212-233-1233

When you call during business hours, you will be connected directly to the lead attorney, Albert Goodwin — never to an associate or assistant. Real estate matters move quickly. Calling early gives you more options.

Email

email@goodwinrealestatelaw.com

Please describe your situation briefly: the property address (or borough at minimum), what stage the matter is in, and your role (buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, owner, lender, contractor, co-owner). Include a good time to reach you. Do not include details you would not want a third party to read. We treat all inquiries as confidential.

What to Have Ready

• The contract or lease, if any. If you have a draft of the purchase contract, the lease, the operating agreement, or the deed, send it before the call.
• The other side's counsel. Who is the lawyer on the other side? Conflict checks have to clear before we can advise.
• The deadline. Is there a closing date, a notice-period expiration, a court appearance, a mortgage commitment expiring, a lien deadline?
• The title and tax history. For owners and prospective buyers, the deed, title insurance policy, and recent tax bills are helpful.
• For tenants: the lease, any notices received, and any rent payment history.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

We will listen to your situation, explain the relevant law, and outline the realistic options. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and, where appropriate, refer you to another attorney who is. There is no obligation to retain the firm after your consultation. The conversation is protected by attorney-client privilege whether or not you ultimately hire us.
