 10/14/2009

My wife and I went to Jean to get perspective on our home mortgage future. She gave solid advice, provide excellent reference for question outside of her expertise and followed up to clarify "fuzzy" legal/governmental issues. She was also sensitive to our time constrains and offered rapid fire, concise answers.  Her information made it possible for my wife and I to proceed in a rational fashion as we navigate our home ownership future.

 

***** Lydia Z., Hollister, CA - 9/17/2009

Jean and I went back in forth over email a few times to set up my free 30 minute consultation. She was very flexible with her schedule and called me to discuss the possible foreclosure of my home - which is currently on short sale. She gave some good advice on my options and said I could use her services if in fact I did go through with the short sale. However, if in the future I still had more questions, she made herself available for more advice. With all the financial ramifications of foreclosures and short sales, I wanted to make sure I knew what my options were. So I definitely appreciated her advice!

 

***** Adri A., El Cerrito, CA - 8/4/2009

I have had the pleasure of working with Jean Shrem for several years after she joined the real estate office I work for as a Broker Associate in 2002.  Working closely with her during her real estate transactions, Jean has always demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge of real estate-related matters (and the legal intricacies of such transactions), effective communication skills, and a strong dedication to her clients.  I have a genuine high regard for Jean as an attorney and would not hesitate to refer people to Jean as I have used her legal advice successfully for my own purposes.  Also, after a recent office meeting where transaction reviews were discussed, it was well noted that her rates are among the most competitive out there.

 

***** Martin S., San Francisco, CA - 6/4/2009

I hired Jean to review, draft and negotiate vendor contracts while at large bay area company. She did a great job!

 

***** Mitch L., El Cerrito, CA - 5/19/2009

I have been a Realtor since 1996. I have recently referred Jean to buyers purchasing bank owned (REO) properties. She reviewed the addendums provided by the banks, advised buyers regarding potential risks and issues to be aware of and gave the buyers a list of what research to do. She then drafted an addendum to provide to the bank which minimized the buyers' risks that the bank actually signed! After researching what several attorneys charge, I found Jean's rates to be a great value for the services that she provides. Especially for clients with limited funds. Her work product was excellent, as was her response time and follow through. I will continue to recommend her to all of my clients and friends.


***** Justin A., Vallejo, CA - 5/9/2009

We needed advice on a real estate transaction and the possible draw backs. Information was delivered in a timely and concise manner. While not the best news, we now know where we stand. Jean was thorough in her explanation and it alleviated a lot of our anxiety. We have already recommended Jean to other friends.

***** S.F., San Francisco, CA - 4/27/2009

Top notch, very professional.  I have been working with Jean for legal services for my business for the past 8 years.  Jean has played an integral part in helping me grow my business and her legal advice and work has been exemplary.  I can unequivocally recommend the use of her Legal services.

ADDITIONAL CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
(We always appreciate your recommendations)

    "I work for a publicly traded internet and technology company with offices in San Francisco and the United Kingdom.  We have several subsidiary companies and a broad range of offerings and business dealings.  Jean Shrem of Shrem Law Group has been our outside General Counsel since early 2009.  She handles our content and technology licensing issues, vendor disputes and whatever other legal business matters arise.  I have found her to be very responsive to our tight time frames and her advice to be an excellent balance of legal risk assessment coupled with practical business savvy.  Hiring Jean is a great solution for a company that is too small to have in-house counsel or a company that is big enough to need overflow legal help."

"I asked Jean to review a bank addendum for me in an REO purchase. This addendum in particular was dense with legalize that neither I nor my client could comprehend. I asked Jean to help us. I gave her the document in the afternoon, and she sent me an analysis by that evening.  Her timely response was very much appreciated, because the bank wanted us to act quickly. Jean provided us with an analysis that my clients could easily understand, and we proceeded with the transaction.  I would recommend her services, and I will use her again."
