Excellent experience. Phil was great to work with. He answered all our questions and followed up with me as needed. Highly recommend.

Phil Azachi from DeCandido & Azachi is a phenomenal attorney! He is able to navigate through complex issues and guide his clients involved in very complicated situations while being empathetic, caring and kind (rare qualities to find in anyone, let alone an attorney). I would recommend Phil and his team to anyone. A true professional through and through.

Phillip Azachi represented me in the purchase and sale of a several properties in Queens county. He did an excellent job in each closing demonstrating a high level professionalism and care. I highly recommend him for your next closing.

Over 4 years I have been getting helps and advices from them. They are very responsible and honest besides being very professional, being able to stand in each client’s shoes, giving best advices and kindly helping clients with compassion and empathy. I definitely recommend them to my relatives and friends.

We have a fitness business in Manhattan and were in negotiation to lease a space from a fitness facility. Phil had previously helped with my estate plan and I reached out to him to assist with the contract negotiation. Phil reviewed the proposed contract tendered by the facility, identified key issues, and then proceeded to redraft the agreement so that it was organized and readable. He was cognizant of my interests and worked quickly to tender a finalized product to the lessor. It was pleasure working with him on commercial leasing and corporate matters. Give his firm a call for your future business dealings.

My brother wanted to find a local lawyer in Forest Hills to organize his estate plan. I found DeCandido & Azachi online and we met Phil for a consultation. Phil provided us with a strategy for my brother’s estate plan. Phil was kind and informative, and he completed the estate plan in a timely manner. We highly recommend Phil and his firm.

I had been looking for an apartment in Manhattan for quite some time. It was difficult to find an real estate attorney who was responsive and attentive. I was referred to Phil Azachi by a close friend. Phil provided excellent services. He reviewed the contract of sale promptly, negotiated the most relevant terms, and helped me close this transaction within thirty days. It was a relief to get this real estate transaction done. It wouldn’t have been possible without Phil’s legal services.

A colleague first recommended that I contact Phil and Bill, and it was one of the best business decisions I've ever made for my company. I have been working with their firm since 2019, initially retained as general counsel regarding some flood-related insurance claims and contractor disputes. However shortly after this the world was introduced to COVID, and Phil and Bill quickly became my closest advisors in navigating the pandemic. I can honestly say that my company would not have survived the pandemic were it not for their counsel, strategic acumen and personal support. Our scope of work involved everything from landlord-tenant negotiations to comprehensive settlements involving multiple parties. Running a business can be equal parts rewarding and challenging. In the challenging times, it's critical to have a trusted legal advisor. I would highly recommend Phil and Bill in this regard.

I retained the services of Phil Azachi after my dad passed away suddenly in July. During one of the most traumatic events of our lives, we found ourselves stuck in working on my fathers estate without a will. Something that seemed extremely difficult and impossible to do without outside help. I was fortunate to come across DeCandido & Azachi who were located close enough for me and my mom to work with. Phil handled every detail with extreme care and professionalism. My mom and I were updated every step of the way, even when we had a couple of small road blocks. His positive outlook, patience with all of our questions, due diligence and expert knowledge, we were able to finish everything in a short amount of time. I highly recommend their services if you find yourself in similar circumstances.

After a lot of researching online, I found the firm of DeCandido & Azachi and I could not have been more than satisfied with their estate services. Phil helped me probate my father’s estate in the Queens County Surrogate’s Court, which he has a deep knowledge of this area of law and works efficiently to finalize affairs. During a very difficult period for me, he guided me through every step of the process with compassion, answered all of my varied number of inquiries and has an excellent ability to listen, communicate and explain such a complex topic for me. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and helping his clients through a difficult process. I highly recommend them and will be retaining their services for any future matters.

Phil Azachi was a pleasure to work with. Phil previously helped sell my grandparents house and so we used him again to sell my parent's home in Queens. His service was excellent! He prepared and negotiated the contract of sale, addressed concerns regarding the title report, and made the closing process smooth and understandable. Phil continues to be a viable resource. Give him a call, you will not be disappointed.
