I had an emergency and asked if you could quickly meet with Attorney Gross. I chose to visit her office because she shares the same name with my late grandmother. When I entered the office, Andea's staff were very warm and understanding of my urgent situation. Andrea gave me sound advice that helped ease many of my concerns. I am truly grateful for her and her team.

This was a New York situation that only the best could handle.
My aunt had been trying to resolve a tenant situation for well over two decades to no avail.
Luckily, I was able to find Attorney Andrea Gross and Kayla Munford, who in my mind are the Queens-Legal Dream Team for when in need; Real estate, Estate planning, and Tax.
If you are in distress, they will take of business and hold the ship steady. Let them do what they do, and they will take care of you.
Trust.
Believe.

This attorney was appointed as Referee in a foreclosure matter and has been unresponsive for months regarding completion of the foreclosure transfer docs. A court order has been issued for her to complete the action as failure to conduct her duties has delayed an REO closing but there still has been no action on her end. We continue to wait for her to do her job.

Ms. Allen was engaged to close an estate and has for the past five years absolved herself of completing said duties by stating that her personal problems have interfered with her ability to professionally conduct business. I would recommend that you stay far away from this attorney.
