Research before hiring Peter Rand

After hiring Mr. Rand to facilitate our commercial property closing for which his was paid, he has yet to give us our closing statement detailing where the proceeds of the money went, including funds from the escrow account. We called, emailed and texted and received nothing but excuse after excuse a...nd promises the closing statement would be forthcoming. We are now going on 8 months and no resolution of where and to who our funds were disbursed to. Highly unethical to hold back such an important document that legally belongs to us. We have bought & sold several properties in the past and every attorney was prompt with our paperwork, until we hired Peter Rand. We do not recommend this law firm.

Peter Rand is amazing

When I hired Peter Rand, I was only looking for an attorney to get my case adjourned, so I could build a defense. Peter went above and beyond my expectations and won the case. If you need an attorney, I would recommend Peter L. Rand whole heartedly.

Dishonest

My divorce case has been in litigation for one year and I have not seen one email ever sent to my ex to be attorney concerning my case and any sort of settlement . Has told me numerous lies and when asked to do something he will tell you you will do it and then blow you off and you will have to cal...l him 10 times before he finally called you back . Typical lawyer .If you are hiring him for a divorce do not do it you’ll fight with him more than you are ask if you are hiring him for a divorce do not do it you’ll fight with him more than your spouse.

Unreliable attorney that is difficult to reach

I hired Attorney Peter Rand in November, 2018 to evict tenants from my rental property. He was very late in filing court papers. He is very difficult to get a hold of and he didn’t notify me of date, time and address of court appearance. On court day he was over an hour late. Judge sided favorably fo...r defendants as a result. He promised to file eviction paperwork with sheriff but didn’t follow through. Do not hire this attorney. He’s not reliable and you will be dissatisfied with results.

Replied last February 22, 2019

I normally would not respond to something like this, but the factual inaccuracies are too much to ignore. A full trial on the merits of the case was had, and the judge did in fact issue a warrant of eviction and substantial money judgement to the client. Warrant of eviction was processed and money judgment entered. The client's expectation of when the sheriff might be able to process the eviction may have been unreasonable, and we regret that the client misunderstood the eviction process. We will take this opportunity to ensure that going forward our clients have a clear understanding of eviction procedures, and look forward to serving their legal interests.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Disbarment issued in NY, 2020

updated on 03/28/2022

Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court to understand the reasons for disbarment.

Suspension issued in NY, 2020

updated on 09/08/2021

Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Censured issued in NY, 2017

updated on 09/08/2021

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
