Areas of Practice

Residential & Commercial Transactions

 

We represent purchasers, sellers, doctors and other business owners, handling their real estate transactions specializing in cooperative apartments and condominium units in buildings ranging from the more affordable to high luxury. We also are experienced in transactions involving townhouses, doctor’s offices and commercial tenancies.  We have worked with numerous repeat clients over many years, as clients prize the personal, detailed attention paid to their transactions as well as the professional expertise inherent in our legal services.   This kind of client loyalty reflects the dedication and quality our firm consistently delivers.

For any transaction to go smoothly, precise attention must be paid from the inception of the deal to performing a thorough ‘due diligence investigation’ to reaching a successful closing.  Regardless of the size and complexity of any particular transaction, each client deserves that his or her transaction be treated with utmost integrity and enthusiastic representation.  Specializing in cooperative apartments, condominium units and townhouses, the firm is fully able to work with real estate brokers, lenders, managing agents, cooperative and condominium boards, governing municipal departments, architects, engineers/contractors, and tax advisors/financial planners in order to negotiate the deal, hammer out contract terms and reach a successful closing.  Our clients regularly recognize our firm’s efforts as having been the difference in making the deal successful. 

Trust/Estate Planning and Administration

 

We represent individuals, trustees, and executors in the planning and administration of trusts and estates.  In planning and organizing an individual’s assets during their lifetime, our firm aims to assist in fulfilling an individual’s wishes and to minimize costs and taxes after death.  Careful planning can assure important issues such as distributing your assets as you wish, appointing the guardians for your minor children or naming the fiduciaries to handle your estate or trust, planning for incapacity and old age, and avoiding family disputes.  Planning in conjunction with your tax advisor or financial advisor is an important ‘team’ approach that often yields the most advantageous plan, given a client’s specific needs, tax considerations and other factors.

Personal Matters and Advocacy

 

Above all, our clients entrust their most important transactions and personal matters with our firm, deserving our highest level of professionalism and our unwavering commitment to serve your interests.
