Why Hire a Property Attorney
The Frank Law Firm provided me with legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I came to them to review and explain a legal contract I had signed. Amanda was very knowledgeable and explained the document thoroughly. She was very reassuring, and honest in answering all my questions. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking legal representation to reach out to this firm.
Thomas Frank came highly recommended by an attorney I trust and represented me in a complex matter against a large business entity represented by a large NYC firm. He immediately grasped the nature and scope of my case and came up with a brilliant, linear strategy in short order. Just as swiftly, Thomas strategically executed on each step. I have worked with white glove law firms and have never found the level of consistency and professionalism that Thomas provided in his capacity of counsel. He literally made zero mistakes, even in the moments of game time decisions in the courtroom. Not only that, his creativity and judgement led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations, and, as a human being, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Thomas Frank highly enough!
We came to Frank Law Firm because our original attorney put us in a scenario where everything was mismanaged. Amanda quickly cleaned up our previous attorneys mess and put us back on track. From day one they were very transparent about their process and fees. They provided fantastic guidance for us as new home owners. The team was highly responsive and often took time to ensure we fully understood potential outcomes and next steps. Overall we would work with them again and recommend to friends.
Amanda was a pleasure to work with!!! Selling and buying a home at the same time is very stressful too begin with and my experience was very difficult and stressful to say the least. Amanda was so patient, always available, and very knowledgeable to every question and concern that I had. I was truly blessed to have her represent me with both of my transactions. I would definitely recommend The Frank Law Firm to anyone that is looking for the best lawyers out there!!!
Amanda was extremely attentive and followed up on everything promptly. The law firm was professional and courteous and I highly recommend it.
Top of the line customer service. Helped me get my moving violation dismissed and I didn't have to do anything ! Was certain I would get in some trouble but was completely shocked when I received the news that it was completely dismissed. In the past with other law firms I paid a lot of money to only get the penalty months later. The Frank Law Firm dealt with my situation in the most kind and professional way. Very nice people.

Thomas Frank was a pleasure to work with. The experience was nothing but a professional one. Mr. Frank guided me through the whole process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was always available to reach by email or texting at any time that I contacted him. He never failed to get back to me within hours. I highly recommend Mr. Frank for all of your legal issues. Also, you'll find their price for their legal services to be more than fair. Again, a great big thank you to a professional and knowledgeable team.
I needed an attorney quick fast and in a hurry. My girlfriend recommended this firm. I called and Amanda got back to me quickly. She researched my issue and gave me good guidance. She is a former prosecutor but able to explain convoluted legal concepts in a very straight forward way. We didn't wind up retaining the firm due to the time contraints of our case, but I know we will be working with them in the future. Give them a call, I think you will like what you hear.
I would like to thank Thomas in handling my first time home buying experience with his law firm. He was very polite and very professional. He even took the time to explain to me page by page about some documents I received from the seller, which by the way it was on his spare time to answer all of my concerns about those documents. He responded on every email and text that I had questions and concerns and I got answers. Thomas made himself accessible and told me if I have any other closing related issues pertaining any documents to give him a call. Thank you once again on doing a great job. I would highly recommend Thomas Frank and his law firm.
I retained Frank Law Firm when I received a warrant for an unpaid ticket. Not knowing the severity of this issue, I called and consulted Amanda. Before giving me any direction, she took the time to make some calls and figure out what exactly was going on. She then guided me through the process. She was very comforting and explained everything in a manor that I understood. I would like to send a sincere thank you to her and Frank Law Firm. The amount of attention and guidance I received was refreshing. I would recommend them to anyone!
The Frank Law firm has helped me and my family tremendously. Amanda has been nothing but a blessing with her vast knowledge and resources, Me and My family were very satisfied with their service. Would definitely recommended them.
I'm a real estate investor in NY and I honestly could not ask to partner up with any firm better than the incredible people at Frank Law Firm. There passion, love and dedication for what they do is evident. I can't thank them enough for everything they have helped me with so far and we are only going to grow from here...

On Long Island, recent reports put typical home prices at roughly $650,000 in Suffolk and over $800,000 in Nassau. At those numbers, a missed title issue or a loose contract clause is not a small problem.
Plenty of firms handle the closing and stop there. If the deal falls apart, you start over with a new lawyer who has never seen your file. We work differently. As a real estate law firm in New York that also litigates, defends foreclosures, and files bankruptcies, we know the Suffolk County courts. The attorney who closes your deal can also defend it.

Hiring a Real Estate Attorney
Have a question about your situation? Start with a conversation.
Ask our team ↗Not every situation legally requires one, but in New York both buyers and sellers almost always have an attorney at the table, and for good reason. Your agent and the title company can't give you legal advice. A real estate attorney reads the contract, negotiates the protections you need, reviews your mortgage terms, and checks title and survey issues before you're committed. On Long Island, where recent reports put typical homes at roughly $650,000 in Suffolk and over $800,000 in Nassau, one overlooked clause is an expensive way to learn that lesson.
Before, ideally. In New York, there's a short attorney review period after the contract is signed, often described as about three days. That's when your lawyer marks up the contract, raises issues, and negotiates changes, and in many deals the contract isn't final until both attorneys approve it. On Long Island, tight inventory means offers move fast, so waiting until your offer is accepted leaves very little room. If you're searching for a real estate attorney near you in New York, make the call while you're still house hunting, and ask how quickly they return calls.
It depends on the deal. Articles on New York closing fees often quote about $2,000 to $3,000 per transaction, and some firms advertise a flat fee of $995. Those numbers can mean very different things, so ask what's included, whether the attorney will negotiate riders or simply approve the broker's contract, and how fast you'll hear back when something comes up. We don't list our fees on this page, but on a free consultation we tell you what to expect and what it costs, so there are no surprise bills later.
You can, and plenty of people do. A referral just isn't the same as vetting. Your agent's job is to get the deal done. Your attorney's job is to make sure it's a deal you can live with. Before you say yes, ask how fast they return calls during the review window, whether they negotiate riders or just approve the broker's contract, and whether they've handled your kind of transaction. Any real estate attorney worth hiring will be glad to answer.
Yes. We handle foreclosure defense, loan modifications, and bankruptcy, so we can look at the house and the debt together before you decide to list. Sometimes selling is the right move. Sometimes there's another option, like challenging the lender or modifying the loan, and the earlier you call, the more choices you usually have. New York has also dedicated more than $150 million since 2012 to free mortgage-assistance help through legal services and housing counseling organizations, and it's worth knowing that help exists. A free consultation costs nothing, and you'll leave knowing your options.
Yes. We work on lease negotiations, zoning issues, development projects, and the sale of commercial property, along with disputes when a deal or a tenant relationship goes wrong. Our office is in Huntington, we know the Suffolk County courts, and we serve clients across Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, and New York City. Small businesses are a big part of the local economy: in Suffolk County, 46.6% of employees work for one. If you're buying property for your business, bring us in early so the lease or purchase terms fit how you plan to use it.
