Peter Klose is an exceptional attorney and I recommend him without hesitation. He resolved a matter for me in just four months - something my prior attorney was unable to accomplish in three years. Throughout the process, Peter treated me with respect, listen carefully and made sure I understood every step. His negotiation skills were outstanding and he worked toward a fair, mutually acceptable resolution with professionalism and integrity. What stood out most was that he treated me like a person, not a billing opportunity. That level of care is rare in this field. I am deeply grateful for his dedication, honesty and the results he achieved. If you want an attorney who truly advocates for you, Peter is the one you want in your corner. read more

Great guy. Peter, for free, notified me that my taxes were behind. An estate issue created some chaos, and Peter was not my attorney on that matter (but was in the past on something else) but Peter was kind enough to contact me to have me get that property out of legal jeopardy. He did a home closing on a place I sold five years ago, and it went perfectly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Peter Klose was our attorney this year when we closed on our house. He was a great help in a long and complicated journey. He was always there to answers emails, phone calls and all of our questions. He was very efficient and accurate. Highly recommend. read more

We worked with Peter to sell our house in upstate NY. Sounds pretty easy, until you factor in the fact that the house is jointly owned by family members in different parts of California. Peter was easy to work with and was able to handle almost everything over e-mail. Fair warning: Peter has a somewhat laconic way of communicating (e-mail answers of "Yes" or "No" or "Working on it" were common), but when we needed him to focus on the matter he was immediately responsive and quickly provided us with updates. He personally attended the closing and called us from the conference room to let us know what was going on. We highly recommend Peter, especially if you need to get some legal work done in NY and you aren't able to physically be there. One final note: We are both attorneys, and we were pleased with Peter's work. I think it says something when you are "in the business" and you have a professional respect for the services provided. read more

Peter was my buyer's attorney on a residential real estate transaction. Above everything else, I am impressed with Peter's availability to respond to emails and take calls. I was able to reach him on a daily basis, using email and phone calls, even while he was on vacation in Greece. It was easier to communicate with him than it was to many people in NY involved in the transaction. All of the paperwork prior to the closing was done via email and fax (I probably have 100s of pages of PDFs), and Peter's office keeps a very tight ship in terms of documentation. His assistant Cindy is on top of things and she is easy to reach as well. They have an excellent grasp of maximizing productivity through technology. I can't overestimate how valuable this was, especially in contrast to other players in the real estate transaction who worked at a snail's pace. If there was one criticism I had of him, was that his answers to my questions tended to be terse. "Don't worry" was an often used phrase, which is tough to accept when a couple hundred grand is being thrown around. Being stubborn and persistent in my questioning is necessary when I wish it needed not have been. But Peter had detailed answers when we got down to it. He also alerted me to some things that I hadn't been aware of, and his office saved us a lot of grief by saving time and being responsive. I also appreciate Peter's prioritizing and defense of core issues important to me. If I say "we don't accept this from the seller", Peter will put on his game face in front of the seller's lawyer, and things are made right. If the seller stonewalls, Peter says "don't worry" and calls their bluff. It's those times when "don't worry" provides me with confidence. All in, do your Internet research and keep asking questions, and Peter will be a valuable attorney to work with. read more

Peter is professional, prompt and communicative. I feel at ease and comfortable working with him (completed three different transactions/deals within 3 months time!). Highly recommended to everyone who seeks legal services. I will continue to choose Klose &Associates for future needs because I can rest assured I am in the right hands. I have been blessed to find him. read more

We have been searching to buy a commercial property for over 3 years. I worked with Peter for the last 2 properties. The first one, my mind was stuck on the property to buy it. Peter had me to do many research. Reluctantly I did and found out that the property had a major structural repair in the past. I backed out. The property is still out in the market not sold for over few years. The second property which we ended up buying was much better. Only mistake was that I decided to get a mortgage from a major bank which we had business account for over 10 years hopping that will ease the process. Well, not so.... they drove me crazy with all the paper works and requirements. Peter really eased all that and he stood by us till the end of the process. He always answered phone calls and kept good communication. At the closing table, he took control of the floor and was leading all the way. And myself being a cheap guy... most of all.... he did not charge me a cent more than he projected and his fee is very very reasonable. To sum it up, he is precise, prompt, has good sense of humor and charismatic. Thanks Peter! read more

Peter is one of a kind attorney that you want on your side when making a home purchase in Rockland County. I worked with him for almost 2 months on a deal and he has been an expert and a Gentleman working and writing multiple contracts in full details and protected me the entire way. It is clear that Peter is not after your money rather it's amazing to me that there are still people out there hat don't just chase money but Chase good to help a person in a situation that there in I am so stoked and happy I have chosen Peter here in Yelp. I am looking forward to my next purchase in the coming months and utilizing Peter for his expertise, care, understanding, quick responses, and just a total professional person and attorney all around. read more

