Highly recommend Alexander Sherwood Keenan, Esq. Real Estate law…read more Alexander Sherwood Keenan, Esq. is heads and shoulders above his peers in terms of consistency and performance in the field of Real Estate Law. After over 5 years of interviewing, evaluating and hiring, firing and clawing back retainers from legal counsel, I am giving Mr. Keenan my highest recommendation. We retained Mr. Keenan several times over the years we traveled through the probate process to assist us in navigating complicated real estate issues. We also evaluated best strategies on how to handle the property during the probate proceedings. I can say without reservation that you will find Mr. Keenan to be a creative thinker who also listens and if the process becomes complicated, he will not abandon you. We met, discussed the issues, possible alternatives, decided on a course of action and he did what he promised to do every time. I was impressed with his solid brainstorming that resulted in an impressive air-tight promissory note to protect the compensation rights of a major creditor. At the closing, the sale of the property was supposed to be a simple one funding source all-cash deal. We walked into a situation where multiple banks and funding sources were representing the buyers. This created a multi-tiered closing that Mr. Keenan handled with grace and decorum. What could have devolved into chaos, became collegial, in-part due to Mr. Keenan's exceedingly calm, adaptive, accommodating persona. He became the wheel hub at the closing. At the end, all acknowledged that everything went very smoothly. Mr. Keenan has a firm and knowing way of directing the conversation and situations, creating win-win scenarios for all sides. This is a very rare gift. It is also important to note that the promissory note he drew up years before the actual property was sold, was impressive and held up, uncontested in the court proceedings. I can say that after working with a number of attorneys, Mr. Keenan, is refreshingly clear on his skill set and will also let you know up front if he is not the right attorney to handle your case saving you time and money. Throughout this process, of the more than seven attorneys I hired to handle legal work for the Estate, I only re-upped with two attorneys. Mr. Keenan is one of them. When it comes to real estate law, Mr. Keenan is truly worthy of your time and trust in handling you legal real estate matters including property closings across the New York State regional area.

Most likely the worst family law & divorce Attny in the county. She cost my friend her son, she…read morecost another friend a reasonable divorce settlement, she cost me just about everything that a first year law student could have easily obtained in my divorce settlement. I later was able win something in appeals court with a new Attny but because Ms Kidd failed to enter basic particulars into evidence during my initial divorce trial, after I had argued multiple times to enter, i could not appeal for those particulars. Basic things such as shared equity in our long term home, retirement pension, of which even in a short term marraige the leaving spouse is entitled to a percentage that is typically determined by years of marraige. Time & time again I begged for the basics like temporary spousal support, & attorneys fees of which she would've obviously benefitted. The attorneys I consulted with & ultimately used moving forward had told me that I could have & (looking back now) should have filed a complaint with the NY State Barr Assoc. and also sued Ms Kidd for what I had should have been awarded in a simple settlement. At every turn I was scared about the outcome ahead but her constant reassurance ie manipulations led me blindly into an extremely unfavorable settlement. I had never been thru something like that & was wholly dependent on her guidance as my lawyer. It's been quite awhile that I've had to contemplate the outcome & I still hold her responsible. So this isn't blind anger anymore, this is the fair warning I truly wish I had been given.

Diana has a great staff behind her, so friendly and caring and they handled all of my questions with expedience and helped prepare me for all outcomes.

If you are considering meeting with Diana, do not hesitate, schedule the appointment. You will not be sorry!
