He will always be by your side

Alan worked with me from June 2024 until May 2025. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for his hard work in my petition to partition case. He was always patient, gave me great advice when I didn’t know where to go from the options, and represented my case well. Thank you again for all you did for m...e, Alan. You went above and beyond with everything, and I will contact you should I ever need you in the future.

Condominium Law Expert

Alan was extremely knowledgeable with a complex issue regarding the legal documents of a condo association. His expertise helped coordinate swift resolution without the need for litigation. Throughout the process, he kept us informed on the latest updates in resolving the issue. I highly recommend hi...s services regarding condominium law.

Clear, confident, and efficient

We hired Alan to help us deal with a demand letter for unpaid rent after our landlord breached a settlement contract. He ably negotiated with our former landlord's attorney and called their bluff on several occasions. What we most appreciated about Alan's counsel was his dogged advocacy for our case... especially when we felt like caving. Alan was mindful of our time and responded only when necessary and as cogently as possible. You want this guy in your corner.

Excellent Legal Representation and a Calming Influence

Alan did wonderful work on our behalf in a difficult legal situation. His representation was excellent, and he prepared us for each step of the process. He understood that it was an emotional time for us and provided a calming influence as he discussed the facts and options of the proceedings. I r...ecommend him without hesitation!

Excellent Attorney

Alan Fanger is an excellent attorney. We had a real estate case that included multiple individuals (including attorneys), non-payment of a mortgage obligation, multiple cross-complaints and spanned almost 10 years. Through all of it, even when it was at its worst, Alan kept us informed and kept us ...on path to reach our final goal of fighting off the frivolous claims and counterclaims and collecting the debt owed to us with interest. Justice prevailed thanks to the dedication of this superb professional. We would highly recommend Attorney Fanger to anyone who needs to have their interests protected in a court of law as he is an excellent litigator. He is extremely trustworthy and earned our respect soon after he took over our case. He always took the time to explain what we would be faced with and always listened to us whenever we needed questions answered. Alan is thoroughly knowledgeable about real estate litigation. We are so glad that we were referred to Attorney Fanger when faced with the initial frivolous lawsuit. He guided us through that one and the following 6-8 years of subsequent claims from this group of cronies. Thanks Alan for all you did for us.
