I’ve been selling Residential real estate for over 14 years now and I have to say that Berlin Patten Ebling is the very best. Every single staff and attorney on board are quick to respond, highly professional, reliable, and most importantly available at times of need. Time is of the essence with all transactions and I cannot express enough my gratitude for their availability and assistance whenever needed.

Attorney Evan Berlin and the entire Berlin Patten Ebling team are a pleasure to work with. As an active real estate broker in Sarasota I have referred customers to Berlin Patten for nearly a decade. Evan provides Stellar legal services backed by a purely “client -driven” attitude. Going the extra mile for a client to ensure no detail is overlooked is the norm at the Firm. Evan is a long term relationship builder and my clients very much appreciate that.

We recently purchased real estate on Siesta Key and had the pleasure to work with Berlin Patten on the transaction. Berlin Patten was chosen by the seller, as we were unfamiliar with legal firms in the Sarasota area. They were highly professional, prompt in their correspondence, thoroughly answered our questions, and met every deadline. Thank you for all of your help and handholding!
