It's a family owned Mom and Pop's style place so I like the general vibe there. Obviously great legal advice and representation as far as selling and buying real estate.

Gus Haritos was my lawyer when I first bought my apartment 28 years ago. I remember him patiently…read moreand carefully explaining everything to me, as I had absolutely no knowledge of real estate transactions. And when I was looking for a lawyer to sell my apartment in 2025, I found that Gus was still practicing. Thank God. This time, the sale process took a considerable amount of time. It took almost total of a year to find a buyer and to complete sale process. He was responsive to emails, even outside of regular business hours, and handled a difficult buyer with great patience. With his reasonable legal fees, the expertise cultivated over years of experience, and his wonderful character, he provided exceptional service. Highly recommend.

I cannot sing Gus Haritos' praises enough. He was a GEM when he worked with my husband and me on a…read morepurchase of a co-op apartment. His professionalism, expertise, and wisdom are unparalleled. Always available by phone or email, willing to explain terms and put it in a language you understand, he went above and beyond for us, truly. This was a difficult and complicated sale, and he supported and advised us every step of the way. The closing took 6 hours-well, there he was with us, the whole time. My husband had used him on a sale before, we used him again now, and if there is a need for his services again in the future, there is no one else for us other than Mr. Haritos. He is amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!

A big thank you from California!…read more This review is for Godfrey Lee and I think he deserves 10 stars. I contacted Godfrey with questions regarding a landlord tenant dispute matter for our condo in Manhattan. Although Godfrey no longer takes these types of cases, he was still very patient, courteous, and professional to hear my case and offered his expertise. He didn't rush me like most other attorneys would do if they weren't able to help. In the end, Godfrey directed me to his colleague who specializes in landlord tenant dispute matters. He also went the extra mile to write an email introducing me to his colleague. He even offered further assistance if I needed it. I was deeply touched by Godfrey's kindness. I would highly recommend Godfrey to anyone who has legal issues with no reservation. In my humble opinion, it's not easy to find an attorney like Godfrey, who is kind, compassionate and truly cares about people seeking legal help, not just his clients.

Chris was a fantastic attorney from start to finish. We were first time home buyers and new to…read moreeverything about real estate. Chris was able put us at ease, reassure us by explaining any confusion and lastly, addressing all our concerns. As our co-op experience wasn't unique, throughout the entire process, Chris stayed on top of communication and constantly kept in contact with the seller's agent and party. Chris is also very responsive. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking to sell or buy a co-op. He was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything Chris!!!

UPDATE: I have been using Miae's services since 2007 and she has always been reliable.  As…read moreaforementioned in my 2015 review, she has assisted my family with 2 condo purchases.  However, since then, she also has provided other services for subsequent deed/title transfers and advice on avoiding probate court.  In response to some of the past reviews, the 1st one sounds like she's angry for not getting hired after a poor job interview with the office...no complaint for any legal service that was provided. As for the 2012 review, people should realize that most questions/problems get resolved, and resolved very quicky, just by getting on the phone...being at work is no excuse for not availing yourself for a phone call...one of you could have skipped lunch.  Legal/real estate matters are very serious matters requiring preparation and work by both sides!  As for emailing, I and most professional persons would agree with Miae. The amount of time it takes to write an email, wait for a response, and wondering/waiting when you'll get a response is a total waste of everyone's time...a follow-up call should have been made same or next day.  It's not like a store when you pay for exactly what you want and get the item instantly...legal/real estate matters require a working relationship because attorneys aren't mind readers.  Miae has always been able to address all my questions/concerns because I prepare a list of them and discuss them with her.  By preparing in this way, value is added by moving the discussion along, opening up the conversation and potentially bringing up more questions that I, or the lawyer, didn't think of before. You sound like a millennial who would rather IM, DM and text and who lost the basic skill of conversation along with cursive writing...both are lost arts nowadays with newer generations. Finally, the 2018 review with crazy all-caps, Miae always speaks to us in English and you're accusing her of only speaking with non-English speaking clients?  You need to check your own English because you really meant to write "unscrupulous". Miae absolutely knows what she's doing!  She has a good moral compass, is professional,  knowledgeable and very reliable.  If you need assistance with real estate contract/deed or personal will matters, then I definitely recommend her services.

A couple of caveats first. (1) I am tough -- you can look through my review distribution and see…read morethat I am not shy about keeping businesses accountable. (2) I rarely have an experience with a lawyer that is positive. I always get stuck with a bill that is unexpectedly high or getting shuffled between junior less experienced lawyers. That said, working with Nick has been awesome. He is thoughtful and thorough. He takes ownership for his work and follows the steps and details of the transaction closely. I was never worried that I would not be able to reach him or that he would overlook the details. He is smart and he has your back. He has now worked on 3 real estate transactions for me -- 2 in Westchester (complex 1031 exchanges), and a purchase in NYC. I will continue to use him for all my transactions in the NY area.
