Since 1940, our principal areas of practice are mortgages for both commercial and residential real estate.

As we are one of the few law firms in NYC who specialize in bank representation, our bank clients are not treated as a side business, where attorneys are rarely involved. In contrast, we are involved throughout the entire process, not just at the closing.

We work with many banks in the tri-state area and have a solid reputation of professionalism and integrity, as well as an in-depth grasp of the complexities of securing residential and commercial financing.

We understand each client's obligations as well as their anxieties, and are a calming influence in what can be a stressful and exasperating experience. With our expertise, we deftly guide the bank's customers through the maze of local real estate laws, forms and procedures to streamline the approval process.

Due to our firm's small size, the bank and its customers are always seen by a senior attorney and not relegated to a subordinate or paralegal. Having represented various parties—buyers, sellers, lenders, investors—we approach each real estate transaction from a broad perspective to ensure our clients obtain their desired result.
