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 m...ost 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 esta...te 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!

Professional knowledgeable

Seth is an expert and more than an attorney, he is a wonderful person. He answered all my questions without rushing. If anyone is considering hiring an attorney, look no further.

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 exp...lained 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.
