Quality, professional attorney

We are from PA and needed a NYC lawyer for a purchase of a co-op apartment. Charles was recommended by our real estate agent and he did not disappoint. He was professional, intelligent and highly responsive. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal advice on real estate and/or purchasing or selling property in NYC.

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney

I was given Charles as a recommendation several years ago and utilized him for the purchase and sale of two properties in NYC. He clearly had the expertise, was savvy regarding expediting process and made things pretty seamless from a client perspective. Having dealt with other RE lawyers in the past I have to say that Charles' client-service is fantastic as well as his responsiveness and attention to detail. Highly recommend him.

Residential Closing

Charles was very helpful in getting us to the finish line in closing our apartment. He was quick to respond and on top of everything even before I had to ask him about it. Charles was thorough and had no problem explaining the process which was new for us. He was fantastic!

Wonderful experience

We hired Attorney Charles Stark to represent us in our purchase of NYC apartment. Being from out of state in California, the purchase process at New York was completely new to us. He represented us both as buyer side attorney as well as lender attorney. Charles and his team were great and very professional throughout the process. Everything went very well. I would not hesitate to go to him in future and would also strongly recommend him to anyone.

Dream Team

We were in a significant time crunch to close on a NYC condo and Charles and his associate Brett worked tirelessly to get us to the closing table within an extremely short period of time. Both were extremely diligent and responsive and we closed seamlessly (on a blizzard day no less) and are happily moving into our new home. We very highly recommend them.

Excellent representation during a difficult process

We engaged Charles' firm on the recommendation of our real estate agent when we sought to purchase a coop property in New York City. During a long but ultimately successful process, we succeeded. However, we would have not been successful without the steadfast support of the firm due to some complicated issues encountered along the way.

Deal Closer.

Charles is extremely diligent, professional & reasonable. He has advised me on two deals (one commercial & one residential transaction) and his efficient use of time as well as awareness of relative factors for each transaction go unmatched.

High Recommendation for a Real Estate Lawyer

Charles Stark did terrific work on two NY office lease transactions for us in the past year. Very efficient and kept us apprised of events as they occurred. His legal fees were very reasonable. I would highly recommend his service.

Posted by Andrew | May 21, 2015

quick and painless

Charles recently handled the purchase and closing on my apartment and the process could not have gone any smoother. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects along the way and offered sage advice which helped me get the best possible deal I could have gotten. There were not any problems along the way and I am extremely grateful for his help and expertise.
