    Review Harry Konst

    Excellent personal service!

    Posted by

    Harry has been my personal attorney on several occasions for a variety of real estate and tenant matters. He has been practicing for years and really knows his stuff! He provides exceptional personal service that you just don’t receive from other firms. He knows all the shenanigans that the other side will try and he’ll get you to the finish line with a win!

    Mr. Konst has always provided great service to me. I called him for assistance with a legal issue and he had me in for a meeting day of. He also made my case a priority and turned around the needed materials very quickly. Harry has always been very responsive. He has always answered quickly anytime I have sent him an email, phone call, or text message. I would strongly recommend working with Harry!

    He's a Pro

    Posted by

    I look up Harry Konst because I knew the name from my days at Depew High School, I knew some of his relatives. Harry represented me in my divorce and took care of the closing for my house. You will not fine a better lawyer. Not only do I consider him a fine lawyer, I call him my friend. His advice and knowledge got me through this whole process. He's a straight shooter and will represent you well.

    Harry is a kind considerate and knowledgeable man/attorney. He took all the time I needed to explain my situation and answer my questions. I ended up not needing his services but I would call him anytime if I ever would need an attorney.
