HOW WE HELP
What we do.
We're a small, friendly general practice. That means we handle a lot of different matters — and we're happy to talk through yours, even if it's not on the list. Flat fees wherever possible, clear estimates everywhere else.
WHERE WE ARE
Montgomery, New York
WHO WE SERVE
Hudson Valley NY
Including but not limited to: Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam and Rockland Counties
01
Real Estate
Buying, selling, or refinancing? We'll walk you through the whole thing — from contract to closing — in plain English.
Whether it's your first home, a family property you've had for years, or a small commercial building, buying or selling real estate is a big deal. We read every contract carefully, keep the title clean, and make sure you actually understand what you're signing before you sign it. Most of our closings are handled on a flat fee, so there are no surprises.
Things we handle:
✔ Home purchases and sales
✔ Commercial real estate
✔ Contract review and negotiation
✔Title review and insurance
✔ Deed preparation and recording
✔ Refinances and mortgages
02
Landlord & Tenant
Small landlords and tenants alike — straight answers about leases, deposits, repairs, and what to do when things go sideways.
New York's landlord–tenant rules are a lot to keep up with, especially if you only own one or two properties — or if you're a tenant who just got a notice you don't understand. We help both sides: drafting sensible leases, handling non-payment and holdover cases, sorting out security deposit disputes, and dealing with habitability and repair issues. Whenever we can, we try to settle things without going to court.
Things we handle:
✔ Residential and commercial leases
✔ Non-payment and holdover cases
✔ Security deposit disputes
✔ Notices to cure and quit
✔ Eviction defense for tenants
✔ Habitability and repair claims
03
Small Court Matters
Not every dispute needs a courtroom showdown. When it does, we show up prepared — and we keep it proportional.
We handle small claims, civil cases, contract disagreements, and neighbor disputes in town, village, and city courts around the Hudson Valley. The goal is always the same: get you a fair outcome without running up a bill bigger than the problem itself. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fighting.
Things we handle:
✔ Small claims and civil court
✔ Contract and collection disputes
✔ Neighbor and boundary matters
✔ Demand letters and settlements
✔ Town and village court appearances
04
Traffic Tickets
Speeding ticket, cell phone, CDL issue? Don't just pay it — let us see if we can get it reduced first.
A ticket isn't just a fine — it's points on your license, higher insurance, and sometimes your livelihood if you drive for a living. We handle speeding, cell-phone, equipment, unlicensed, and suspended-license charges in town and village courts throughout the Hudson Valley. Most of the time, you won't even have to appear; we go for you.
Things we handle:
✔ Speeding and moving violations
✔ Cell phone and equipment tickets
✔ Unlicensed / suspended license
✔ CDL driver representation
✔ Out-of-state drivers in NY courts
05

We're a New York Notary Public and handle acknowledgments, jurats, affidavits, powers of attorney, and the usual documents that need a stamp. Walk-ins are welcome when the schedule is clear; a quick phone call ahead is always a good idea. Please bring a valid ID and leave the document unsigned until you're with us.

✔ Acknowledgments on deeds and contracts
✔ Sworn affidavits and jurats
✔ Powers of attorney
✔ Consent and travel authorizations
✔ Walk-ins and scheduled appointments
06
Starting a Business
Forming an LLC or a corporation the right way — so you can stop worrying about the paperwork and get back to the work.
Starting a business should be exciting, not a paperwork nightmare. We help you pick the right structure (LLC, PLLC, corporation, or partnership), file with the State, handle New York's LLC publication requirement, draft your operating agreement, and get your EIN so you can open a bank account and get going. Clear flat fees on most formations.
Things we handle:
✔ LLC, PLLC, and corporation setup
✔ Operating agreements and bylaws
✔ NY LLC publication requirement
✔ EIN and initial filings
✔ Partnership agreements
✔ Foreign-entity qualification in NY
Not on the list? Just ask.
✔ Simple wills and powers of attorney
✔ Contract review
✔ Business dissolution
✔ Private mediations
✔ Opinion letters and document review
✔ Other matters — just ask
We take on a lot of other matters case-by-case — a quick phone call is the fastest way to find out if we're a fit.
Still not sure? Call us anyway.
No meter, no pressure. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you, and we'll do our best to point you toward someone who is.
