Mr. Harvey Fox is hands down the best lawyer you can find in New York for your legal needs

Mr. Harvey Fox is hands down the best lawyer you can find in New York for your legal needs. We contacted Mr. Fox after we closed on a house in Mineola to evict an illegal tenant and later for village building violation. Case 1: The case was a complex eviction case as the illegal tenant was a real...-estate agent who knew all the legal loopholes to delay eviction as much as possible. We contacted Harvey on 14/12/2017 and he had the tenant served with a legal notice in 2 hours, that was super impressive to us when other attorneys were saying it will take about 1+ week to serve the tenant. When the tenant refused to leave, Harvey took the matters to the landlord-tenant court and after few days of back and forth with the tenant, got her to sign an agreement to move out soon. We were very impressed with how he handled and took care of us all through this terrible experience. Case 2: The outgoing illegal tenant complained to the village building department that she was an illegal tenant and that we are collecting rent. Though the previous owner rented out the place, as per the law even if you don't collect the rent/in-process of eviction, the fines will be on the new owner. We contacted Harvey again due to his excellent reputation and knowledge to help us to fight the village. The village wanted $16,000 as a fine for the violations and Harvey got it down to $1800 to just one charge instead of 8 violations(because of the previous owner). He fought with the Village attorneys hard and was about to take the case to a trial when they settled. Mr. Fox still went a step further and reduced his fees to make it easier for us to pay the fine. If you are looking for a real-estate/Landlord-Tenant/ligations, look no further Mr. Harvey Fox is the person you want in your team. He is super smart, super efficient and best of all, knows what he's doing unlike other attorney's who take you for granted. I will be happy to recommend him to any of my family and friends. Thanks, Mr. Fox and team for all the hard work in my case.

Professional, perfectionist, straightforward, helpful

Mr. Fox was hired by me and my wife for buying the house. He did the job to our best satisfaction. He was always available to answer our concerns. He guided us throughout the process and was true to his promise. His fee was very low and reasonable but he put in great efforts and a lot of time in gett...ing us the deal. His son Mr. Steve did not lag behind his father in any way but was very nice, patient, informative, and helpful at the time of closing. We will hire Mr. Fox again if the need arises. We highly recommend him.

Harvey Fox

Harvey Fox assisted us with buying our first home. He was recommended to us by family and we are so glad we used him. From the first phone call to closing and beyond he was the best. He responded to every email and phone call within 30 minutes even on the weekends. He covered things we didn't even t...hink of as first time home owners. He questioned everything. He got our closing done quickly and within OUR time range. There were no surprises at closing either. We heard many stories saying bring your checkbook you will be writing a ton of checks that they don't tell you about. Not the case. We knew exactly what to expect and that is exactly what we got. Throughout the whole process he was the one that was truly on our side, looking out for our best interest. Not the realtor, not the bank...but us. We are extremely happy with his service and will definitely be using him in the future as well as highly recommending his firm to our friends and family. I can honestly not say enough good things about our experience with Harvey and his firm.

Most Competent Legal Representation.

Letter of Recommendation. This month my wife and I decided to purchase a second home in Long Island NY. Since buying a home is the most expensive purchase anyone will make in their entire lifetime, it’s imperative that you obtain the best affordable legal representation. Once we ha...d an accepted offer on the property my realtor recommended three possible attorneys whom I contacted immediately. Within a couple hours of making the calls Mr. Harvey Fox was the first to returned my call. After about five minutes of conversation I knew that we'd found the right attorney. What was noticeable about Mr. Fox’s representation was the fact that he consistently pursued every aspect of the purchase with focused, thorough, determination to secure our best interest without taking any shortcuts. I can honestly state that as a retired U.S. Coast Guard Military Officer who served for over thirty three years I encourage all active duty and retired Military Personnel in search of a competent and reasonable attorney to contact Mr. Fox at [email protected] Office 516 742-1344. This is not the first home that we've purchased but I wish we had Mr. Fox on our team before. Once you’re committed in the midst of a home purchase with a pretty sizable non-refundable security deposit on the line, that's not the time to be worrying about your attorney's competence. Because we had Mr. Fox on our team with over thirty six years of experience we were in good hands. He’s a competent, knowledgeable, responsible attorney who navigates through the legal channels of the complicated home purchase process without any difficulty from start to closing. Thanks Mr. Fox for helping us successfully purchasing our newest home. Also, Mr. Fox consistently responded to our texts, emails or voicemails almost immediately even when he’s in court. We’re happy and completely satisfied with the legal services provided by Mr. Harvey Fox and Mr. Steve Fox. They’ve my highest recommendation and I’d refer them to anyone in search of legal representation. Sincerely, Reginald East Hampton NY.
