Connecticut's best real estate lawyer

Seth Arnowitz Law Offices have represented me in several mortgage financing transactions. Attorney Arnowitz and his staff provide outstanding service, consistently providing clear and understandable instructions, and prompt follow-through. He has also helped mitigate issues involving real estate cont...racts, fees, and terms--and has exceptional knowledge of condominium rules and customary practices in Connecticut.

Excellent Real Estate Attorney

We've been using Seth and his staff to assist us with all our real estate transactions for twenty years or so. He is everything you want an attorney to be: punctual, knowledgeable, thorough, efficient, excellent communicator, responsive. He has always given us thoughtful and useful advice. I would re...commend him and his staff with full confidence and enthusiasm. Can't imagine a better attorney.

Best attorney in Fairfield County

This is the second property my family purchased with Seth and his team. Seth has excellent communication, great attention to detail and really is just a pleasure. Seth sets the standard of what a legal experience should be.

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.

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!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
