  • Do I need a lawyer for a real estate closing in New York?


    Yes. In New York, it’s customary—and highly recommended—for both buyers and sellers to have legal representation at closing. We review contracts, explain terms, handle title and lien searches, and ensure a smooth transfer of ownership.

  • How long does the closing process usually take?


    Most residential real estate closings in New York take 30–60 days from contract signing, depending on inspections, title searches, mortgage approval, and other factors. We help you stay on track and avoid unnecessary delays.

  • Can you help with a real estate contract dispute?


    Absolutely. Whether you’re dealing with a breach of contract, failed deal, or earnest money dispute, we can help resolve the issue through negotiation or, if necessary, litigation.

  • What should I do if I have a landlord-tenant dispute?


    If you’re a landlord or tenant facing eviction, lease violations, or security deposit conflicts, it’s important to get legal advice early. We handle residential and commercial landlord-tenant disputes to help protect your rights.

  • What are common issues that delay closing?


    Title problems, mortgage delays, inspection repairs, and missing paperwork can all hold up closing. We work proactively to spot and resolve these issues before they derail your transaction.

  • Do you handle commercial real estate matters?


    Yes. We represent small businesses, investors, and commercial property owners in transactions, lease negotiations, and disputes.
