Teddy was great to work with. He skillfully held our hands through a first home buying experience and I will definitely use him in the future.

The Best Lawyer (not kidding)

Teddy knows his stuff!!! hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever come into contact with. Knows NYC real estate BETTER than anyone in town. I’ve used him multiples times for residential leases, commercial leases, closing documents... you name it! Great guy easy to talk to and reasonable. Look no further!...

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.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Lawyer

Ted assisted us with an SRO issue for a property that we were purchasing. He was very knowledgable and responsive. I would highly recommend him.
