MORRIS|HARDWICK|SCHNEIDER OFFERS REAL ESTATE CLOSING SERVICES TO BOOMING HISPANIC POPULATION

ATLANTA, Sept. 18, 2007 - As Atlanta's Hispanic population continues to grow at a record pace, Morris|Hardwick|Schneider, one of the largest real estate closing law firms in the nation with 37 offices in Atlanta, has established new services to help Spanish-speaking home buyers and sellers understand and navigate the often intimidating real estate closing process.

Atlanta has experienced the most rapid Hispanic growth rate among the nation's top 20 most populous metro areas (U.S. Census Bureau, 2003) and has ranked fifth in the nation as a domestic migration magnet for Hispanics (Hispanic Business, 2004). About 50 percent of Georgia's Hispanic population calls Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb and Fulton counties home (Nielsen Media Research, 2005).

"As the number of Hispanic Atlantans continues to increase, so has the number of Hispanic Atlantans who are choosing to become homeowners," said Nat Hardwick, managing partner of Morris|Hardwick|Schneider. "M|H|S goes the extra mile to ensure that our Spanish-speaking clients are comfortable with and understand the closing process."

Morris|Hardwick|Schneider provides clients with useful information written in Spanish, including closing checklists for buyers and sellers, and a Spanish brochure that answers questions most commonly asked. Also, the firm plans to launch a Spanish version of its Web site.

"The language barrier is often the most challenging obstacle native Spanish-speakers must overcome to own a home," said Hardwick. "That is why we not only provide our clients with literature written in Spanish that they can understand, but we also have a special department of Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff members dedicated to serving our Hispanic clients."

Morris|Hardwick|Schneider currently employs two attorneys, both of Hispanic decent, who focus their practices on managing real estate closings for people who speak Spanish. M|H|S offers a dedicated phone line manned by a Spanish-speaking staff person who is ready to answer any questions or direct calls and continually serves the Spanish-speaking community by conducting educational seminars on the home-buying process.

"Morris|Hardwick|Schneider is one of the largest real estate closing firms in the United States and has experienced exceptional growth in the past years," said Hardwick. "Although our firm is large and can offer many resources to help resolve any problems clients may face, we will never forget the importance of serving each individual as if they were our most important client. We are glad to extend this promise - which is also our guiding principle - to the Hispanic population."
