MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Kriss Law, LLC/Atlantic Closing & Escrow is one of the nation’s largest residential and commercial closing firms. Founded in 2004, the company has grown through a commitment to service, price, and partnership with our Realtor and lender clients.


Throughout the company’s growth, we have maintained a small firm feel while offering the resources of a larger organization by strictly adhering to our “One Point of Contact System.” In all transactions, buyers, sellers, Realtors, and lenders deal with one central point of contact. This avoids confusion and helps our clients to form long-lasting relationships with our staff.


Kriss Law/Atlantic attorneys are available 7 days a week and after normal business hours. We have an attorney on call each weekend to meet any of our clients’ needs that may arise. For each weekend’s on call attorney, please visit our Facebook Page at: www.facebook.com/krisslawatlanticclosings/ or follow us on Instagram @krisslawatlantic.


At Kriss Law/Atlantic, we are always happy to travel anywhere at anytime to help make the closing experience a good one for our clients. Whether it is a borrower’s home, Realtor’s office, or even an airport in California, we will make it convenient for our clientele.


In addition to our service model, Kriss Law/Atlantic has forged a unique bond with the Realtor community via our Continuing Education Program. Since its inception in 2005, the Program has provided informative and interesting opportunities to earn credits toward license renewal for over 100,000 Realtors in New England and beyond. Our lender partners participate in the Program as well and hundreds of mutually beneficial mortgage/Realtor relationships have resulted.


While Kriss Law/Atlantic has been named Banker & Tradesman’s Best New England Closing Attorney and Title Company several times, we conduct real estate transactions in all 50 States and have many offices up and down the Eastern Seaboard.


Locally, our Rhode Island office at 10 Dorrance Street in Providence, has long served the Ocean State’s real estate community.


To schedule a Realtor continuing education event, easily obtain a fee quote from our online calculator, or read more about the firm in general, please visit us at www.krisslawatlantic.com.


We are always interested in speaking with anyone in the real estate industry about new, exciting, or outside-of-the-box ideas that may help to generate new business.


Please contact our Senior Rhode Island Sales Representative,

Sharon Zickendrath
