Steven H. Ebbin

I had a truly great experience working with Steve and Diana on my co-op purchase. They were incredibly responsive and thorough throughout the process. No matter how many questions I had, they were always willing to talk things through—sometimes even in the evening—to make sure I had timely answers an...d felt comfortable every step of the way. They handled the relationship with the sellers really effectively and made everything feel easy and well-managed. Their genuine enthusiasm and practical guidance went beyond the legal basics (including helpful reminders like changing the locks), which I really appreciated. Steve and Diana are a fantastic team, and I highly recommend working with them!

Steve and Diana were diligent, helpful, responsive and friendly working through a succession of unexpected issues to make our real estate purchase happen literally on the last day possible. They even rushed to the bank in person to get the paperwork there on time. Thank you both very much for all you...r assistance - highly recommended!

I needed a real estate lawyer for my first ever purchase of property - an apartment in Brooklyn. Both Steve Ebbin and his Paralegal, Diana were amazing. Diana is who I dealt with until closing. She was so patient and answeres all question via phone or email, every step of the way, including going thr...ough the contract section by section. Steve was wonderful during the closing where seemingly thousands of papers had to be signed, explaining everyone last one. He was calm and kind. In addition, they have both been available to answer questions since the closing, as the actually closing entailed an overwhelming amount of information and they understand assistance may be needed afterwards. I also found the flat fee cost for coop purchase more than reasonable. Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience and would highly recommend this legal practice!

Although you can't tell from the sparkling review that I gave Steve, I'm a very tough grader. If I had encountered even a single issue during my interactions, he would not be getting five stars from me. I worked with Steve and his fantastic assistant Diana for two separate real estate transaction...s over the course of the last four years. I've never found the team to be less than excellent. During my initial house purchase, it was clear that Steve knew exactly what was going on and he was patient enough to explain all the necessary parts to me very clearly. It was also clear that he was known, liked, and respected by everyone in the room, which also seems really important. During my most recent house sale, the entire transaction was carried out with a minimum of fuss. I was kept updated every step of the way, despite being unable to be physically present for most of the proceedings. Everything was concluded right on schedule. I don't have a lot of experience working with lawyers, but I've been told by friends that I am extremely lucky to not have a single complaint. If I encounter a legal issue in NYC again, Steve and Diana will be the first team that I contact.

I was referred to Mr. Ebbin's office by a piranha of a lawyer in Westchester who had been highly recommended to me. He said that given my property was in Brooklyn, he recommended that I work with Mr. Ebbin, of whom he thought highly. Mr. Ebbin and his staff (I spoke most frequently with Diana)... were responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. It turned out that our closing required a very capable team, as we ran into one hurdle after another. They not only handled the legal work, but they advised us on a host of other issues, so that we always knew our options. We were buying directly from owners, who were quite difficult and who tried to back out of the deal several times. Mr. Ebbin saw to it that that didn't happen. Additionally, the owners didn't really know what they were doing and as we didn't have a realtor to help, the law offices stepped in to explain dynamics to us (we were first time home buyers) and smooth out the process. They never complained about the extra work. They were always a joy to communicate with and when the going got rough, they stepped up their efforts. After all the work that they had done, I braced myself for a giant legal bill. I was glad to see that it was fairly priced. I feel very bless that I was able to work with them. I've always sought to work with capable people, and everyone I interacted with in that office was just that. I guess Mr. Ebbins feels the same way, because in addition to his considerable ability, the people under him are great.
