Excellent

I could not have asked for a better real estate lawyer. He guided me through my condo sale with wisdom and patience. He created a sense of calm during the process despite intermittent real estate chaos. At every turn he was extremely responsive and informative.

Extremely Good Experience

Chris was great at leading me through the contract review and closing process. He was very knowledgeable and prompt. Chris made the home buying process very easy and stress-free.

Chris is terrific!

Over a year ago, I was on a mission to find a reliable and responsive real estate attorney to assist me with the sale of my NYC condo. I did a comprehensive research (online) and must have contacted at least 5 different attorneys. I picked Chris for a variety of different reasons, but what resonated ...with me the most is his responsiveness and the clarity about his role when we first spoke on the phone. I felt very comfortable with him and this continued until my condo was sold. I was not able to be present at the closing so I gave Chris Power of Attorney to represent me at the closing. All went well and am now enjoying retirement life. I strongly recommend Chris, without any reservations.

Efficient, Responsive and Informative

Chris was our attorney for our first home out in Long Island. He is very dedicated with his job. He is willing to work with our tight schedule and prompt in replying questions that we have in regards to the purchase of the property. We are first time home buyers and we are not entirely familiar w...ith the process and documentations involved in the process. He will take the time to summarize and highlight important points that we have to look into. Also, he is very knowledgeable with the industry that makes the closing process so smooth. I will surely hire him again in further and highly recommend him. If you are looking for an attorney that is responsive, knowledgeable, effective and provide update in a timely manner, then you should consider him. Sincerely,

Efficient, Responsive, Reasonable

I hired Chris for my first home purchase after talking to about 5 different lawyers in the NYC area. I chose him as I felt he would offer the best service at a reasonable rate. I was assured of the soundness of his experience as he has done a lot of work in real estate, in particular new construction...s and was already familiar with the building in which I was buying. I also appreciated his communication style - straightforward, timely, and efficient for getting a first time home-buyer up to speed on the need-to-know.
