Excellent, Effective and Patient
Anthony represented me with my Condo sale. Throughout the entire process he was conscientious and patient. I had one offer and we started to the whole process then that deal fell through and Anthony was very patient and reassuring. Then when the second offer came in, Anthony approach it diligently. He did a lot of negotiating and follow-ups with the Buyer's attorney to ensure I am happy with the results and not just accept an offer out of frustration. Anthony's guidance was one that helped me made the right decision. My interest was well represented.

Helped Us Sell Two Properties Simultaneously
Anthony worked with us to sell two properties simultaneously. He handled all of the paperwork for the sales including collaborating with the Buyer's lawyer, our Realtor, and various other entities. He made the process smooth and painless, and was compassionate as the homes were in our family for over 100 years. He responded to phone calls and emails promptly, even outside "normal" working hours. We would definitely recommend Anthony, and would certainty work with him again.

EXCELLENT Attorney!!
Anthony has worked with my husband and me on 2 property sales and 3 purchases. He is meticulous - not a detail escapes him, and he is extremely vigilant in terms of protecting clients. He spells out everything and always makes certain that you know all your options before making a decision. We completely, completely trust Anthony, because he has never steered us wrong. Over the last few years, our financial position has grown stronger because of the real estate we have bought and the guidance he has given us. You could not find a better lawyer!
