We love Judy! She was wonderful to work with and was a great help to my wife and I as we drafted our Last Will and Testament as well as Health Proxies and Power of Attorney. She made the whole process quite pleasant! Even though we were working on an accelerated schedule, Judy made sure we had multiple opportunities along the way to ask for clarifications and make amendments. She is awesome, with an efficient team and high attention to detail. We highly recommend her.

Judy Mock was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I got in touch with her to execute our wills, trusts, and living wills and she was so helpful and quick and enjoyable to work with. She's very personable and friendly but also takes care of business. We had a few correspondences and then one hour long phone call which was thorough and informative. She got our documents back to us right when she said she would, and we were able to schedule for signing the following week. Meeting her in person was great. She made what could be a very arduous process very simple and straightforward, and I also feel confident that everything was done correctly. She has many years of experience and we know we were working with a real pro. I would definitely use her again.

My husband and I used Judy to help us with our last will and testament. For years we have put this off because it seemed like such a drag—but working with Judy—she was such a pleasure—completely turned the situation to something so easy. She was efficient—made everything easy to get checked off the list—and had great follow through. She was so friendly—explained everything in a way that we completely understood it all—and spent so much time with us. Highly recommend!!!!

Judy is a one of the best attorneys out there. She was able to provide us a full process overview as we were first time buyers. She helped us understand what the most common pitfalls are and how to avoid them. She was very thorough on our case and didn’t miss any details. We had almost gone into contract on a newly renovated house that was full of red flags if it wasn’t for Judy. She had done some research on the house and it turned out to be missing key permits that were necessary for the renovation. We would have been in a tough position if we had purchased that house. A few months later, after countless open houses, we had found our future home and called Judy right away to get the ball rolling. There were difficulties with closing the house as the seller had title issues. We were worried that our rate lock would expire and end up having to pay a higher rate. But thanks to Judy and her persistence, she was able to work with the seller’s attorney to get the issue resolved before the rate lock had expired. She was even available while on her vacation to answer any urgent emails. At closing, she kept all parties organized and ensured a timely meeting. After closing, Judy had kept our case open as she wanted to ensure title was cleared on our property so we don’t have any title issues if we ever decide to sell our home in the future. Judy is someone you can count on to get things done and someone that you can trust to tell you the truth. We appreciate her hard work on our case and glad that we had chose her to be our partner on our first home purchase. We would not have been able to close as quickly and efficiently without her help. Thank you Judy!

Julie recently helped me put together advanced directive documents including a will, healthcare proxy, living will and power of attorney. It was a pleasure working with Julie as she is straightforward, extremely organized and is a good sounding board for decisions and questions throughout the process. I am really happy I went with Julie and highly recommend her. As I read her other reviews, I'm pleased to learn she handles other types of transactions and look forward to engaging her again in the future.

Judy is fantastic. I found her for a real estate purchase (my first one!) and she walked me through all the steps, she was extremely thorough and patient. She is extremely efficient and to-the-point which I appreciate as someone who is always on-the-go! Would highly recommend.

In our case, it turned out that nothing needed to be changed at this point. Judy pointed that out efficiently and lucidly to us, and we were reassured at not cost.

We used Judy when we refinanced our home , and recently when we sold our home and brought a condo . We were extremely happy and satisfy with her services each time . She sent us a to do list , what we needed to gather up and guided us through each step of the way. She is extremely experience and I trusted her completely . Whether its buying or selling we felt that our interest was always well protected and nothing was overlooked She always gave sound and professional advice. I have nothing bad to say about Judy Mock . I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal services .

Ms. Mock did an outstanding job on our home purchase. She answered all of our questions and kept us informed about the process from start to finish. Our emails were returned promptly and she was a pleasure to work with during this sometimes stressful time of dealing with the lender's issues that had to be resolved. Ms. Mocks fees were very reasonable for the quality of services that she provides and i would recommend her to anyone needing legal services for a home purchase

Judy has been great and very professional. We've used her to help prepare wills for our growing family. She also has helped with answering some great questions on elder law and how best for my mom to prepare for retirement properly.

Ms Mock handled a very problematic guardianship situation in an expedited manner! She has a no nonsense, razor sharp approach in elder care. I highly recommend her and her talents to anyone who is confronting an elder care headache. If I could, I would give her 6 stars!!!! She goes to bat for her clients!

