“When I was negotiating the lease for the West Village location of Oslo Coffee, I needed an attorney to represent my interests in lease negotiations with a major NYC landlord. Matt was always available and answered my most pressing questions. He kept me at ease and allowed me to focus on the business—knowing that the lease was in good hands. Can’t thank Matt and his team enough!”

“Matt was terrific. He helped guide me through the home-buying experience: he helped me know what paperwork I had to fill out and by when, and he helped me navigate a water damage issue with the property I was buying. He was extremely communicative, responsible and knowledgeable. He helped me feel safe and get the guarantees I needed from the sellers without angering them. Super professional and friendly. I highly, highly recommend Matt to anyone in need of legal assistance, especially when buying a home.”