We had a complicated home purchase that Peter came into late in the game due to our previous attorney passing away. He responded to all of our many emails and texts very promptly and guided us through to our closing professionally. I feel he represented our interests as if they were his own and got us the best deal possible. Thank you Peter! read more

I hired Peter Klose first time when I purchased my condo in 2017 based on a review where someone said he was very honest and humane and made them a special price because they didn't have much money. That was my situation where I literally was searching in pockets and the sides of the couch to put the closing costs together. Besides my limitations, he gave me the best treatment you could ask for. As a foreigner, buying alone and putting all my money on this project I had problems trusting anyone. I did a lot of research in home buying before the process, probably more than the average person. Even with that, there were so many things I had no idea about and Peter took the time of explaining me every detail of the process and translated the legal words in words I could understand. English is not my first language, which makes this a bigger challenge. He is definitely a patient person. When I decided to sell my condo and buy a house this year, without hesitation I chose Peter again for both transactions. In comparison with my transaction in 2017, knowing that you have someone you can trust from the beginning, makes the process less stressful, in fact a bit enjoyable. I would recommend Peter to anyone looking for a trustable, thorough, efficient and humane RE attorney. read more

Peter Klose is an amazing real estate lawyer. He made a stressful process much more easier to manage. Every time we sent him an email, he would respond right away. If there was something we didn't understand, he would call us immediately. He was prompt throughout the entire process. We met him in person for the first time when it was time to close, but we felt like we already knew him long before closing. We called him the virtual lawyer. read more

I selected Peter Klose as my attorney for a house closing in Rockland county. He is one of the most responsive professionals I've ever worked with- he responds to emails immediately and is easy to reach by phone. He explains the process and keeps you in the loop every step of the way. I appreciated that he scanned all relevant paperwork and sent PDFs. I would use Peter Klose again in the future, and highly recommend him to others. read more

Peter was the easiest person to communicate with and as a major bonus, he's very funny! He made everything simple, straightforward and easy even when we were stressed out, especially after the house was damaged by Hurricane Irene. He responded to emails at lightning speed and always picked up his phone. His fee was very fair and it was exactly what he quoted in the beginning, which we truly appreciated because he did not charge more even though the closing was postponed a few times first due to bank issues and later due to the Hurricane. We were first time home buyers so we researched everything including interviewing 3 lawyers and he was by far the easiest to reach and the best at explaining the process. If our close friends or family decide to buy a house, we would highly recommend Peter, and if we ever sell and buy another house, he'll be our lawyer again, no question. read more

Peter represented us in a real estate closing in Rockland. He was courteous, professional , and responsive to all our needs. We would recommend him for all your real estate needs. Thanks Pete read more

Used Klose Law Firm for closing on our home.. we are first time home buyers and Peter was extremey helpful throughout the entire process.. he is very accessible and always responsive... I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and Peter always listened and gave sound advice. He is a professional and very efficient at what he does. Will definitely use him again for future needs. read more

I used Peter's services for the sale of my co-op in Westchester County. He was unbelievably efficient, prompt and seemed to be thinking three steps ahead the entire time - which was incredibly useful, given all the hoops you have to jump through when closing on a co-op, not to mention dealing with a mortgage company that has a history of losing paperwork and torpedoing deals. Just to make things interesting, I also had a baby a few days after we went into contract, and then our closing was scheduled shortly after Thanksgiving weekend. Despite all these obstacles, Peter had no trouble coordinating all necessary details without breaking a sweat. (He also has a great sense of humor!) My husband and I are already using his services again to set up our wills, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Outstanding service! read more

Peter Klose is a bulwark against the idiocies and vagaries that can sink a real estate deal, especially an involved one like our eight-month short sale purchase. We were first-time home buyers and after several bad experiences with various brokers and lawyers, Peter's knowledge, professionalism, and advocacy were a welcome relief. He kept on top of the other side, which was less than forthcoming at times, and kept us neatly informed of what we needed to know and do. He returned calls and emails immediately. He knows the market and the players in the area and was able to get important information through back channels. In fact, after I told him about our previous string of failed deals, he recommended the broker that we ended up using -- who was also a winner -- even before we had agreed to work with him. He's one of the good ones. read more

Klose & Associates were among a few legal teams referred through our legal plan. My husband and I are extremely pleased with our decision to hire Peter Klose as our closing attorney. Everything surrounding the sale of our home was stressful, yet Peter's keen knowledge of real estate in the area put us at ease. He was accessible by phone and email. His email responses were timely and insightful. Peter always returned missed calls and if we ever caught him off guard, he was always quick to shift gears to our case. We felt as though Peter was genuinely looking out for us - it was like we had hired family. Words can't express how much we truly appreciated the guidance and expertise of Klose & Associates. Without a doubt, Peter Klose is second to none and we will definitely seek his services again if we ever need. read more

