Diane Mispagel

Competent real estate guidance, but communication could improve

I engaged Diane Mispagel at Rosenblum Goldenhersh to assist with the sale of a small commercial property in St. Louis. Her background in real estate law, including her recognition by Best Lawyers, was evident in her handling of the transaction. She was thorough with the contract review and identified several potential title issues from the outset that needed clarification, which I appreciated. Her knowledge of Missouri real estate law is solid, and she navigated the standard closing procedures competently. However, the experience felt somewhat transactional. There were periods where communication lagged, with responses to emails sometimes taking a few business days, which added to my anxiety during the negotiation phase. While I never doubted her legal expertise, I sometimes felt like I had to follow up to stay in the loop on next steps. For a straightforward deal, her services were adequate and legally sound. If you need a technically proficient attorney for a standard real estate matter and are comfortable being proactive about updates, Diane will handle the legalities correctly. For those seeking more frequent, proactive communication, you might want to set very clear expectations at the engagement's start.
