Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"John came recommended to me by a family member who John represented in a co-op purchase in Manhattan. This was my first home purchase, and John could not have been a better partner. At each stage of the process John was timely to respond, knowledgeable, and consistent in both his communications and recommendations. John always found time to talk to me and answer questions, and always prioritized my concerns. I would highly recommend John for anyone looking for legal representation for similar purchases in the area." - Matthew K.


★★★★★
"It was a pleasure working with John. John helped us sell our apartment in Manhattan and buy our house in Westchester. He was very helpful, transparent, and professional throughout the whole process. We always felt like John was looking out for our best interests and was willing to go above and beyond to help us out and make things go smoothly. Would highly recommend working with John!" - Chris and Carly
