My husband and I recently worked with Chris and Donna on our first home-buying experience, and we can't say enough good things about Doelger Law! From start to finish, Chris was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the process as smooth as possible for us. As first-time homebuyers, we had lot of questions and concerns, but Chris took the time to explain every step in detail and made sure we fully understood what was happening. His expertise in real estate law was evident, and we felt completely confident with him guiding us through the complexities of the contracts and legalities.
Chris was incredibly responsive, always returning calls and emails quickly, and he was there to troubleshoot any issues that came up along the way. His attention to detail was outstanding, catching any potential issues that we would have never noticed. On top of that, his calm demeanor and positive attitude made the entire experience much less stressful than we imagined it could be. We truly felt like he had our best interests at heart.
Thanks to Chris, we were able to close on our first home smoothly and without any unexpected hiccups. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable lawyer to help you with real estate matters, we highly recommend Chris. He’s someone you can trust to have your back!

Frustrating Experience with Suris and Associates
I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with Suris and Associates has prompted me to share my concerns so that others can make informed decisions. After over a year of what I thought would be diligent representation for my case, the firm informed me that they would not be pursuing further actions. Their reasoning? They were unable to contact the insurance company.
For a law firm, one would expect a proactive approach, especially in a legal matter that can significantly impact someone’s life. Instead, I felt like my case was put on the back burner as I experienced frustrating delays and a serious lack of communication. Despite my repeated inquiries, there was a notable absence of the effort needed to seek justice.
It’s disheartening to anticipate some support in a challenging time only to find yourself poised on the sidelines. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Suris and Associates based on my dismal experience. I hope others have a more positive encounter, but my advice is to keep your options open and consider firms that exhibit the commitment and tenacity every client deserves.

Suri's and associates was recommended by My realtor and I'm so happy for the recommendation. I just closed on July 25th and I cannot praise the attentiveness from Angela who is my Lawyer's Paralegal. Angela was patient and answered all of my questions. I used Crystal Young as my attorney and all my contracts and documents moved smoothly throughout the process. I am so grateful to have been in their hands through this home buying process!

My husband and I recently worked with Chris and Donna on our first home-buying experience, and we can't say enough good things about Doelger Law! From start to finish, Chris was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the process as smooth as possible for us. As first-time homebuyers, we had lot of questions and concerns, but Chris took the time to explain every step in detail and made sure we fully understood what was happening. His expertise in real estate law was evident, and we felt completely confident with him guiding us through the complexities of the contracts and legalities.
Chris was incredibly responsive, always returning calls and emails quickly, and he was there to troubleshoot any issues that came up along the way. His attention to detail was outstanding, catching any potential issues that we would have never noticed. On top of that, his calm demeanor and positive attitude made the entire experience much less stressful than we imagined it could be. We truly felt like he had our best interests at heart.
Thanks to Chris, we were able to close on our first home smoothly and without any unexpected hiccups. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable lawyer to help you with real estate matters, we highly recommend Chris. He’s someone you can trust to have your back!

Frustrating Experience with Suris and Associates
I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with Suris and Associates has prompted me to share my concerns so that others can make informed decisions. After over a year of what I thought would be diligent representation for my case, the firm informed me that they would not be pursuing further actions. Their reasoning? They were unable to contact the insurance company.
For a law firm, one would expect a proactive approach, especially in a legal matter that can significantly impact someone’s life. Instead, I felt like my case was put on the back burner as I experienced frustrating delays and a serious lack of communication. Despite my repeated inquiries, there was a notable absence of the effort needed to seek justice.
It’s disheartening to anticipate some support in a challenging time only to find yourself poised on the sidelines. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Suris and Associates based on my dismal experience. I hope others have a more positive encounter, but my advice is to keep your options open and consider firms that exhibit the commitment and tenacity every client deserves.

Suri's and associates was recommended by My realtor and I'm so happy for the recommendation. I just closed on July 25th and I cannot praise the attentiveness from Angela who is my Lawyer's Paralegal. Angela was patient and answered all of my questions. I used Crystal Young as my attorney and all my contracts and documents moved smoothly throughout the process. I am so grateful to have been in their hands through this home buying process!

Brian took over my case from another lawyer who was not a good fit -- and quite honestly he restored my faith in this profession. He's extremely smart, knowledgeable, honorable, savvy, and an extraordinary consensus builder. He has one of the highest degrees of emotional intelligence that I've seen and therefore was better able to read and communicate with the judge, clerks, other lawyers, etc. Brian knew how and when to be tough (yes, he can be a tiger) in order to achieve the desired results for me, his client. He was easy to work with in an otherwise emotionally charged matter -- and I'm proud to say that this man is a true mensch.

If I could give negative stars I would…after receiving their latest invoice I was shocked and disgusted because my case has been delayed in court and they probably made a mistake and billed me for their mistake. I heard nothing from them for months and when I inquired about my case status, I received a useless answer by another lawyer who charges $550 an hour. Her email response was not that long and they charged me half an hour for it. It was ridiculous! I plan to fire them and hire another lawyer…
