At each step Gabe explained what needed to be done. He answered all my questions which I thought were relatively few because he already explained so much during and after the consultation. The final paperwork looks daunting but I have complete confidence Katzner Law will be there to answer any questions I may have. The organization of the paperwork looks meticulous which is reassuring. I now have concrete tasks to complete and and appreciate Gabe keeping it simple and thorough. I highly recommend the Katzner Law Group.

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.

Carpe Diem. I retained Mr Pontone to help me with an eviction case (the building was being sold)…read more He didn't update me as to status of the case, made court appearance appointments without consulting me, pressured me to take a deal (subsequently deleted the text exchange bc he knew what he was being dodgy, and took a contingency fee when he knew that I would be receiving a settlement (keys for cash) in addition to the retainer (which was subtracted from the settlement). So essentially, I got pretty shoddy service while he got an additional $7K for not very good representation. I do not recommend.

I'm still recovering from a broken ankle and walking with a walker, I cannot move right now at all. I was given a free lawyer by the city, but he didn't seem to care at all about my case. I had no choice but to drop him and hire Michael. I attached a picture of that Lawyer's reaction Apparenly Michael's made quite a name for himself!!! He struck a deal giving me free rent for the rest of the year, because he is a meticulous hero who found a flaw in my landlord's paperwork. He is a bloodhound! The first time I hired him (2016), he found a flaw in the paperwork my landlord filed to make it no longer a rent stabilized unit. I could have stayed with extremely cheap rent for the rest of my life, but I could not deal with the landlord who worked right downstairs anymore and left with a settlement instead. He really cares and pays close attention to your case. His fees are also extremely reasonable, not charging you a half an hour for a quick text message etc. This man is like a pitbull that was trained to landlords. I love him
