I was put in touch with Justin Strane by a commercial real estate broker I had been working with. I needed help reviewing a lease for a new office space, to make sure that everything was in order for a hassle free tenancy. Justin was easy to talk to, laid out everything I needed to know regarding the legal language, and was quick to turn around his comments on the lease. I appreciated the phone call we had to discuss his red-lines - he helped me understand exactly what I was committing to. I'll definitely be returning to Justin for my next lease, knowing I'll receive excellent, top-quality service!

I hired Justin Strane to represent me during my purchase of a condo in Chicago. What started as a pretty straightforward transaction became very thorny when, while under contract, problems in the building were brought to light. Justin worked very hard to help me negotiate with the sellers' attorney (who was, shall we say, less than responsive). Justin gave me solid counsel, provided me realistic and prudent options to choose from, was always responsive to my emails, and in the end helped craft and ratify a contract addendum which both saved the deal and provided me with post-settlement protections against special assessments that could have resulted in thousands of dollars out of my pocket otherwise. Even a year after closing, when I had an important question on the contract addendum, he responded immediately and helped get me the information I needed.
I'm a big, big fan of Justin's work and I highly recommend his services to anyone. He has a no-nonsense, straightforward style, is deeply committed to his clients' best interest, and provides a level of service which is both welcome and (in my experience) rare.

Mr. Strane helped me with huge matter. My board wanted to vote on special assessment. Mr. Strane took a look on all documents and gave me few advises and tips of how to act and talk to the board and management office in order to show them they were not able to charge me for special assessment at given moment considering all paperwork I was provided with prior condo purchase.
I have known Justin just a short time but he has been more than helpful in every interaction I have had with him. His energetic approach and timely response time has made him easy and enjoyable to work with

I've had the pleasure of consulting with Justin on a few issues. Not only is he knowledgeable in his field, he's extremely prompt in his responses to my questions, and that is the most valuable thing to me.

Justin represented me on the sale of my condo. He worked with the seller's attorney to keep our closing on track. His negotiations helped me retain proceeds. I have referred Justin to several other people and businesses. The feedback is always positive.

Mr. Strane recently provided service as the real estate attorney for my fiancee and I as we closed on our first home. We worked with Justin throughout the entire process, and he was very knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly patient as he guided us through what could have otherwise been a very overwhelming process. I give him my highest recommendation and will work with him again should we ever decide to buy in the future.

I recently finished closing on my first condo. Justin was great at communicating the process and explaining where he fits in and where I fit in. I would highly recommend him to anyone who's selling a home. The process was smooth and easy.

Justin went above and beyond for us! He’s extremely knowledgeable and patient if things go sideways. He guided us through uncommon issues that arose and took care of so many more things than just closing! We recommend him 100%!

Justin was an amazing real estate attorney. He assisted me in both the sale of my condo and the purchase of a multi-unit home. He took me on as a client during a time when I was under great duress and experiencing personal chaos. He remained measured and even-keeled. He was firm, committed, and I always felt as though my best interest were being looked out for. 10/10 would recommend.

I've worked with Justin on a all of my clients' deals as a realtor and, of course, used Justin recently on my own condo purchase. Justin is professional, offers a clear, easy to understand point of view and can always be counted on to be an excellent client counselor. No matter the complications that can occur throughout deals in the City of Chicago and beyond, Justin has the experience and expertise to steer clients in the right direction while mitigating risk and always making clients feel completely comfortable throughout their transaction.

I have known Justin for years and can't say enough good things about him. As a person, he's delightful and easy to talk to. As a lawyer, he gets the job done and will go into overdrive for his clients. I highly recommend him to any realtor looking to get a deal done without the headaches.

As a result, there was no special assessment.