I was in need of a local Rockland County, NY attorney to respond to a pending lawsuit but knew of none. I turned to the internet, was impressed with the reviews I read of Mr. Klose and reached out to him. I am extremely please with my decision to hire him to represent me. Mr. Klose challenged me, was very professional, knew the playing field; and to my surprise was extremely efficient with my time and his. When I received my invoices there was absolutely no ounce of fluff. When I made some suggestions I was surprised at some of his responses along the lines of "I can take your money but we don't have to do that"; Imagine that? More shocking came months later when he reached out to me suggesting that the case looks like it was going no further, which was a victory for me and therefore he should return the balance of my retainer. Again, imagine that? I received my bulk of my retainer. While I'm delighted and surprised that I did, I cannot emphasize enough, Mr. Klose's professionalism and communication with detail. Next time I need a lawyer, without hesitation, Mr. Klose is my lawyer. read more

As one can imagine the process of buying your first home is a scary undertaking. My husband and I wanted to make sure we would select a great attorney to help us along the journey. After an extensive search and reading many reviews, we selected Peter and it turned out to be a great decision! From the first point of contact with Peter we knew it was going to be the right fit. During the mortgage process a few issues with our lender came up but Peter acted quickly in advising us and was reassuring. Peter was prompt with all of his responses whether it was via email or by phone. At times he'd even respond before I got the chance to log out of my email account! Towards the nearing of our closing, the day before to be exact, things got interesting again with our lender but Peter was consistently there for us when seeking his advise. He is personable, professional, and understanding. We wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a real estate attorney. read more

I worked with Peter for almost a year selling my parents home in Tappan. He was very patient and welcoming all along the way. It took 3 tries to sell my home and he helped me in every way possible to make the sell happen. I will definetly recommend him for anyone looking for a well experienced attorney in the local area. read more

In my opinion, Peter is everything a lawyer should be. Normally I would use my sister who's a real estate attorney in New Jersey to handle my real estate transactions, but alas she's not licensed in New York. Nonetheless, I chose to go with Peter over other local attorneys because of his expertise in rental law (I'm purchasing a two family), positive reviews online, and having read some of his informative and well written articles that appeared in The Nyack Villager. I can say without a doubt that I made a prudent choice. Peter has been excellent throughout what I can only imagine has been a worst case scenario Real Estate wise. He has played the role of "Good Cop" in dealing with my extremely contentious mortgage company, is extremely quick to respond to email and phone inquiries succinctly, and has been very patient and knowledgeable in all aspects of a real estate transaction that has encountered numerous setbacks including a probate situation as the seller had passed before we were able to close. I wanted to find a reliable local attorney that was competent, competitively priced, and one I could trust. My search is over. He will have my continued business going forward ...All this, and a wonderfully dry sense of Humor through the whole process. THANKS PETER!!! read more

My husband and I were purchasing a home, and upon recommendation, called Peter. He was extremely personable, as well as knowledgeable. He guided us through the entire process, and was always available. He would email us daily to keep us up to date on the progress of our purchase. We had several issues throughout, and Peter was always reassuring and we knew we were in good hands. He was a true professional, and it was a pleasure working with him. We will definitely be using his services in the future and feel lucky that we found him because it made our process go much more smoothly, and took a lot of worry off of our hands. He just took good care of us. read more

My overall experience with Peter Klose was excellent and I would definitely recommend this attorney. He is a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer as well as amiable and compassionate. I have hired Mr. Klose to represent me during my primary home purchase. I had worked with another lawyer prior to Peter Klose, but I was not happy, therefore, I started looking around for somebody else. I found Peter's name on-line, checked his ratings and reviews, and contacted him. Peter was very helpful with any questions/clarifications that I needed- I felt that I was well informed and properly advised every step of the way. He responded to reasonable amount of time. On many occasions, he exceeded my expectations- I haven't waited once more than 24h to receive an e-mail or call back (even when he was on his vacation, he always got back to me in a timely manner!). And this is exactly why I went back and asked Peter Klose to represent me again! read more

Peter represented me on a few real estate related transactions. My first home purchase being one of them, he was detailed, responsive, and courteous. He did not take for granted, that I knew everything and had the patience and foresight to go through things with me thoroughly. I've dealt with plenty of attorney's in the past, not one was as responsive as Peter, he always returned my calls or emails in a prompt manner. His assistant Cindy is Great!! She helped with all the admin. details and missed nothing. The Bank and mortgage process was an arduous one, the underwriters delayed our closing several times, Peter kept his cool, even while I was freaking out that the deal was going to be lost. Peter knew exactly the right kind and amount of leverage to apply, and helped expedite the bank process for me, basically saving the deal. I would highly recommend Peter Klose and his office to anyone, who needs representation for real estate related matters. read more
