We hired Alma to represent us after recommendations from several friends for the purchase of our home. We were relocating to the the area and were very overwhelmed and stressed. Alma was an absolute pleasure to work with and she did a fantastic job. She is very smart, skilled professional and we were able to reach her whenever we had a concern or questions. She handled all the problems that arose quickly and effectively. We recommend her as one of the best real estate attorneys in the area and will use her again.

Alma helped our family close on a multi-family home purchase, along with many landlord tenant issues along the way. All of which worked out perfectly for us. We are so pleased with her and now consider her our family attorney. She is very smart, honest and gets the job done. I recommend her highly and without reservation.

My husband and I were recommended to Alma by a friend for the purchase of our first house. She is very professional and sharp. She explained everything about the process to us, kept us calm and was very patient with our questions. She returned our messages right away, which is very important to me and she really cares about doing a good job. There were some issues with the seller, but she worked it out and the closing was perfect. No surprises, no drama....and we are very grateful. We will definitely use her for future legal needs.

Such an amazing attorney. Very professional. Very responsive. Cares so much and looks out for her clients. She would do whatever it takes to get you the best deal without even asking. Based on my experience, I have seen how she is on top of everything, whenever I asked her for something, I find out that it was already taken care of. I wish all professionals can be as great as her. I would definitely recommend her to all of my friends and family members.

i was referred to Mrs Alomar by a friend of a friend. The first time i spoke with her i literally cried as i had to relive what my 13yr old daughter was going through with her Mom who she was living with. Mrs Alomar offered many suggestions as i initially was trying to avoid court and work with a mediator to have custody switched. Despite my request Karina made it clear that court would be necessary but she would first try it "my way" only to appease me. Karina was right, it did not work, court was necessary. We went through no fewer than 6 court appearances over the course of 6 months when i was finally granted custody of my daughter. Karina was great, she pulled no punches and even put me in my place on many occasions when it was necessary. Despite the circumstances, i am glad i had the opportunity to meet Karina, she is a wonderful attorney and a great person. Words cannot express how thankful we are.....
