I recently completed a real estate transaction with Shahwar and Rodrigo at OWS Law and I could not be happier that I chose them to act on my behalf. I could call them at any time and have my questions answered. I was travelling and they both made sure that I had a seamless closing. Rodrigo would reply even if it was after business hours. I am also grateful for the virtual accommodations they provided to me. Overall, I would refer my friends and family here. Good quality work and a fair price.
