Gary J Wachtel Esq

Gary has been my trusted lawyer for over 30 years representing me in many different types of real estate related transactions. He is diligent, dedicated and has broad expertise across my various real estate activities including acquisitions, sales, 1031 exchanges, leasing and other negotiated transactions. Just as importantly, Gary can effectively deal with regulatory issues and the courts and there is no one I\'d rather have in my corner.

Horrible. Unprofessional is an understatement. Gary should not be lawyering. He is highly disorganized and will not give a hoot about your case, even when you're paying his hourly rate. Worst of all, he comes into the office with severe mood swings everyday so you don't know what you're going to get. Stay away!

I have worked with Gary for over 20 years and would say that is a testament to his brand. He has successfully represented our mutual clients regarding their commercial office leases, along with building ownerships that my firm provides the leasing and management for. He always gives you 100% and takes pride in his work!!! Also it is important to say that Gary is a GOOD PERSON - I am a firm believer that people enjoy doing business with people they genuinely like on a personal basis. -Michael Kaufman Partner

Gary Wachtel represented us in our claim for unpaid compensation during the economic recession of 2007 when few law firms would have made time for a firm our size. Gary gave important guidance and outlined a litigation strategy that made our complaint valid in the eyes of the court. As a small business in Brooklyn, we found ourselves in the unenviable position of suing a client for the first time since and if it weren't for Gary's assurance that our claim was valid we probably wouldn't have sought redress. If you're looking for a tireless, capable counselor at law as your advocate (especially if you're running a real estate brokerage), Gary Wachtel is the legal advocate you need.

Gary's level of experience, competency and dedication to his craft makes him one of the most valued Real Estate Attorney's in NYC.
