Highly recommend

Chris was my attorney for buying a co-op apartment in NYC. He was quick in responding to all of my questions throughout the process, and I really felt like he truly understand the complicated issues in a co-op transaction. He worked well with all of the parties involved and was extremely efficient an...d professional. Having Christ as my attorney made my first-time coop buying experience a lot smoother. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone thinking of going through the process.

Excellent Home Buying Experience

Chris was my attorney in my recent purchase of a co-op apartment in downtown Manhattan. From start to finish my experience working with Chris was excellent. He answered all of my questions promptly, provided invaluable insights and was thorough when reviewing contracts and walking me through the clos...ing process. I highly recommend Chris and appreciated his quick response times and willingness to take time answering all questions I had about the process (particularly helpful as a first time buyer).

Knowledgeable, Experienced, Compassionate!!! Plus Huge Patience

I have to say I was fortunate to have Chris as my attorney for purchasing my co-op. The purchase took 6 months to closing. It's a nightmare for anyone if have to deal with some people who were born to make things difficult. Plus, as a first home buyer, I did not even have a buyer agent. I had no id...ea what I should and need to do during that. BUT, I was so lucky to have Chris, who is Knowledgeable, Experienced, and Compassionate!!! Chris helped me all the way through, exhibiting a huge patience. Answered my tons of questions, replied my calls and emails. Having him to do the job is the luckiest thing I have in my purchase. I strongly recommend him to anyone who are desperate to have a good attorney.

Detailed and Responsive

Chris did a detailed job on the diligence of my mortgage closing. He even help review some paper work submission to the condo even though he didn't have to. He responded to e-mails promptly and was flexible with his schedule.
