Extremely knowledgable , honorable and empathetic!
My wife and I were in an extremely difficult and emotional situation with regards to the short-sale for our home. We enlisted the help of Seth Arnowitz who provided us amazing guidance, expertise, and a healthy dose of empathy while navigating us through the intricacies of the short-sale process. We honestly could not have made it through this frustrating and emotionally draining process without Seth's help. Anyone in a similar position should not think twice- simply pick up the phone and engage the services of Seth Arnowitz!
We have been working with Seth on our foreclosure for a couple of years. His attorney "bedside manner" is great. Seth is always ready to speak to us and let us know what is going on. He knows the process and understands how the banks work and has done just what he said he would do. Seth is the consummate professional and completely ethical and great to work with. I've recommended him to a few friends with mortgage issues.

He Looked After Us
I genuinely can't say enough good things about Mr. Arnowitz. He really, really looked after our best interests. He is the benevolent lawyer figure you see in movies who doesn't just rubber stamp contracts, but goes out of his way to smooth the legal potholes for you. He is the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar. I was referred to him by two different friends who felt the same.

Successful short sale with a personal touch
Seth provided thoughtful, professional and caring counsel as our attorney in the successful short sale of our home.
His legal and administrative team provided excellent support and timely communications with our lender and our buyers’ representatives.
Our real estate transaction was complicated not only as financial deal, but also by occurring during the Covid pandemic throughout 2020.
We highly recommend Seth Arnowitz — our attorney — to anyone seeking wise counsel in their real estate business affairs.
Sincerely,
Well-Served Home Sellers

Did What We Thought Couldn't Be Done
Seth handled our foreclosure professionally, with patience and understanding. There were times when we thought we would lose our home but Seth kept pushing and after years we were able to stay in our home and have our children finish growing up there. Seth is a great negotiator and knows the court system and laws intimately. We are still there and happy thanks to Seth. He has also assisted us in other real estate transactions with sound, smart advice. For any foreclosure (hopefully never again) or real estate I highly recommend Seth Arnowitz.

A remarkably experience with Attorney Seth J. Arnowitz
I’ve been in the Executive Search Industry for many years.
In the course of running a business, I’ve hired lawyers for a variety of reasons. Some were good, some not as good.
However, the manner in which Seth Arnowitz treated my wife and I
was effective, insiteful and pleasant. However, the most startling aspect of his professionalism was an element of compassion I never before received from any attorney.
Seth took the time to listen patiently to our situation. When we left his office, our anxiety was lessened considerably. We knew we had an ally that was capable and would do whatever he could, to help.
Michelle, his Assistant, was incredibly understanding and comforting. Her advice and assistance was generously given. She freely gave of her time and knowledge in a fashion far beyond the requirements of her job.
I was very fortunate to be referred to Seth and would strongly recommend him to anyone in need sound legal guidance.

Seth is a miracle worker!
I have only positive comments to say about Seth and his colleagues
Seth worked with me to successfully complete a short sale of my home in New Canaan. During this process, Seth interacted with numerous constituencies to resolve my situation - banks, local/state/federal tax authorities, real estate brokers, court officials and multiple lawyers involved in the short-sale process.
Seth's calm demeanor, patience, ability to multi-task and manage people, personable nature and results-oriented focus clearly distinguishes him from other lawyers in his field.
I highly recommend anyone looking to hire the best lawyer in Fairfield County to resolve a potential foreclosure to speak to Seth and his colleagues at his firm. He's a miracle worker!

Thumbs up for Seth on real estate transaction
I would absolutely recommend Seth if you are looking for an attorney for a real estate transaction. Seth was recently my attorney when I sold my home and purchased a new home. Seth helped me successfully navigate some very unusual zoning complications that occured during my transaction. He always explained things clearly I feel confident he was operating in my best interests during the process.

The Most Competent In Fairfield County
Mr. Arnowitz helped us purchasing our house in Ridgefield, CT back in 2014 and he did a tremendously good job for us. From first consultation to closing he answered all of our questions clearly and took great care of the agreement and related paperwork on behalf of us. On closing day he showed great competence by checking each and every document and took protective action on one of the requests of the lender for bypassing one of the requirements resulting in protecting our interest in the property.
A year after the closing he let us know about a great opportunity and offer available in the market for refinancing our house which we did and saved over $210,000 off the total amount we're supposed to pay back the lender for our first mortgage loan.
I keep recommending him to everyone I know who's shopping for a house purchase and so far 3 of my friends/acquaintances did or has been working with him, they're happy with him too.
I strongly recommend him for your real estate transactions.

Real estate
Mr Arnowitz helped me through the sale of my condo. He negotiatied successfully with my mortgage holder - getting them to forgive costly problems on the property and pointing me in the right direction to resolve tax questions. He and his team made me feel comfortable through the whole process.

A wonderful team, Attorney Seth and staff
Attorney Seth Arnowitz promised me that he would not allow my mortgage company to take away my home. On July 21, 2015 I met with attorney Arnowitz at his firm where I signed my signature on approved documents from my mortgage company. He has kept his promise. I am still a homeowner today thanks to God and the help of Attorney Arnowitz and staff

The Perfect Attorney
I worked with Seth on the sale of my condo and I'm glad I did. He kept me informed every step of the way; returned phone calls promptly ( and patiently) because I called him constantly with questions I forgot to ask the last time. He was always responsive and handled my case successfully.
Seth was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.