Me and my girlfriend were to buy a two family house. I found Judy online, read her good reviews, and contacted her. She responded to my very quickly; after a quick call, she sent me a to do list, which is a very clear and helpful guidance. We scheduled a meeting to go over our contract. Before the meeting, she already did all the DD, and a lot of research on the house(which i am not sure if all attorneys would have done so, I purchased a condo in 2017, closed with a different attorney, back then, I didn't interact with my attorney much or discuss all terms in details, maybe because condos are easier. ). At the meeting, she explained to us about the potential issue of the house; explained the terms in contract and how we can best protect our down payment deposits in multiples ways; and all other perspectives that we should add/change in the contracts to help us, she didn't overlook any details. She didn't rush us to get in contract/close the house so she could get paid, instead, she expressed her concerns on the issues of the house, and gave us very helpful suggestions on what we could do if we really want the house. We truly felt that Judy acted best for her client, and make sure we don't get into a contract while end up with a lot of troubles. Me and my girlfriend researched more on the issues of the house, and ended up deciding not to buy the house(which saved us a lot of money and time). Judy is very experienced, and thorough, she is very honest and very straight to the point, she is definitely a great partner if you want to buy a house and we felt really lucky to work with her and she helped us stay away from a trouble house. We will find our dream house and close with Judy for sure.

I need to write this while its fresh in my mind. Do not use this lawyer. She is terrible and negligent. She has overloaded herself and missed things on more than one occasion. She has screwed me in my house purchase and in the end I have to eat the costs not here so I warn you DO NOT USE HER.

I had told her that I had wanted to move in as soon as possible yet she failed to informed us that there was a cause that included a 30 days period after the closing allowing the sellers to stay. She also failed to negotiate any monetary reim5bursement for us. So basically the sellers can stay 30 days on my dime. What kind of lawyer does this? I pay her to ensure I get what I want not to help the sellers.

Also when we signed the contract she wrote the wrong amount on my down payment check and we had to personally send another check to the sellers attorney. Talk about being unorganized.

Another time, she wasted her own time and mine trying to negotiating a clause that was already finalized. If she spent more time on the other part maybe I would not be in this predicament. She also make a mistake doing simple math through one of our email correspondence.

I believe her reviews are fake so please take my warnings to heart. You do not want her. I am so frustrated over this. I have switched a lawyer right before my closing cause she has messed up too much .

If you have her drop her. If you dont please look somewhere else.

Also if you have any questions I will gladly answer them so you wont make the same terrible mistake I did.

Ps I like how after I put a bad review suddenly 5 more 5 stat reviews pop up all in the same day...
Suspicious....

I am a first time homebuyer who closed about 3 weeks ago.

Judy is good. She was straightforward and detailed all the costs that may be involved in the process. She was very responsive with any questions and concerns I raised throughout the process.

When we reviewed the purchase contract together, she highlighted everything of concern, including things I didn’t pick up. Throughout the process, she gave very good instructions on what to do and what to expect next. At the closing, she was very good at explaining the payment details. At the end of the process, I did not have any more questions for her. She had answered all my questions.

I would recommend her to other people and would reach out to her again for any other legal services she provides.

Can't thank her enough for all her help in our home purchase. Judy is the kind of person who takes pride in her work and is someone you want in your corner. She is always working hard and even after hours to make sure your case is receiving the proper attention. Her experience makes her a valuable asset- she is efficient yet thorough and anyone can tell that she is on top of her game. She is responsive and was a joy to work with- making the whole process organized despite all the moving parts involved with a closing. Judy really looks out for the interests of her client and made sure everything went smoothly, timely and that we were protected. It took us a long time to find our home (almost 4yrs) and Judy was with us every time we thought we were in love with a place. She helped flag potential concerns and always gave us sound advice yet allowing us to make the ultimate decision. I appreciated her can do attitude and candor as a person- she is professional yet also someone you can trust to tell things to you straight which was very refreshing. I would not hesitate to recommend her or use her again- Judy is truly the kind of professional you can trust for these important matters in life where you need someone meticulous and who will go to bat for you! She takes pride in her work and I highly respect that in a person as a mark of good character. We were lucky to have found her!

I recently used Judy to purchase my house on Long Island with my wife. Judy is very attentive to detail and was extremely helpful in understanding the clauses in the contract. She handled all interactions with the seller's attorney timely and within the same day. At closing, she broke down each cost that we were paying with our closing cost and we knew exactly how much money was to be paid before we showed up to sign the papers. She was very up-front about certain circumstances and what could or could not be negotiated with the seller. Judy was very thoughtful and accommodating with her schedule and gave multiple times when she could meet. She made my first home purchase very easy and got us into the house 21 days before the original close date which was amazing. I would highly recommend Judy for any real estate purchase.

Caveat Bettor

Judy has helped me in: trust and estates, financing my primary residence, and also in my investment partnership. In addition, she has helped one of the non-profits with whom I volunteer. In all these areas, she has been a great source of information and wisdom, and she has saved me a lot of time, money and pain. Finally, she has a great rolodex of contacts that can help in all the legal areas in which I have worked with her over the years.

I have worked with many attorneys over the years, and appreciate Judy's intense focus on the matter at hand, as well as her long term strategic views. I could not recommend her more highly. Judy is client focused, and I have always felt that I have gotten more for her than I have given.

Working with Judy was an absolute joy.

My wife and I met with Judy to take care of our Will and Advanced Directives. Judy did an incredible job of making the entire process as simple as possible, and truly went above and beyond what we were expecting.

