Jay Leslie Zeiger

Sensible, knowledgable, up to date, well informed and trustworthy. Mr Zeiger has over 35 years of experience and works very well with families and their estate planning. He is a peace maker/keeper and can bring all family members together on sensitive issues and when difficult decisions must be made. Jay worked wonders with my family while working on my father's estate after he passed. He dealt with my siblings and my father's X wife. Am grateful for his steady and practical advice. His work is of excellent quality.

Mr Zeiger was referred to me by my real estate broker to represent us for the closing on our new home. From our very first conversation, I liked him immediately. He is smart, direct, thorough, helpful , clear and even has a good sense of humor. He returns emails and phone calls very promptly. He was very patient and took the time to explain the contract and the process to me and my partner. He dealt with all of the issues that arose ( and there were quite a few) and represented us while keeping our interest in forefront. Finally we have closed the transaction and are so happy to be in our new home. Mr. Zeiger also informed us about tax exemptions that are available to us and helped us to do the proper filing. I highly recommend him as one of the very best real estate attorneys in all of New York.

Mr. Zeiger represented me when we did a short sale on my house. He knew exactly what to do, and explained every step of the way. Even when I got a summons to start a foreclosure on my property, I called him up and he handled everything! It was such a relief to not have to worry about any of that! He took care of it all!!!

Very prompt and knowledgable. A man who uses few unnecessary words and anwered my questions with honesty and clarity. Handled a complex situation with ease and obvious experience.

Jay was on...on time...on the money...on the law. He knows his stuff and when there is something he is unclear about, he finds out and finds out quickly. His sentences are short and to the point. He does not waste his time or yours. He was fast to respond to questions and followed up quickly with details that were unusual or particular to our purchase. I fully recommend him.

Mr. Zeiger represented us on the closing of our commercial building. He put together a fantastic contract for us. We wanted to give our buyer early occupancy prior to closing and allow him to make improvements 3 months before the agreed upon closing date. Jay informed us of our risks in doing this and then went ahead and wrote up the contract to accomplish what we had offered to the buyer to make this deal work. He did this while at the same time protecting our interest. The buyer took occupancy after signing the contract, providing a non refundable deposit and after providing proof of insurance for the building and the workers . In addition to this, all expenses were pro-rated from the day the buyer took occupancy (including taxes, water & sewer). We closed on the agreed day and it was a win /win situation for both the buyer and for us as the seller. Jay is very unique in that he is willing to delve in and consider creative options and write a contract that really works. He is able to translate a client's creative ideas and agreements into proper legal terms and contracts. He can do this while remaining careful and cautious and while keeping his clients interest in the forefront. He will explain risks and allow the client to move forward with their decisions with out a big fear factor. In addition to this, he is very responsive and quick to return all emails and voice mails. He is patient and will take the time to explain to his client what ever it is that is not understood, and has a no nonsense way breaking down the legal terms for a lay person. Whether it is a million dollar+ deal or a small home purchase, he will give his time and expertise needed to make your deal a success. He has represented us recently in the sale of our commercial building and in the past for a purchase of land on a lake. If you are looking for an attorney who is skilled, experienced, well connected, responsive, kind and with a track record of success, look no further.
