We were looking for an attorney for the sale of our home. Ted Cotter was recommended to us by a family friend. We were very pleased from start to finish. Ted addressed all my concerns in a timely manner and we didn't have any worries or surprises. Excellent service.

We were incredibly lucky to have Ted and his team's help with the purchase of our apartment in NYC. It was our first time purchasing property in NY, and Ted and Christine were exceptional at helping us every step of the way. Ted was clutch in our closing to resolve an issue were the seller had not provided ample information, and he was always available to answer questions. It was a pleasure working with Ted and his team, and we would use his services again for all future needs.

I had an excellent experience with Ted Cotter and all of the supporting staff at DiVernieri, DiVernieri & Cotter while purchasing a house in Maspeth, Queens during the summer of 2023. They provided assistance at each stage of the process and made themselves available whenever I had questions. Ted and team conducted themselves consistently with professionalism and promptness. In particular, the team excelled with document review. As a first time home-buyer, I was concerned with grasping the breadth of paperwork, nuances of compliance, and financial terminology, but the team walked me through the materials until I was confident. This team has an extensive understanding of NYC real estate and contextualized my purchase within sale trends and regional value. I definitely endorse this team.

Ted and his entire team are fantastic! They not only have a depth of knowledge but also excellent communication. I look forward to working on more real estate transactions with his team in the future!

We sold our house in Staten Island and Ted Cotter handled our closing. Everything was handled professionally and in a timely manner. All of our concerns and questions were addressed. The office staff was wonderful and friendly. We highly recommend Ted Cotter’s law firm.

Ted really exceeded my expectations of a lawyer in the process of buying my first home. He always made time to answer every question - big or small. Would recommend to anyone buying a home in the 5 boroughs.

Theodore (Ted) Cotter recently represented me at the closing of my home in Rockaway Beach NY. His expertise was greatly appreciated. When a few issues arose, Ted was always there for me guiding me through the process. He was patient and knowledgeable and always took the time to answer my questions. The cost was very reasonable and worth every penny especially for all the work he put in!If you are looking for high quality legal services look no further than Ted Cotter.

Ted is great to work with. He explain everything in detail and made the process a better learning experience. If you need an lawyer these are your guys.

I was a real estate lawyer at a large, international, NYC law firm for much of my career. I now own my own private equity real estate firm, which owns several million square feet of commercial real estate. Ted is as skilled and knowledgeable as any of the senior-most partners at any law firm I've ever worked with. He carefully reviewed our contract, title report, and all other attendant docs, including loan docs; he negotiated a great deal for us, and did it in a pleasant way. He's a terrific lawyer, is fairly priced, and is an absolute pleasure to work with; a great sense of humor. This is our family's second transaction with Ted and I'll be certain to recommend him to others and serve as a reference for him anytime. We are going to use him on our next personal deal for sure.

Mr. Cotter helped me get through a nightmarish closing process. My lender made a catastrophic mistake, putting my deposit at risk, however due to Ted's diligence and persistence we were able to secure another lender and satisfy our end of the closing in time. Ted stayed cool even given the circumstance and talked me through the entire process. Thanks to him and the professionals at his firm I was able to close on a property at the height of the pandemic. Don't think twice about calling Ted for sound and reliable advice.

Ted Cotter was extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the duration of my apartment closing.  He instills confidence that things will be completed in a timely and efficient manner.  I would strongly recommend Ted to handle your real estate transaction needs.   

Ted represented me on my condo purchase in Brooklyn and his work was stellar. Professional, diligent, friendly and most of all communicative he definitely navigated the process seamlessly all while keeping my anxiety in check. I can’t thank him and the firm enough for their amazing service!
