Much of the problem in dealing with government agencies is an unfamiliarity with their processes and a lack of relationships with their employees.
Having worked with several government agencies, we understand the myriad regulations and restrictions and possess the knowledge, technical skill, and patience so that transactions are as smooth and timely as possible. We also have government agency contacts at all levels to help move the sometimes tedious process along.
Municipal, State & Regional Agencies
The firm has an expertise in The State of New York Mortgage Agency, The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and The New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) requirements and is the attorney for M&T Bank, the largest SONYMA originator in New York State. As a result, we have helped numerous applicants through the rigorous approval process, enabling more low and moderate income families to own homes by obtaining affordable mortgages.
Defense & Homeland Security
The evolving defense and homeland security environment brings new threats and regulations, but also new opportunities for companies to do business with the government. As a result, government entities and companies need attorneys with the experience, skill, and sound judgment to guide them as the rules and priorities continue to change.
A Edward Major is experienced in representing private companies who want to do business with the government — i.e., helping developers purchase government land to put in housing, shopping centers, or other projects.
With a growing number of U.S. military bases closing both here and abroad, we can assist military personnel in the sale of their homes. Clients feel secure knowing they have a trusted advisor who understands the local selling process and can save them the time and trouble of attempting to handle the sale on their own.
We are well-versed on defense and homeland security issues and our principal, A Edward Major, is a published author on these topics. His articles "Cooperation Leads to Better Security" and "Lawyers as Leaders: A Civilian Perspective for Military Attorneys" were published by The Strategic Studies Institute and The Army Center for Professional Military Ethic respectively.
