For MANY years I have had the pleasure of dealing with partner John Cahill at this firm…read more John is the antithesis of what a lot of folks think about attorneys. John is outrageously personable, honest, knowledgeable and accommodating. He has even done so things for me in the past with no charge. John cares about his clients and his actions always reinforce that. I give my highest recommendation for John. He specializes in real estate and contract law and handles wills, etc. if you are in need of a classy attorney give John a call. If what you need is not in his area of concentration he will happily provide a referral.

My husband and I are brand new to the Albany area, having fled the crazy housing inflation of New…read moreEngland to come back to New York. The Covid lockdown year was traumatic, realizing that we had to move was traumatic, packing up and saying goodbye was traumatic... but we were able to purchase a house here in Albany. Even though we were cash buyers and willing to meet the seller's price, her attorney was weirdly combative and unaccommodating. There was a tiny typo on the title (could the hostile attorney have made a mistake? Heavens!) and we were very worried that our whole moving-in scenario was in jeopardy. A moving truck full of sweaty men was on its way, the cats were unhappily ensconced in a pricey hotel, we were completely stressed out... And then Laura Marro from Messina and Cahill entered the scene. She was calm and professional, which was really very reassuring in the hot mess our simple closing had become. She hopped on her phone and in minutes the problem was resolved and we were signing on to our new adventure. I would strongly advise anyone looking to close on real estate to rely on Messina & Cahill. Ask for them if you can, they saved the day for us!

With that in mind, I was very careful when picking an attorney to help me out. I had heard about The Towne Law Firm from a friend and decided to contact them, and I am so happy I did. Shalini Natesan, one of the Partners, was very responsive throughout the entire closing process and kept the transaction moving from start to finish. She helped calm my nerves and made the process of closing on a house actually enjoyable for me. It was very apparent she has done many closings before. I really cannot thank Shalini and the attorneys at Towne enough for all they did for me. They truly went above and beyond. If you ever need any legal assistance, Towne is the firm to go to. They aren't intimidating and they REALLY care about their clients.
