Closing and negotiating

Paul is thorough and protects his clients best interests. Paul will not be pressured or rushed until he can have your best interest in the forefront. He helped with selling and buying my new home.

Proffesional accurate legal services

Mr. DeChance and his secretary were very helpful to our family over the years with a few legal issues we have had. He is a gentleman to his profession and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice. When it was a legal issue Mr. DeChance didn't handle he recommended a great Attorney to... assist.

Great Negotiating at Closing

Mr DeChance was just terrific. We lived in our Miller Place home for 25 years and raised our 2 children there. When they were adults and pursuing their own careers and it was time to sell the property, my wife and I had many questions. Mr DeChance came and answered all our questions and gave me a "to... do" list. The cloud was lifted. Then he mapped out a strategy to present the property through a Realtor we had chosen. We found a buyer in six months and Mr. DeChance represented us at closing. Mr. DeChance was extremely thorough, left no stone unturned and our closing was very smooth. He was masterful the way he buttoned up the deal when the buyer wanted to continue to negotiate price at closing. I recommend Paul DeChance if you are looking for an experienced, dedicated, knowledgable attorney and a terrific man.

Great work with three cases.

Paul did a great job with three cases I've been involved with: two work work-related lawsuits which we successfully defended (someone wrongly sued a non-profit organization for injuries we were not liable for), and one personal injury lawsuit (serious auto accident) which we also won. Honest, fair, s...mart, dedicated.

Paul failed to file proper paper work in a timely fashion from 2009 and its April 2013. I'm still waiting for a copy of my file I would not recommend him.
