Expert in Co-op Purchases and First Time Home Buyers!!

As a first time home buyer, trying to navigate purchasing a co-op in New York, Louis was crucial in informing me about all the nuances and deciphering all the legal jargon to help me feel comfortable along the process. Although it was a long road to get to closing, Lou stayed patient and helped keep ...me calm even though I'm certainly prone to freaking out about everything. I can't thank Lou enough for handling everything pre, during, and after the whole co-op purchase process! It really made all the difference in making my first real estate purchase a positive experience.

Louis Petralia

Louis Petralia has been my family’s lawyer for several decades. He is highly competent, thorough, approachable, responsive and has always had our best interest in mind. He has handled everything from real estate closings to wills, powers of attorney and estates. Having him as my family’s attor...ney gives me a great deal of comfort and piece of mind.

Client

Lou Petralia is a smart, talented and honest lawyer. Driven by integrity and the priority of ensuring he protects his clients, he will be candid with you all the while offering expert legal counsel. Lou has helped our family through many legal matters, estate matters, purchase of a new home, selling ...of an apartment and much more. We would have been lost without Lou’s guidance and expertise. In addition, if Lou is not an expert in a legal matter, he will point you in the right direction. Never leaving you to fend for yourself, he will introduce you to credible and trustworthy resources to help you with any matters you or your family are navigating. We are grateful to have found Lou and we hope he never retires !

Real Estate Attorney

I have used Lou as my bank's closing attorney for over 20 years now and I could not recommend any other attorney more highly. He is the best in doing contracts, leases and going over the due diligence of a Co-Op transaction - whether selling or buying! The more complicated the transact...ion is - the more reason you need him on your side! ... Simply the Best!
