Closings

Real estate closings

Purchases, sales and refinances of houses, condos and co-ops in Queens and Nassau County, plus investor and small commercial deals. Contract review, title, the lender, the board package and the closing itself.

The goal is simple: find problems early, keep everyone on the same timeline and get to the closing table without surprises.

Time-sensitive

Foreclosure defense and loan modifications

If you are behind on your mortgage or have been served with foreclosure papers, the deadlines matter. We review the case, talk to the servicer, pursue a loan modification or short sale where it fits, and defend the action in court.

The earlier you call, the more options you usually have.

Fresh start

Bankruptcy and debt relief

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, defense against creditor lawsuits and wage garnishments, and negotiation with creditors when bankruptcy is not the right fit.

We go through your income, debts and property first, then tell you plainly which option makes sense.
