Bernard B. "Bernie" Kolodner

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex property purchase

My husband and I engaged Bernie Kolodner to represent us in the purchase of a multi-unit investment property in Philadelphia. From our first consultation, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. What truly sets Bernie apart is his unique background; his engineering degree from Penn gives him a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to reviewing property conditions, titles, and contracts that we found invaluable. He didn't just process paperwork—he explained every clause, potential pitfall, and negotiation point in clear terms, ensuring we were fully informed. His nearly ten years of focused real estate law experience, particularly his recognition in the field, was evident when a significant title issue arose from an old easement. Bernie calmly navigated the complication, coordinating with the title company and the seller's attorney to craft a solution that protected our investment without derailing the closing. His professionalism at Kleinbard LLC is matched by a genuine, personal commitment to his clients. We never felt like just another file. Thanks to Bernie's expertise and steady guidance, we closed successfully and now have complete confidence in our asset. He is, without question, the attorney we will call for any future real estate matters in Pennsylvania.
