We have retained him over the last 30 years for a number of real estate transactions and estate document filing both for ourselves and for estates where we have been appointed executors

Home Closing

A Edward Major was a complete gentlemen every step of the way. Mr. Major was honest, extremely hard working, punctual, and demonstrated extreme professionalism throughout. With the help of A. Edward, my wife and I were able to close quickly and with great confidence. I strongly recommend Mr. Major, a...nd look forward to working with him again in the future.

Great Lawyer and even a better Guy!

The lawyer secured a hold on a house that someone was trying to take through divorce. Always the gentleman and will always work the utmost for his clients. It is always pleasure to work with Tony Major.

A Edward Major

Mr. Major has provided superb legal advice to me, my wife, and daughter on the purchase of a condominium apartment in Brooklyn, New York, in 2010 and the selling of this same apartment in 2016. He provided legal advice on all phases of these transaction and represented us at the closings. Both of t...hese transactions were accomplished smoothly and to our complete satisfaction. Mr. Major is a person of the highest integrity and professional responsibility.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
