The average person buys or sells a home only one or two times in their lifetime. The non-professional home buyer or seller is at a disadvantage in most real estate transactions unless they are represented by a Real Estate Attorney. Being represented by an Attorney can save you money by avoiding common but costly pitfalls.
The Zoning process begins with the Application for a Permit, which is met with a Refusal. The Refusal must be Appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and a Zoning Hearing is scheduled. The Application will need to be presented to the appropriate Civic Board prior to the Zoning Board Hearing. The Zoning process is complicated, frustrating, and hostile to the unfamiliar Applicant.
Litigation can be time-consuming, expensive and frustrating if you are not represented by an experienced and intelligent Litigator. You require an Attorney that has been to Court and is ready for Trial. Our firm has extensive experience litigating on behalf of Plaintiffs and Defendants in matters ranging from breach of contract to personal injury to trademark infringement to partition actions.
Estate Administration is the process of managing and distributing the possessions of a person that has passed away. For reasons unknown, this process is complicated, time consuming and fraught with pitfalls. The assistance of an experienced and sensitive Attorney is important to minimize liabilities, avoid costly mistakes and allow friends and family to focus on remembering their lost Loved One.
A Deed is an Instrument that transfers Title or an interest in Property from one party to another. There are different types of rights and interests a Deed can transfer. Without proper guidance, transferring Title is a hodgepodge of foreign terms and forms. Avoid tangling Title and let Coren Wise, Attorneys at Law counsel you through the Title process.

My fiancé and I selected Mr. Wise for a small claims case based on his favorable reviews on yelp. We were not disappointed. He called me back less than one hour after I left a message with his secretary. It took one phone call and several emails to get all of the related documents to him. He came to court prepared and was able to settle with our legal adversary with terms favorable to us.
If you have a small claims case in civil court, I certainly recommend this lawyer

Coren is a top notch attorney who really knows the real estate business. Better yet, he was extremely responsive to all of our needs. We've never sold a home before, so we were novices through the process, but Coren went the extra mile to make sure that we understood the process, and were comfortable with all of its aspects. We highly recommend Coren and will ask of our family, friends and neighbors to consider Coren if the need arises.

When I applied for a new mortgage on a townhouse we were buying, our mortgage brokers informed us that I needed to transfer my old mortgage and deed to my husband before we could be approved for a mortgage on the new place. (The hows and whys of this are complicated, but the tl;dr is that I needed to improve my debt-to-asset ratio and transferring the old mortgage was the fastest way to accomplish this.)
Coren drew up assumption documents for the mortgage, got those recorded, and got the deed recorded on a VERY short deadline, since by the time we were able to get all the supporting documents

My experience with Coren as my legal representative was extremely poor. He failed to submit any material before the hearing and had not even notified me about this due date. His argument at the hearing was confused and not well prepared despite having the stronger legal argument by far. After the ruling, my tenant was supposed to pay me a small fee. I followed up with Coren multiple times about this and Coren has refused to return my calls or emails about this issue.
I am sharing this review as I do not want others to receive the same poor legal representation that I received. When you spend

Coren has helped me navigate several legal obstacles. Real estate transactions, land-lord tenant court, property damage, mortgage closing, etc. Each time I've employed his services has resulted in a positive return-on-investment. I am a happy repeat customer. I would recommend his service for his personal attention to the matter at hand and level-head.

Corin helped us settle an insurance claim... He was amazingly patient with us, took the time to listen, then made quick and informed recommendations for us to move forward on a matter that had been drawn out for several years before he was involved. He is genuine and that is a rarity today, especially among lawyers. We will be using him again in the future for our personal and business legal needs.

We had a terrific experience with Coren Wise's services. We needed help to have a zoning variance approved. He spoke on our behalf at our neighborhood hearing, presenting a thorough overview of each of the proposed changes we wanted to make to our home. He filed all the necessary documents and paperwork with our local board, as well as with the various entities downtown. At the zoning board hearing, he represented us with the architectural plans and a report that, again, detailed the changes we were requesting. We were quickly approved. He is professional with an easy-going personality

Although prepared and professional, Coren J. Wise was unable to successfully win my appeal for a zoning variance. He seemed confused and surprised when we lost our appeal. Admittedly, I did not do my due diligence before hiring Coren. I should have recognized the limitations of his experience when he was not able to recommend the proper variance for my business after our first meeting and consultation where I described our situation and provided a tour of our operations.

Coren is an amazing attorney who restored my faith that justice can be served. My mother and I have been Coren's clients since we relocated to Philadelphia 5 years ago. His calmness in the face of the storm paired with a spirit of tenacity make him an amazing legal representative. Because of his guidance, we won a case in federal court. Because of Coren, I have personally witnessed justice being served. Philadelphia's BEST attorney.

Great experience hiring Coren Wise as our real estate attorney. Would never have made it through the complicated foreclosure purchase without him. He can come across a bit non-chalant, but he is incredibly detail oriented and was very serious when it came to protecting our interests. Highly recommend having him on your side!
