Not Good!

This lawyer is slow as can be, does not communicate, and is sloppy with contracts. He doesn't talk to the buyer's lawyer AT ALL! There are inconsistencies in his contracts, which he does not seem to read.

Posted by anonymous | June 01, 2017 | Hired Attorney

Straight forward process and understandable interaction

He made the process simple, I don't live in NYC anymore but he made the process easy and was efficient with my time while in the city. Good humored, gave what I feel was fair advice and seemed to have my best interest in mind while being objective to the process.

Excellent Work

Brad is a first rate real estate attorney. He has work with me on the sale and purchase of apartments in New York City. At all times he was professional and did excellent work. I recommend him without reservation.

I am beyond pleased with Brad Rabinowitz -incredibly bright ,assertive,hands on attorney who gets the job done!

Brad has worked with me and my husband on several transactions. He is an intelligent, caring attorney who exhibits the best qualities you would want in a lawyer. We highly recommend him.

First Rate Experience

Purchasing property in NYC can be confusing, overwhelming, draining, and just a little bit terrifying. We were so thankful to have someone with the competencies of Brad to work with us during this process. He was, in many ways, our "security blanket." He was clear, straightforward, insightful, and... knowledgable. He was amazingly responsive, patient with our questions, and direct in negotiations with other attorneys. Plus, he's just an all-around good guy. We won't do a future contract / closing without him!