Instructions were clear and concise, the paperwork was well structured and easy to follow, Judy and her staff responded quickly to all of our questions, and she took extra time to talk us through how the documents fit into our birth plan and how to use them.

I would definitely recommend Judy to anyone looking for a lawyer, and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

Updating my review as my wife hired Judy for some updates to our Wills:

My wife and I had to make some updates to our wills following the birth of our first child, and Judy was an amazing help. As first time parents we knew there would be a lot of simple, mundane administrative tasks that would need to be taken care of, but in the aggregate those simple tasks become far more daunting when also managing a 2 month old, sleep deprivation, parents/ in-laws, and work; but Judy made this entire process simple for us. She gave clear instructions, boiled the process down to the bare essentials, and made the trust options available to us easy to understand. I would highly recommend Judy.

I had the pleasure of working with Judy on my newly purchased property. Due to the complicated nature of this purchase, she was able to guide me through the whole process smoothly and seamlessly. She was able to clarify and simplify the many confusions. I would highly recommend her to friends and family and would gladly work with her again.

Last Will and Testament was something I had on my mind to take care of. It was a bit intimidating but Judy a took the time to review the process and clearly communicated what was in my best interest. Judy and her team were professional and most efficient.

My fiancé and I were excited to find a seemingly perfect condo in a new building and were thrilled when our offer was accepting. However, it was our first time buying in New York and we knew we'd need help. I found Judy through a legal assistance program that's offered in my office and was thrilled to find that she was straight-forward and to the point after our first call.
While we waited for the paperwork from the condo she was amazing at checking in and giving me updates and was able to work with my hectic schedule to get a meeting on the books; along with sending me all the paperwork so I was able to prepare questions in advance of our meeting. When we met she had done her due diligence and thoroughly gone through all the paperwork the Sponsor had sent over - finding out that no only had the Sponsor gone bankrupt, but he had several other buildings in Brooklyn with massive issues. Judy saved us from buying in to a poorly built, potential disaster. She did the background work needed to ensure that we were taken care of and making smart investments - its rare to find a lawyer who has your back like that! This sale obviously didn't pan out, but Judy will be the only lawyer we use for any upcoming purchases!

Judy was extremely honest and straightforward with all of the pros and cons of new build condo buying in Brooklyn. Although we didn't hear what we wanted to hear, I walked away feeling educated and very informed! She took her time explaining everything clearly and simply and made me feel like she actually cared about our very large decision. I would definitely use Judy again when I'm contemplating a future home purchase because I know she is extremely attuned to details and won't let anything fall through the cracks.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Judy Mock to draw up our wills. She was professional, personable, and crystal-clear about all the steps we needed to take from start to finish. We set up several phone consultations, during which she answered all of our (many) questions in a direct and understandable way, and she always took the time to make sure we knew exactly what decisions we needed to make as well as how to go about making those decisions. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming process was simple and straightforward with Judy Mock. We always felt in great hands, and highly recommend her!

Quick Summary: Judy is absolutely excellent - if you’re considering hiring her for buying/selling property we 100% recommend you do so.

Judy was absolutely fantastic to work with. My partner and I have just finished purchasing our first home together and we decided to use Judy as our legal representation. She provided excellent guidance out of what we were to expect, helped us understand the current state of the condo we were buying and the state of the association, and worked extremely hard to get us the best agreements we could get out of the seller.

From day 1 and our initial consultation, Judy made it very clear what she needed from us and what she needed from everyone else. As we moved forward through the process she showed us what the red flags were for our place and gave us warnings about what to expect should they prove out to be actual problems. We knew exactly what we were getting into because of her guidance and expertise.

On the day of closing, we showed up to Judy's office and she ran the entire closing process very smoothly. There were (of course) hiccups along the way but we managed to work around that just fine. During the closing process Judy made sure again that we understood what we were signing and that it was what we originally agreed to, and that we ensured that all of our monetary liabilities added up to what we had originally thought they would be. With the exception of the title company being late, we could definitely have been done within the hour.

Overall we had an excellent experience getting this done thanks in large part to Judy’s skillset. If we end up purchasing or selling again we will definitely be consulting her during that process wholeheartedly.

My husband and I had a truly wonderful experience working with Judy. We were trying to use my Hyatt Legal Plan benefit through work to draft our wills. After receiving AWFUL customer service from 3 different lawyers in our area, we finally reached out to Judy who was extremely communicative, thorough, and responsive from the start. She was very honest and advised us to wait the extra couple of months until our 2nd child was born to get the most out of the benefit and save money. Not only did she talk through what needed to be done for the will, draft, and fully execute our wills in a timely fashion, but she made sure that we had considered every possible scenario beyond what a will required us to consider. She went way beyond the call of duty for us. I would highly recommend Judy Mock should you require legal services!

Very professional and responsive, she returned calls and emails like no one else. Unfortunately she couldn't complete my case but she got me 95% of the way there and was super helpful.
