Excellent Attorney

Mr. Klose recently assisted us in the closing of our house in Nyack, NY. The purchase was a short sale that required a lot of attention and responsiveness, which Mr. Klose was able to provide us with. He is approachable yet professional, with a wide array of legal knowledge and experience. I would h...ighly recommend his services.

Mr. Peter Klose Review by a Client

I ran into Mr. Klose by accident. But I realized Immediately, that I can deal with this lawyer comfortably. He is knowledgeable, personable, ready to protect and help, eager to learn more details about your case and explaining everything to the client clearly. I hope I don't need a lawyer in the futu...re. But if one of my friends is unfortunate enough to need one, I will certainly recommend Mr. Klose.

...Everything A Lawyer Should Be!!

In my opinion, Peter is everything a lawyer should be. Normally I would use my sister who's a real estate attorney in New Jersey to handle my real estate transactions, but alas she's not licensed in New York. Nonetheless, I chose to go with Peter over other local attorneys because of his expertise in... rental law (I'm purchasing a two family), positive reviews online, and having read some of his informative and well written articles that appeared in The Nyack Villager. I can say without a doubt that I made a prudent choice. Peter has been excellent throughout what I can only imagine has been a worst case scenario Real Estate wise. He has played the role of "Good Cop" in dealing with my extremely contentious mortgage company, is extremely quick to respond to email and phone inquiries succinctly, and has been very patient and knowledgeable in all aspects of a real estate transaction that has encountered numerous setbacks including a probate situation as the seller had passed before we were able to close. I wanted to find a reliable local attorney that was competent, competitively priced, and one I could trust. My search is over. He will have my continued business going forward ...All this, and a wonderfully dry sense of Humor through the whole process. THANKS PETER!!!

Buying a house

Peter prevented me from buying many bad houses. He knows how to protect you from all the risks in choosing a house and in writing a solid healthy contract with all the right ryders and amendments. Don't expect any attorney to secure the right deal with the lender. Peter did not get involved in tha...t aspect, nor should he. Our close would have gone better if I had followed all his advice before the close. When closing, you must read all that you sign and fix any errors you find from the bank. I gave him a bonus, because he saved me so much money by teaching me how to catch issues before I hired an inspector. You can't put a price on knowing about major toxic threats in many areas around NYC.
