Real Estate
Practice Area 01
Buying or selling property is often the largest financial decision a person makes. It deserves an attorney who treats it that way — calm, prepared, and on the phone when you need them.
The Fair Firm Approach
Closings, calmly handled.
1
Personal Attention
Every closing is handled by David personally — not passed down to a paralegal or junior associate.
The same lawyer who reviews your contract is the one at the closing table.2
Plain English
Every document, every clause, every contingency — explained in language you actually understand, before you sign. You'll never wonder what something means.

On Schedule
The closing date on your contract is the closing date we work toward. We coordinate with your agent, lender, and the other side to keep everything on track.
David helped us close on our first home and made the whole process less stressful. He kept on top of things and kept us in the know every step of the way.

Common Questions
Things Buyers & Sellers often ask
-
Yes. New York is an "attorney state" — both the buyer and the seller are represented by an attorney at the closing table. This is different from many other states, where a title company handles the closing. Your real estate agent isn't permitted to negotiate the contract for you.
-
Residential closings are flat-fee. You'll know your fee before you sign the engagement letter, and it doesn't change because the deal got complicated. We'll discuss specifics during your consultation.
-
No. New York rules of professional conduct prohibit representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction. We can only represent one side per deal.
-
Most first-time buyers come to us once they have an accepted offer. That's the right time. Before that, focus on getting pre-approved with a lender and finding an agent. Once you have a signed offer, that's when the attorney comes in.
