Client and Real Estate Broker

Well Dan’s real estate expertise, can do attitude and his persistence in getting deals done is unparalleled. Also, I find Dan to be a great communicator, a clear thinker and a pleasure to do business with. Among all the attorneys I work with, few come close to Dan and none care enough to even ask fo...r such a survey.

Absolutely amazing in helping us buy our house

Dan was amazing in helping me, my partner, and her sister purchase our first house. He was patient and responsive throughout the whole process as we had the rollercoaster of a home purchase for the first time — he explained everything to us and helped us make decisions and stay calm. He also helped u...s form our LLC. Just great to work with the whole way and everyone in his office was super helpful and wonderful as well, highly highly recommended.

Professional, kind, efficient, responsive, easy to work with

Dan helped me draft some paperwork for a separation and divorce. He made the process less stressful and made the work sessions very productive. His rates were very fair. He is calm and kind as well...and someone who will advocate for you. For me, I just felt a high level of trust in working with ...him. He has a high standard of integrity which I find is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend him and his firm!

Dan McCabe, Great Lawyer

I was referred to Dan McCabe by a close friend who has been a client of Dan's for over 20 years, and now I know why. Dan is friendly, patient and personable, not traits I've come to expect in my experience with lawyers. Dan and his whole staff have been very helpful guiding me through the sale of m...y current house and purchase of my new home. They are always quick to respond to my inquiries and clarify anything I have concerns about. They communicate with the other attorneys on my behalf and follow up with me in timely manner. I highly recommend Dan McCabe, and McCabe, Martin, Coleman & Ventosa in Poughkeepsie, NY to anyone looking for a law firm to represent them.
