Top notch attorney

I chose Peter Chang to represent me to buy and own a coop because of his experience, reputation, and familiarity and relationship with banks and he was on-point with all aspects of the process and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the legal dimensions of the contract, sale/purchase and process... all the way to and through contract. I would recommend Peter to anyone who is looking to have an exceptional legal experience for the most important purchase in their lifetime.

Fantastic Lawyer

Peter was a best-case scenario for legal representation. He represented me in absentia by power of attorney in the sale of my co-op in NYC. He expertly coordinated between a number of difficult parties - the people who were purchasing a co-op from me, the management company, and multiple real-e...state agents. He was able to pull everything together quickly to meet with a number of tight deadlines. Communication was clear and fast - Peter responded to all of my emails and calls quickly and handled everything that needed to be handled professionally - our sale went perfectly. Thanks you Peter!

Highly recommended

Peter helped us with the process to purchase our first home, a co-op in Manhattan. He was very knowledgable throughout the process, informative and always prompt to answer any and all questions we had along the way. I would highly recommend Peter as an attorney.

Home purchase in Port Washington

Peter represented us as first time home buyers in the Port Washington area. We had numerous questions throughout the process and Peter provided very prompt and detailed legal advice whenever we needed legal counsel. During the contract negotiation phase, he was very thorough in explaining the risks... and had a keen understanding of which contract provisions were market and which were unreasonable. The market in Port Washington was very seller-friendly but despite our relative bargaining position, Peter did an excellent job of advancing our position. He was also very involved with our mortgage lender and our mortgage processor also commented on the fact that Peter was very easy to work with. I feel that the signing to closing process was a lot easier due to Peter's significant involvement. In addition to legal services, he is clearly very knowledgeable in the real estate business as he was very helpful in recommending some very excellent service providers (home inspector, exterminator, insurance agent, etc.), all of which we had an excellent experience with.

Highly Recommend

Peter Chang Assisted me with a closing of a house I was purchasing. Because this was my first time ever purchasing a home, the whole situation was stressful. Peter was referred to me by a friend and I would highly recommend him. He is very efficient and will guide you through the whole process from b...eginning to end. He will answer any questions you might possibly have, you do not have to wait days or even hours for a response by email. I would send him an email with a question and within minutes I would always get a response. Very professional and knowledgeable.
