Apryl Elizabeth Hand

Apryl represented us for our Park Slope co-op sale and was fantastic. She expertly navigated us through all the complications of a co-op sale, and boiled the legalese down to language novices could understand -- which as first time sellers we greatly appreciated! She made a very difficult experience ...much easier through her knowledge and great good humor. We highly recommend her!

Apryl handled a tricky real estate title search and closing for me and I could not be more pleased with her services. She is every bit the shrewd, knowledgeable professional that you want in your corner in a dicey negotiation - and as a bonus, her sense of humor and her ability to explain even the mo...st complex legal situations in plain English made the whole process downright enjoyable.

Apryl Hand was our lawyer for a complicated and drawn-out New York City cooperative purchase. If not for her expertise, responsiveness and dedication to get us to closing the deal would have fallen through a number of times. Apryl got us through it all - explaining our options at each step, keeping ...us from making expensive concessions, and hand holding when we needed it - to the point of editing some of our communications. At the closing, several of the other parties noted that we were lucky to have her as well - it's got to be rare that a lawyer can be a tough negotiator but not burn bridges with your future neighbors. In a word, she's terrific. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to make a real estate deal in New York City.

Apryl handled two of my purchases and a sale of my apartment. She was recommended by my broker and I was very happy the first time, so I used her again! She is very pleasant but professional and knowledgeable at the same time. She is a no non-sense, unpretentious lawyer with a sense of humor and i...t has always been a great experience for me. When we recently purchased an apartment, my partner was not able to make it to the closing for a complicated reason. Everyone was ready to leave the room thinking this will be postponed. But Apryl made it happen by acting quickly and getting together necessary document so that we could close without him. I will be definitely recommending her service to anyone I know!

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Hand on numerous real estate transactions. On each occasion, she was knowledgable, accessible, and kept me informed of her progress and any delays. She is very friendly and has a gift for translating "legalese." I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or work with ...her again.
