Michael C. Posner

I brought an NYC apartment from a divorced couple who were extremely difficult to work with and owned the apartment through a convoluted set of nested trusts. Michael worked through the mess (and headache!) to ensure clean title transfer when completing the deal. I may never fully understand the le...gal difficulties, but I have no doubt Michael did a bang up job. In fact, I hired him later three more times, including the sale and purchase of houses in New Jersey as he has license in NJ also! He will be the lawyer I totally depend on going forward!

So, you are separating from your spouse and the finances are crazy-making. Budget is tight. You make tough decisions. Decisions that make you feel like you may have ruined your life. And then, because why should you ever breathe easy, it starts to catch up with you. Getting a summons from one ...of my debt merchants was a nightmare of very bad timing. I felt trapped and guilty. I was caught! I wanted to be in a position to pay them, of course. But you never know where you are going to be years out from when you take a loan because you can't see your future. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. I knew I didn't want to be alone. Even though I was technically in the wrong, I needed to get the best outcome for me and my family. I could not afford to just roll over. Bankruptcy was NOT the best option for me. Negotiation was. And it is not easy to get an attorney to understand that. I miraculously found Michael in a flood of recommendations. He knew the system inside and out. Very experienced and did not sugar coat anything. He delivers the bad news totally straight. He went to bat for me against a powerful merchant with a vicious reputation. He did not back down. And he got me a deal I could live with. He gave me time to think when I needed it. He did not rush me beyond what the situation required. He treated me like an individual - a single mother in a total bind - and went into the fire a few times to make sure all options were explored. It's never easy to sort this kind of thing out. It's business, but when you're the little person, it's emotional. You feel threatened by a very powerful adversary. Michael gets in there, does not get snowed or shaken by powerful foes and does his best. He is always pleasant, too, with a healthy sense of humor. I would walk through hell with Michael again. I hope I don't have to, but I know who to call and who to recommend. Michael Posner. Call him now.

I found Michael's contact when looking up a legal service within the MetLife network because I needed a consultation for a small claim. Unlike my insurance agent, he looked at the small claim case from my perspective and gave me the impression he is professional and trustworthy. A few months later..., when I was looking for an apartment to buy and my offer was accepted, I immediately hired Michael as my lawyer. As expected, he is professional, trustworthy and diligent. Based on his due diligence information, I was able to negotiate down the originally agreed-upon purchase price a little bit. He's always very responsive to my numerous questions. Thank you Michael! Monique, the paralegal, who worked with Michael during the closing, is also someone I found pleasant to talk to. I would highly recommend Michael as your attorney.

We recently completed both purchase of a new condo and sales of our old apartment, and Michael helped us navigate through both processes successfully. He is an excellent lawyer who is responsive, patient, and to the point. His service is succinct but thorough, and his presence made the otherwise stre...ssful processes significantly less so. We really appreciated his expertise and enjoyed working with him, and would do so again in a heart beat.

I have worked with Michael a number of times to handle the purchase, refinance and sale of my coop in New York City, In a market filled with over-priced and unresponsive people, Michael really stands out. He is extremely helpful and responsive--I rarely waited more than a half hour to hear back from ...him and most times responses were in real time. There are attorneys who charge twice his rate and can't hold a candle to the way he treats clients. Michael is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in managing the confusing and stressful process of purchasing a co op in NYC and I knew that I could count on him to insure that everything was done properly. On my refi, when the building management company put my rate lock in jeopardy, Michael jumped in to save the day, worked with the mortgage lender, got the needed approvals and closed at his office in the nick of time. I will be forever grateful. That's why, when the time came to choose an attorney for the sale of my apartment, Michael was the natural choice. Once again, he took the stress out of the process and helped me to effect a timely and easy close, even though I was out of town on the close date. Many things about buying a co op are difficult. Choosing Michael Posner as my attorney was the easy part. I recommend him highly and would choose him again for my real estate legal needs.
