rating for Katherine Zalantis, from a grateful client

Kathy worked with us for months on a challenging and difficult case, to get approval to demolish our Scarsdale home. It had been designated as historically significant by the Committee for Historic Preservation, and as a consequence we were unable to sell it at any price for over 2 years. Her str...ategy was unique, brilliant, and perfectly executed . We succeeded in getting approval to demolish the house through her efforts, where another lawyer had not. Her fees were as expected, and were always fair. We were totally satisfied with her and her support staff. They were highly professional, always available and responsive, and a delight to work with. I recommend highly, without reservation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
