I have previously worked with dozens of high profile business lawyers from firms such as White &Case and Seward & Kissel. In my experience Ed is the all around best mix of intelligence, compassion, understanding and effectiveness. I've been using his services for personal real estate, traffic, municipal and estate law.
Ed cuts to the chase and instinctively knows what it is you are seeking to Achieve. He addresses the issues in a clear and understandable way with humor and kindness. However, he is a bulldog when standing up for his clients. he is well-respected and incredibly persuasive.. A bulldog with a heart, for sure. I'd recommend him to anyone I know... I am so glad to have had him on my side.

Megha was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her! She is very responsive and will make you feel like her top priority! She always kept me informed and worked promptly with all my other parties from agent to lender during my home buying journey. She also made sure to handle issues even when things got crazy. She always keeps things transparent and truly is there to make sure you have a smooth real estate transaction.

Hire Megha, she is the best! I made the mistake of going with another attorney and was under attorney review for several days where I couldn't even get a hold of him despite numerous calls and emails. I needed to be out of attorney review the following day but wasted several days with another lawyer that did not get me anywhere. I called Megha Patel on a Friday afternoon in a panic that I was going to lose my dream home that I have spent so much time finding. No other lawyer would have been able to do what Megha did for me during this busy market. She reviewed the contract within a couple hours and communicated to the sellers so I did not lose the house. I was amazed!!!! I closed on my purchase with Megha within the same month and now she is representing me on the sale of my property. She was easily accessible and very prompt on responding emails and calls unlike my previous real estate lawyer. I will not hesitate to use Megha's services in the future when I decide to refinance.

A horrendous experience and one I wish I had ended long before today.
I reached out in May of last year for help with a home loan modification. I already had an agreement in place, which I clearly explained, but I hoped for something more flexible considering the pandemic and some other health issues I was going through. I figured legal help might get me what I was hoping for, so I hired Mr. Merino.
I was told it would be a 3-4 month long process...that was 9 months ago.
My term was "zero sum game", meaning I wanted to be at a point where I could make standard payments without having to tack on thousands monthly to cover arears. I wasn't looking for waivers or forgiveness, or even lower payments. What I wanted was to take the arears and tack it to the principle, if possible, understanding as well that there might be a penalty involved.
During the time this was being worked on paperwork constantly disappeared and I was always told it never arrived. The final use of that excuse, I pointed out that it had been sent Certified, requiring a signature: those papers appeared within literal minutes.
This went on for 3 months, until I finally insisted on a face-to-face meeting, in the middle of the Covid shutdown, and me with a compromised immune system, to pass the information: there would be no more lost paperwork. I was given a list of things to bring...and when I got there I was asked to supply two more items that weren't on the list.
I will say that some was my fault. There were times it would take me a week to get the correct information together, but constantly being requested to provide new and different information, or the same information in a different form, was tiresome, and I work 50hrs to 60+hrs a week. I was told that the bank required it all, but I don't believe for an instant the lender wouldn't know what to ask for from the very start.
I asked to be copied on all e-mail correspondence with the lender, and was not. I asked to be e-mailed recaps of all telephone conversations with the lender, and was not. Only at the end of our relationship were most of the e-mail correspondences sent to me, and even then I've been told that there isn't a certainty that all of them were sent, just the ones he could find. Phone calls were sporadic (partly my fault because at first I wasn't diligent, as I should have been), but when they did occur I was very clear on what I wanted, and to his credit there were some calls with good information.
Finally, in late October, 4 months after this 3-4 month process should have already concluded, things finally started to move. Of course, because of the holidays, it was early January before we could really push...and it slogged in to March.
About 2-3 weeks back, I am going to get some great news! After 8 months and thousands of dollars, I was presented with...the EXACT SAME OPTION I ALREADY HAD IN PLACE! Not a single difference from what I had already worked out prior to my relationship with Mr. Merino. 100% identical.
I was presented with an option that I had already explained from the very beginning wasn't feasible.
And to my perception it was presented as though it was a huge win for him and his team. When I noted that they had worked all those months to get to the same point I was already at, and ignored what I wanted to try and do, an assistant advocated for the bank about how great the proposal was, and continued to advocate for the bank even after I requested several times that such not be done.
NOTHING was done to pursue the goal I put forth 9 months ago, until a few days recent, by which time I had already decided to terminate the relationship. Nine months with nothing to show for it.
I cannot begin to relate how disappointed and upset this process has made me.

If I could leave negative stars for this firm, I would. This law firm is working on behalf of Kensington Court Condominiums to remove my sick and mentally incapacitated grandmother from her home. William H. Brosha' Esquire, and the entire law firm are trying to unethically remove my grandmother from her home. He and his team have caused my grandmother epileptic and panic attacks from the stress of losing her home which she has been in for the last 2 decades. We make our payments, and have an agreement with the bank to keep the home. Despite this, William and his team of demon vultures are trying to still remove her from her home. We keep trying to settle with the firm, but they refuse. These greedy parasites wont take any offer no matter how high. If you can avoid this firm like the plague please do. They are in the business of teaming with house associations to remove teannants they personally dont like. Last time I checked, how you feel about someone does not give you the right to remove them from their home.

Ms. Rose not only provided clear and insightful legal advice but also showed genuine care for my situation, making me feel supported and informed every step of the way.
She is a brilliant communicator, ensuring I understood all aspects of the legal process and my options. Her attention to detail and strategic approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for me. I am incredibly grateful for Deborah’s guidance and would not hesitate to enlist her services again if needed.

I was one of the lucky ones to choose Deborah for my Divorce Attorney. I was very comfortable with her from start to finish. She took me through the process, which could be intimidating, covered all the bases and got me better results than I ever could have dreamed of!
