Excellent Real Estate Lawyer
Tough deal to get closed. Very complex commercial loan restructure. David handled all of the negotiations and documentation and got the job done right and in time to preserve our tenant relationships. We say thanks!

Smart and Efficient
This was a tough and complex series of transactions. David took control and acheived a great result very cost effectively. I've worked with big firms most of my career - I don't think I will ever again. The professional and personalized service we received from Chester & Shein was top notch! I recommend David and his team without reservation.
