A Specialty Practice
Protecting your Church
from preying developers.
If your Church is seeking to sell or develop its land, The Chandler Law Firm will protect you. We have fought and prevailed — at trial and at the Appellate Division of the New York courts.
01
Evaluate the offer
We separate a fair partnership from a predatory offer that undervalues the property, restricts your continuing ministry, or shifts risk onto the congregation.
02
Attorney General approval
Every disposition of Religious Corporation real property in New York requires Attorney General or Court approval. We prepare and shepherd that petition.
03
Litigate if necessary
When the answer is no, or when a developer refuses to walk away, we litigate — and we have prevailed at the Appellate Division.
