Our closing attorney for 1st home!

As one can imagine the process of buying your first home is a scary undertaking. My husband and I wanted to make sure we would select a great attorney to help us along the journey. After an extensive search and reading many reviews, we selected Peter and it turned out to be a great decision! From the... first point of contact with Peter we knew it was going to be the right fit. During the mortgage process a few issues with our lender came up but Peter acted quickly in advising us and was reassuring. Peter was prompt with all of his responses whether it was via email or by phone. At times he'd even respond before I got the chance to log out of my email account! Towards the nearing of our closing, the day before to be exact, things got interesting again with our lender but Peter was consistently there for us when seeking his advise. He is personable, professional, and understanding. We wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a real estate attorney.

Excellent Attorney, Without Hesitation

I was in need of a local NY attorney to represent me in a pending lawsuit but knew of none. I turned to the internet, was impressed with the reviews I read of Mr. Klose and reached out to him. I am extremely please with my decision to hire him to represent me. Mr. Klose challenged me, was very pro...fessional, knew the playing field and to my surprise was extremely efficient with my time and his. When I received my invoices there was absolutely no ounce of fluff. When I made some suggestions I was surprised at some of his responses along the lines of "I can take your money but we don't have to do that"; Imagine that? More shocking came months later when he reached out to me suggesting that the case looks like it was going no further, which was a victory for me and therefore he should return the balance of my retainer. Again, imagine that? I received my bulk of my retainer. While I'm delighted and surprised that I did, I cannot emphasize enough, Mr. Klose's professionalism and communication with detail. Next time I need a lawyer, without hesitation, Mr. Klose is my lawyer.

Excellent Counseling

My wife and I have worked with Peter on a litigation and 2 home closings and his support has been outstanding on all counts. We're both litigators by trade so we tend to be a bit demanding and Peter was always responsive and did an excellent job. He received high marks in expertise, negotiating ski...lls, and counseling. I recommend him without reservation.

Excellent at what he does!

Working with Peter was a breeze. He is very knowledgable about real estate laws and he made the closing process quick and simple. I was able to complete all paperwork with him before closing through email, which worked best for me and my hectic schedule. He challenged the lenders and sellers attorney...s when needed which helped my confidence level in him. He is very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Peter for making my home purchase so comfortable and easy!!!!

Compassionate and dedicated

Peter has helped my family with several real estate closings now. Every time he proves to be eternally available (via email, cell, you name it) and dedicated to getting the best outcome for us. He puts in the hours and never minds doing so. He fights for our cause and allows us to sleep better kno...wing he's supporting us and on our side. He's very intelligent and knows the laws. He's punctual and professional. What more could you ask from your attorney.
