Protecting Churches from Predatory Developers.
Our real-estate practice has experienced exponential growth representing Churches who are approached to sell or develop their land alongside major New York developers.
We navigate Attorney General approval, evaluate offers on their merits — not on developer pressure — and, when necessary, litigate through the Appellate Division. We have fought and prevailed.
