Professionalism at its best

I feel very lucky to work with an attorney like Evans. He helped me for my recent condo purchase in Brooklyn. He is truly is a subject matter expert who is very knowledgeable in real restate related legal matters. Not only is he knowledgeable in his trades but also is very communicative, efficient an...d professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell real estate.

Extremely organized and efficient

I had the pleasure of working with Legros law firm through the process of purchasing an affordable unit from the city's housing program. Home buying is a very daunting and complicated task, and when buying from the housing program the amount of paperwork could be even more challenging. Legros and his... team are extremely professional and organized, and they made sure that everything is in order and prepared so that the closing could be as smooth as possible. No questions were ever unanswered and he took steps even further to offer suggestions in the whole process. The strongest impression he left me is that he is definitely someone who's very experienced and extremely efficient and clearly knows what he's doing. As a result I was able to close on my home quickly and smoothly. I had the pleasure of watching him work on closing day and it's obvious how super organized, well-prepared and efficient he is. Definitely recommended!

Buyer Closing Lawyer for Affordable Housing in NYC

Legros Law Firm was one of the lawyer provided by the affordable housing program, and he knows what he is doing throughout the process. The reason for my five star was simply due to the follow up after the closing. There were some issues that sponsor did not fix within the time frame, and Evan's call... me to follow up on this matter, and he reach out to involved parties to address this concern. You may not get advice as to what is important because he believes that's like a liability issue, which I understand. You have to prepare your questions for him ahead of time, and he can answer your question, but you can't just go in there and expect him to tell you what he think is important even though I think he could. Overall, I think is fair to say he did an outstanding job as a buyer attorney for closing on NYC Affordable Housing Program.

The Best ..

I have been working with Legros firm for more than three and a half years now. They were able to get me the O1 visa, and my green card in a very short period of time. They made the impossible happens so quickly and so professionally, a 100% success in my case. An amazing law firm that I highly recom...mend, trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, will keep you informed all the way, and they will make it happen at the end.
