Estofa Law helped us out with our mortgage. Between Hassan and Hafiz they were always very prompt with communication, helpful and easy going. We had several phone calls and an online meeting with Hassan who explained everything to us clearly and answered all of our questions. This was our first house purchase so everything had a steep learning curve and overall, it's a very nerve wracking process. Fortunately the lawyer portion of it wasn't too bad thanks to Estofa Law!

Hassan and Hafiz were wonderful to work with in refinancing our mortgage. They were extremely communicative and Hassan explained all parts of the process to us with clarity and honesty. We had a snag at one point unrelated to the firm, and Hassan was patient and guided us through the hiccup. I would definitely recommend Estofa Law!
