Rochester Youth Rugby ,Inc is a reality.

Our dream of having an legal entity that could represent Youth Rugby in Rochester became a reality ,largely because of the quality legal representation provide by Mr Hurwitz. He walk us through all off the steps of first becoming a Corp. ,then getting us tax exempt status and finally getting us list...ed as a NYS charity. He diligently walked us through what was almost a 9 month process keeping us informed of progress and making sure we completed all of the necessary filings in a timely fashion. In short we will use Mr Hurwitz for all of our future legal needs

The reliable friend

As my attorney for many years he has handled a variety of different kinds of support for me. I will focus on the 3 times he handled real estate transaction for me. Each transaction was thoroughly completed with competence and diligence. Nothing slipshod about his work.

Great help when I really needed it

Hired Philip for a DWI, he had the best price of anyone I talked to. He's knowledgeable, punctual and showed genuine concern for my outcome. I moved out of state shortly after I was given the ticket and Philip helped tremendously with finding out of state programs, answering my questions and working ...with the court to keep the necessary trips back to New York to a minimum.

Real estate attorney

Phillip represented myself and my husband in the purchase of our first home. He was thorough and a firm advocate. We hope to use him again as we think about selling this home to look for another.

Patient Excellence

Phil has helped us buy a new home and update our wills. In both cases he exhibited patience in walking us through the details and handling changes, even when unexpected.
