Capalbo Hourihan, LLC

I really enjoyed working thru 2.8 real estate closings with Edith and Teresa! They always had my best interests in mind, and strongly advise I walk away from a purchase that had some issues that wouldn't have come into play until I sold the property in the future. This was our first transaction, and walking away from the sale meant Capalbo Hourihan wouldn't collect payment since the transaction didn't complete!

As a small business ownder/contractor, every expense counts, and Teresa & Ben were incredibly understanding & helpful to my situation. Above and beyond with expectations and assistance. Thank you again for your help!

My experience with this firm was a positive one. I used this firm for my estate documents. Everyone in this firm was professional, punctual, and thorough. Since I had no previous experience with these types of documents, Teresa took the time to sit with me to discuss my options and what I would like to include in them. I would definitely use this law firm again. Attorney Teresa Capalbo is top notch! Many thanks!

Let me start off by first saying Edith was the most amazing paralegal I've dealt with. Its a shame Teresa was not able to perform to the same standard, let alone any standard I've seen an attorney hold themselves to. The purchase of the property was smooth and simple however there was an issue being part of the property I was entitled to having access to I was not. Teresa told me during the close "heres my card if you have any issues or need help in the future" well I ended up needing it and when I called Teresa to say I was unable to access my promised parking and that the sellers agent lied about the parking situation and I in fact did not have a spot, I was told "sorry we can't help with post close matters". So much for giving me your card then, If you expect to close and are not worried about needing helpm after the close then you will be okay. But god forbid you need help post close you won't get it here. Finding an attorney to remediate the situation was rough, they all asked the same question "what about your closing attorney?" to which I had to explain as I did above. To put it plainly Edith was amazing, Teresa was not. I truly hope I am the only person this firm has caused this level of stress. *** Edit #1 Post Response Wow what a mess, so in their response it was detailed that I was instructed to contact the HOA and the City of Hartford. It was also detailed that I had purchased the space post close. Point One - I was instructed to contact the city and the HOA which i did numerous times, they all told me the same thing. Speak to your closing attorney. They couldn't help with this as it was an issue of what was promised in the sale and they were not the responsible party. Point Two - The space was not purchased after the closing, it was said to have been included in the sale of the property along with the unit, as show in the listing. According to the CT department of consumer protection they state that real estate listing websites such as zillow and redfin are protected "a real estate broker shall exersice diligence at all times in obtaining and presenting accurate information in the brokers advertising and representation to the public." They also state that "MLS forms are deemed reliable." Point Three - The only reason i had pushed to make a claim against the brokerage in court rather than "contacting the HOA and City of Hartford" is not because I "appeard indifferant to the suggestions" its because I tried them. They know I did because I told them of the attempts before contacting them again to ask about filling a claim. If that wasn't communicated internally to the attorneys then thats not my fault, however I will not let this office misconstrue what actually happened. Point Four - In regards to "I'm Not particularly suprised Mr. Yabandeh has had a "rough time finding an attorney to bring his claim for misrepresentation" the reason being not because they didn't think it was an unviable claim. Reason being as discussed with one attorney "we have had issues with cleaning up past attorneys dirty work before and it never ends well, sorry." I truly hope this office uses this not only as a learning experiance for how to handle customer dissatisfaction but also in the field of being more dilligent in responding in a frankly repugnant manner rather than understanding the situation was poorly handled on their end.

I have a few experiences with this law firm and every single one is absolutely amazing! The attorney's and the rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of your time and needs. Not only would I recommend this law firm for your needs but I will only use this firm if I should need legal services in the future. In my opinion this is the best firm in the state.
