Our Reviews

"Highly recommended for real estate law in Chicago. Jeremy handled the closing when we sold our Logan Square 3 flat. Jeremy and Megan were a great help. I was always able to get a quick response to any questions, even when Jeremy was on vacation around New Years. Fee was very reasonable."

I had an incredible experience working with Stephanie and her team at Bell & Shah.We were first-time home buyers and the whole experience was new to us. Stephanie took extra time and care to explain everything; the inspection, requesting documents from the seller, the wiring of the down payment, and all the legal documents we needed to sign for the closing.I would definitely recommend Bell & Shah to anyone looking for a real estate lawyer.

We have worked with Avni on two real estate transactions since 2015 and have thoroughly enjoyed working with her and Adriana. They are very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the real estate transaction and closing processes. Avni even helped us navigate a tricky 11th hour situation but guided us through a resolution just in time for closing. We highly recommend the Bell & Shah law office. We will definitely seek their counsel again for other legal matters in the future.

Bell Law was instrumental in our home purchase and we highly recommend them! Each touchpoint with their team was professional and prompt, and they truly helped us understand our home buying process - including negotiations, HOA minutes, and closing procedures - and were also wonderful about answering any questions that arose along the way.We were so pleased with their keen attention to detail and advocacy on our behalf - they were crucial in keeping our lender and other parties on schedule, and really made our purchase seamless. Highly recommend and would definitely hire them again!

Avni Shah and her team did a great job in helping me sell my place. They were responsive, professional, knowledgable and reasonably priced. They led me through every step of the way and even saved me some money by working with my association's management company to remove an unnecessary fee.

Stephanie Wolfson was beyond amazing in the recent sale we had. She knew how to navigate every path and pitfall along the way and was always seeing things before they happened! I can't recommend her enough, everything was smooth sailing when it seemed like things would fall apart. She was a rock through the transaction and was a steadying presence throughout. Use her and feel great about you purchase or sale 🙂

Stephanie Wolfson was great! We had both a complicated sale of our home and purchase of a 2 flat in Chicago. Many negotiating frustrations on both sides. Stephanie was very attentive, responded quickly and acted on our behalf. She talked us through many options and helped us sell at a profit and purchase under fair and appropriate terms. Thank you, Stephanie!

Jeremy Bell and his team were fantastic! When we ran into some difficulties with our mortgage application with Chase, Jeremy spent a significant amount of time with us coaching us on how to deal with the situation. While we had a very unpleasant time dealing with Chase, it was made much better by having Jeremy and his team at our side helping us through it. I would highly recommend Jeremy to anyone interested in buying a home in the Chicago area.

Stephanie Wolfson? When you find Stephanie Wolfson, you need to stop, pick up the phone and call her if you need AN AMAZING REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY and PLUS! I have been in the Mortgage Industry now for 4 years, and have had the great experience of working with MANY attorneys on all my deals. Both Buyer and Seller Side. Some names I see, and I am literally WORRIED because I know they are NOT into doing their job very well. And when I see STEPHANIE WOLFSON I know she is one step ahead of everything, super timely, great communicator and getting the job DONE! Also, at a very fair price. Ask her how she can also help you with your Estate Planning... things you are holding off on. She will be quick, thorough and painless. And when I have a Spanish-speaking client, I know they are in great hands with her staff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STEPHANIE and cannot say enough great things about this very talented, graceful and professional soul. Lisa "La Boriqua" - Dancing n Financing!

We worked with Bell Law for the first time on a sale of 4 multifamily buildings, totaling 27 apartments, which required a LOT of back and forth with the buyer and a fair amount of due diligence work. In short, the experience was fantastic! We've been in the commercial real estate business for 12 years and I have never worked with a team that is so responsive, well-organized, proactive, and communicative. I highly recommend Bell Law. Our business will never go through another closing in Illinois without them!!!

I am super thankful to my friend who recommended me to work with Bell Law, LLC for our condo unit purchase. Stephanie Wolfson and her assistant Megan Nolan are incredibly sharp professionals who led us through the whole process and helped us to take the right decisions. I would definitely like to work with them in the future, when needed, and would highly recommend to everybody to do so.

Andrew Escobar

I would absolutely recommend this firm. Everyone is outstanding to work with. I purchased a condo and dealt with Jeremy at first. His experience truly shined and made the whole experience flawless. The second time working with him and the team was second to none. Megan was totally responsive and Avni (a complete pleasure to work with) handled our closing. I appreciate the communication and availability and could not be happier with the outcome or the overall experience on each occasion.

Stephanie Wolfson was my attorney for a real estate sale. Never met her in person. No need. She made everything so incredibly easy! Professional, and incredibly efficient, and replete with an assistant who was equally competent - Meghan. This was the easiest real estate transaction that I ever conducted, thanks to Stephanie and her team! Thanks!

