Incredible Lawyer, Great Personality, Terrific Service. I wish there were more stars to give!

I was a real estate lawyer at a large, international, NYC law firm for much of my career. I now own my own private equity real estate firm, which owns several million square feet of commercial real estate. Ted is as skilled and knowledgeable as any of the senior-most partners at any law firm I've e...ver worked with. He carefully reviewed our contract, title report, and all other attendant docs, including loan docs; he negotiated a great deal for us, and did it in a pleasant way. He's a terrific lawyer, is fairly priced, and is an absolute pleasure to work with; a great sense of humor. This is our family's second transaction with Ted and I'll be certain to recommend him to others and serve as a reference for him anytime. We are going to use him on our next personal deal for sure.

Professionalism even under pressure

Mr. Cotter helped me get through a nightmarish closing process. My lender made a catastrophic mistake, putting my deposit at risk, however due to Ted's diligence and persistence we were able to secure another lender and satisfy our end of the closing in time. Ted stayed cool even given the circumsta...nce and talked me through the entire process. Thanks to him and the professionals at his firm I was able to close on a property at the height of the pandemic. Don't think twice about calling Ted for sound and reliable advice.

Superior customer service

Ted Cotter was extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the duration of my apartment closing.  He instills confidence that things will be completed in a timely and efficient manner.  I would strongly recommend Ted to handle your real estate transaction needs.

I have a growing family Ted & his staff gave us everything we needed to get in place to make sure our assets we allocated properly. We hired him for a will, health care proxy and power of attorney and couldn't be happier.
