Why
Choose Us
We understand all aspects of the real estate transaction. With well over 75 years of combined legal experience, we have represented buyers, sellers, and lenders in residential and commercial transactions. Buying or selling your home or business is often one of the most important decisions of a lifetime. It is essential that you have experienced counsel on your side.
Our attorneys, led by Peter J. Goodman, make sure to spot issues when we are first engaged to avoid them becoming problems later. While many transactions may seem easy or straightforward, an inexperienced attorney can miss an important concern that can cause your transaction to be delayed or not close at all. Worse, if you close a transaction without proper counsel, you may risk discovering a problem that costs you thousands and/or affects your ability to sell your property in the future.
We make sure to treat you like a client should be treated. There is always someone available to your questions during business hours and often even after hours. We understand that buying or selling your home or business is an emotional time for you and your family. We strive to make the experience the best journey possible during this exciting, but stressful time.
Most attorneys do not start working for you until you have an accepted offer. We believe that your attorney can add value to the process when you first decide to sell or purchase. That’s why we recommend engaging our services as early as possible. By discussing your goals, concerns, and objectives at the earliest stage possible, we can help you choose the best path to success.
