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.

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.

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).

The Closer

Chris was very helpful and responsive during the closing for my apartment. He answered all questions professionally and made the appointment a smooth process. I recommend him enthusiastically for anyone needing an attorney for a real estate transaction.

Great attorney

Being a foreigner and not familiar with the US Laws Chris Miao was the right attorney for me. He was referred to me by my real estate agent for which I am most grateful. He was kind and attentive, patiently responding to all of my questions. Throughout the entire closing process he was very thorough,... professional, looking for the best of my interest. He is capable of handling the most complicated and unexpected developments in a very calm manner. He is very reliable, takes care of everything by himself being this your money lender of condo management. I closed with a power of attorney and again, he did a great job closing smoothly and without any problems. I would highly recommend attorney Chris Miao.
