Not a good experience

I hired Lee Bergstein after a scuttled real estate transaction. I was disappointed with his work. I was disappointed with the results. Ineffectual. Poor communication. Poor use of our money. Steadily lost confidence during the two and a half year relationship. I felt he was intimidated by oppos...ing counsel. He was distracted. Not aggressive. Not a zealous advocate. The representation was an abject failure. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Real estate retention

Lee handled my residential real estate purchase. He was very responsive to my questions and attentive to the details of my deal.

Expert Closing Attorney

Thank you to Bergstein Flynn PLLC for assisting us in selling our home. Lee and Mike were very knowledgeable and always available to communicate and answer any and all questions we had. They aided in guiding a difficult closing to completion with great ease. We would highly recommend Bergstein Fly...nn PLLC as real estate attorneys.

Real Estate

My wife and I had an outstanding experience with Mike Flynn and Lee Bergstein in navigating the tedious and often confusing process of buying a home in New York, specifically Long Island. As first time homeowners we had a plethora of questions and the lawyers always responded to our questions prom...ptly and thoroughly. Their highly professional but friendly demeanor was much appreciated.

Excellent Representation

I retained Lee Bergstein to represent a former employee and friend on a case that had been tied up in the NYC Criminal Court system for well over a year. Within a few weeks Lee was able to negotiate a plea that would enable my friend to return to work. He also expedited the reinstatement of this ...individuals licences to expedite his return to work in two days. Both of us were extremely well please with Lee's attention to this case and with his negotiating skills. I would highly recommend Lee Bergstein.

  • 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.