We were referred to Avni Shah at Bell Law by a friend. We have owned a condo but this was our first single family home purchase and it was also new construction. Avni was extremely helpful in this process and provided us a level of comfort and ease. Her and Megan were both very responsive. Avni had our best interest in mind and we would recommend her to anyone purchasing real estate!

Jeremy and his team did an amazing job with the sale of my condo. From beginning to end, I was thoroughly satisfied with Jeremy's legal services. This a person that knows his stuff, brings an opinion to the table and 100% works for your best interests.I am a highly detailed person with a lot of questions and Jeremy always had the patience to provide me with intelligent, knowledgeable responses. During the contract review, Jeremy was thoughtful in his guidance to me and more than willing to draw hard lines where I needed them. He is quick to respond and I never had to wonder when I would hear from him. The whole team at Bell Law are competent, intelligent and respectful. I have high expectations and Jeremy and his team exceeded them at every point.Couldn't be happier with the service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bell Law.

I would like to thank Jeremy Bell for his professionalism, knowledge and great customer service. My case is a somewhat complicated involving unconventional real estate transaction with a private mortgage and I needed someone who can handle the complicated real estate transaction and also has enough experience and knowledge of dealing with such cases. Jeremy is really good at what he does and I would not hesitate to hire him in the heartbeat as soon as the seller is ready .

The folks at Bell Law are fantastic. Avni, Megan, and Stephanie all helped me immensely during the process and were quick to address any questions or concerns. As a first-time home buyer, I really appreciated how smooth and stress-free the whole experience was and I would highly recommend them to someone looking to finalize on their new home.

Jeremy and Avni represented me at the closing of my home. Jeremy was great and took the time to explain things by phone which gave me a better understanding in this first time home purchase. During my closing Avni was there and her attention to detail ensured I received the money I was due from the builder on my taxes. I would highly recommend them!

Jeremy and Betsy represented me in the sale of my condo. I was informed of every step. The communication was great. Thank you, Betsy for not minding all my questions and making special arrangements to meet with me. Jeremy, thank you for your knowledge and expertise. If anyone is looking for a real estate attorney go to Jeremy and his assistant Betsy, they’re a great team to work with. Most people don't realize that you don't have to pay anything up front. Everything was handled at my closing. If I ever make it back to Chicago and need some legal representation I'll be calling Bell Law.

We've used Jeremy on both sales and purchases on anything from a condo to a multi-unit investment property. He's always been responsive and thorough. Highly recommend him and his team.

My wife and I actually used Avni Shah at Bell Law for buying our condo in Chicago back in 2012 and again this year (2018) when we sold it and moved to the suburbs.We were referred to Avni by our real estate broker, Ryan Gossett of @Properties (he is awesome too, by the way). For both transactions, Avni took care of arranging everything to make sure that when the close came along, I had nothing to worry about. She answered all of my questions (and follow-up questions) and even took the time to get to know me and catch up on the last 6 years when we were on the sell side.Buying and selling both pose different challenges, and Avni helped me navigate those. Most of all, I appreciate her patience with me when I would deliver required documents close to the deadline.I would recommend Avni to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Chicagoland!

We used Jeremy for assistance in purchasing a commercial property. He was extremely thorough, explaining all of the contractual language. He kept us informed during the whole process, identified credits, protected our interests and was extremely detail orientated from start to finish.

Andy Verb

Our real estate broker referred us to Jeremy to handle our condominium purchase. I think Jeremy and his entire team were fantastic. This was not the easiest transaction but Jeremy went out of his way to make sure we were able to close. I will definitely use Bell Law in the future and feel very comfortable referring them to friends.

My realtor recommended Jeremy Bell to handle the sale of my condo and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the get go, Jeremy and his assistant Betsy were friendly, detailed, and responsive and I always felt like they were in my corner throughout the entire sale. He even responded to emails while he was overseas -- continuous service throughout the entire transaction. Highly recommend whether you're buying or selling. Close date: 7/17/2017

Jeremy made what could have been a complicated process (From the standpoint of a newbie home buyer) very smooth and easy to understand. His office is very professional and responsive. My questions were answered immediately even when he was on vacation! I will be using Jeremy for my next home purchase and highly recommend his services.

Jeremy Bell is a residential sales transaction attorney you want on your side. My spouse and I recently had the good luck to have chosen him through a referral of our residential broker and at first I thought it was just another expense related to doing business in a city like Chicago. But I was mistaken. Jeremy stayed on top of all the communication, helped us arrange the necessary power of attorney so neither one of us had to be at closing - as we are now back in the Great State of Texas - and navigated us through the ins and outs of the inspection and any other ad hoc negotiations with the final sales terms. Thank you, Jeremy! Texas hat tip to you and your team!Rob't. & Jim.
