Testimonials

Our clients know us best.

I have been working with Samantha Machado on two separate files and I have nothing but good things to say about her and the team at Boardwalk Law. Samantha has been responsive, thorough, and easy to communicate with from the beginning. From start to finish she has provided great support and has been there if required. I will definitely be using her in the future and will recommend her and the Boardwalk Law team to family and friends who need a lawyer with real estate expertise. Thanks Samantha & Boardwalk Law!

Working with Samantha made my home purchase feel seamless from start to finish. She was thorough in reviewing all legal documents, clear in explaining each step of the closing process, and always quick to respond to questions. From title searches to coordinating with my lender and ensuring all closing documents were in order, she handled everything with professionalism and care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for trusted legal support in real estate.
