Brian Michael Tracz

Once he receives your money, good luck trying to talk to him! Dawn, his secretary, will say he is in a closing or meeting everytime you call. Acts like the client is bothering them and want to get you off the phone ASAP. He will write one line answer in emails. Also not honest about fees. Never provi...ded a written invoice for service and deducted extra money when deal didn't go through that wasn't disclosed.

We have now worked with attorney Brian Tracz in 4 transactions, and have been so impressed with his practice. Not only is Brian incredible at what he does, but he and his staff are exceptionally kind. They humanize the experience by assuring you that your best interest is their top priority. We can’t... recommend Brian and his team enough. A+

Choosing a lawyer among a sea of qualified attorneys can be a challenge. However, I was advised to hire Brian and I heard about his excellent reputation in real estate field. During the process of buying my new property, Brian was very proactive in protecting my rights and in providing quick and reli...able feedback and answers to questions and inquiries. Additionally, Brian displayed excellent negotiation skills in settling any conflict between me and the seller. He’s a detailed oriented and can spend as much time as you want, to cover and let you fully understand any item in the contract or any legal related document. I was pleased with his knowledge about the law and his sincere and honest guidance during the process of purchasing my new property. Especially, at closing, when he explained to me every single document and clarified anything that I need to understand. I highly recommend him to future clients without hesitation!

I was in the business for many years and often recommended Brian to clients -- all of them always loved Brian. For me, just closed on my own property -- everything went smoothly, from negotiations, to contract terms, to signing, and the closing is actually less stressful because of Brian's aura, but ...importantly, because he knows exactly what he is doing. It all gets done right. At the end of the day, a very stressful process is made very much less stressful -- and not all attorneys can do that. To that end, I plan on hiring Brian again when the time comes, and to me, that is the best recommendation. Good luck on your deal!

We hired Brian to handle the closing on our New York City apartment. During our initial phone conversation with him, he took the time to talk us through the process. Together we did a quick estimation of the capital gains taxes we could expect to pay the next year. This time spent put us at ease—i...t provided a clear picture of the path ahead of us. He remained patient while we wended our way through the sales, contract and coop board approval processes. The contract (and rider) which he wrote contained a few clauses we never requested—clauses which turned-out to be very helpful for us in the end. Although he held the buyers deposit for us (in escrow), he never asked us for any upfront payment—instead taking his (fair) commission out of the final sales proceeds. The day of the closing, he lead us through the paperwork, explaining what everything was and bringing a light, jovial mood to the proceedings. We had a fairly simple, uncomplicated sales transaction (with parties which got along well). Nevertheless, we feel that Brian served us well and would certainly hire him again if the opportunity arose. His assistant, Dawn, was also efficient, quick and very professional. Thanks for the good job, Brian!
