Forest Hills / Queens / NYC Coop sale / Power of Attorney

Devang Shah provided prompt, detailed legal support through every step of the closing process for our Forest Hills cooperative apartment. He efficiently assisted in the rapid resolution of last minute issues presented by the buyer. When I thought I would arrange power of attorney on my own, he even p...rovided supporting documents to assist me (in the end, we ended up requesting him to properly execute the power of attorney because his rate was extremely reasonable). We highly recommend Devang Shah and will certainly turn to him for further legal advice if needed.

Excellent RE Attorney

If anyone is looking for a competent, gracious, and professional RE attorney, I would highly recommend Devang C. Shah ([email protected]). I am very pleased with the services he provided for the recent purchase of my apartment in Forest Hills. He is very knowledgeable about RE law and is ver...y patient and will provide very clear answers to all your questions. He is also well organized, extremely helpful and professional. He even helped the seller’s attorney, guiding him through the whole process and practically did all the work for him, and he did it with such grace. Devang is an angel!

If he wasn't so good at precticing law, you wouldn't know he was a lawyer.

Devang C. Shah is a kind, warm, centered, understanding man, who also happens to be an excellent Real Estate Lawyer. He explains everything, goes out of his way to be convenient to his clients and sees and solves problems before they really ever happen. I'm a areally streesful place right now and w...hen I saw that there was something, unexpected in the seller's contract I got quite upset. Devang remained calm, quickly soothing me and assuring me that he would take care of the problem (which he did). Everything has been proceeding smoothly ever since. i would surely recommend devang to anyone, and use him again in matters of Real Estate, or indeed any other area of law that he practices.

Best lawyer Ever

Devang Shah represented me three times in past. Recently when I had refinanced my home and when I purchased property in the past, he had represented me. Devang Shah is the best lawyer I have ever seen. Whenever I had any questions, I e-mail/call him and he responds as soon as he can. I can always cou...nt on him to fix any problem I have. I highly recommend Devang Shah.
