Wonderful landlord lawyer

We had a real problem with our tenant. Edward walked us through all our options to solve the problem and he was very patient with us. He wrote an agreement. It was not your boiler plate agreement because the agreement had to be tailored to our tenant. The tenant left after signing the agreement.

Amazing, immediate, actionable counsel

I panicked after signing my first lease in New York City and Teddy responded immediately—hearing me out, assuaging my concerns, and giving me sound, actionable, easy-to-understand advice I was able to put to use that same day. New York real estate is incredibly intimidating and I feel fortunate to ha...ve found Teddy. Cannot recommend him highly enough.
