Why You Need a New York Real Estate Lawyer
Buying or selling a property in New York is a significant investment, and it comes with its share of legal complexities. Whether you’re purchasing a home, co-op, or condo, or selling a commercial property, our team can guide you through the process. We partner with title companies, lenders, and real estate brokers to streamline the transaction and help you avoid common pitfalls.

Co-ops and Condos in New York
Purchasing a co-op or condo in New York adds another layer of complexity to real estate transactions. Unlike a typical home purchase, buying a co-op means acquiring shares in the corporation that owns the building. You’ll be bound by a proprietary lease, and in many cases, subject to strict rules regarding sale or rental. Our lawyers have extensive experience with these types of transactions, including handling co-op board approvals, proprietary leases, and condo tax abatements.
Selling a co-op can also pose challenges, such as dealing with flip taxes and out-of-state tax withholdings. Having an experienced New York real estate lawyer on your side will help you minimize tax consequences and avoid legal complications.
Real Estate Litigation and Disputes
Disputes are sometimes inevitable in real estate transactions. Whether it’s a landlord-tenant disagreement, breach of contract, or boundary dispute, we offer aggressive representation to protect your rights. Our lawyers can negotiate settlements or litigate your case in court to achieve the best possible outcome.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost in New York?
The cost of hiring a real estate lawyer in New York varies depending on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s experience. For straightforward transactions, you may be able to negotiate a flat rate. However, for more complicated cases, hourly rates would apply. At our firm, we offer transparent, competitive pricing tailored to your needs. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and avoid any surprise fees.
