“During my 6 years as a real estate agent, I have never been more impressed with a real estate attorney than I have been with Nick. His patience and dedication are never ending. He is thorough, always responsive, and trustworthy. I recommend him to every single one of my clients, and I even used him for my own transaction. He takes time to explain things to his clients, and always keeps their comfort and best interest in mind. I cannot recommend him more highly. You won't be disappointed!”
Justine L.
“Highly professional and sophisticated law firm! We have now used Nick Bowers twice (once from the buy and the second time from the sell side) and couldn't be more thrilled with his professionalism, respect, and attention to detail. Both closings went smoothly given his firm's deep experience. We also had an issue when purchasing a home related to the seller, and Nick went above and to fix the issue without charging more for all his extra time...he truly cares about his clients!”
Vamsi Y.
“We used them for a (co-op) home purchase in Brooklyn. It's kind of nuts to consider how much work they put into the process given how reasonable their price was. They were always available to us for questions and pushed the process forward when needed. Closing was super smooth. We felt very lucky to have them on our side.”
Kevin E.
“Nick was awesome helping us with our condo purchase and closing. It was our first time buying and he was super nice and patient answering all of our questions. He is prompt, efficient, and handled everything with ease. We will definitely use him for all of our future real estate transactions.”
Stephen Y.
“Nick Bowers is a top notch attorney. He represented me for my condo purchase but based on how he handled this I would go to him for other services as well. When we were going over the contract, he took the time to address all of my concerns and explain the fine print - he speak in a way that anyone can easily understand. His knowledge of real estate transactions is superb! He and his team responded timely to emails, were organized, and worked efficiently and quickly to make sure that I was aware of all important deadlines and tasks. Thank you Nick Bowers and team - I am a very happy homeowner.”
Susie L.
“Nick and his team have worked with dozens of my residential sales clients over the past 5yrs to review/negotiate contracts, perform due diligence and support exclusive listings. In every situation, the quality of work done and customer service provided exceed expectations. Transactions always close on time, and clients are universally happy. I am very pleased to refer Nick and his team to all my clients, family and friends. And will continue to do so going forward.”
Soren B.
“Nick Bowers is not only a terrific attorney but, he is a wonderful person. He was most helpful and generous with his time and legal acumen. I will forever be grateful for his kind approach. He was the bright spot in an otherwise tense situation.”
Suzin C.
“A couple of caveats first. (1) I am tough -- you can look through my review distribution and see that I am not shy about keeping businesses accountable. (2) I rarely have an experience with a lawyer that is positive. I always get stuck with a bill that is unexpectedly high or getting shuffled between junior less experienced lawyers. That said, working with Nick has been awesome. He is thoughtful and thorough. He takes ownership for his work and follows the steps and details of the transaction closely. I was never worried that I would not be able to reach him or that he would overlook the details. He is smart and he has your back. He has now worked on 3 real estate transactions for me. I will continue to use him for all my transactions in the NY area.”
Kevin G.
“Nick has been my real estate attorney for many years. He has successfully negotiated and closed two complex condo transactions on my behalf. Nick and his staff are professional, responsive and thorough. In addition, to knowing the ins and outs of Manhattan real estate, Nick is also extremely attentive to his clients and understands the stresses involved in buying or selling an apartment. I highly recommend Nick!”
Allison C.
“As a real estate investor, I give a lot of respect to this professional, reliable and transparent team led by Nick. Great communication and lead from A-Z. They will definitely become my go-to legal professionals for any real estate transaction in NY!”
Alon I.

Grahame H.
“Nick was recommended to me by a friend who bought a house in Bushwick, and he did a tremendous job working on our purchase of a co-op apartment in prospect heights. He worked through a variety of complex and difficult situations that arose while always advocating our best interests. Nick and his team were always available over the phone and email to answer any all of our questions. If you're looking for a real estate attorney - you're not going to find any one better than Nick.”
A. G.

K.S.
“We needed a real estate attorney for the purchase of our first home (an apartment in Brooklyn) and Nick came highly recommended by our broker. Nick and his associates were extremely responsive, reliable, responsible, and reasonable. Nick made the arduous process of buying a home in NYC easier and we couldn't be happier with the level of service he provided. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Nick again for any future real estate transactions and can't say enough nice things about him and his professional staff.”
Michael M.
“As a Real Estate broker, I can't say enough positive things about Nick and his office. In fact, he's always first on my list of attorneys I recommend for my buyers and sellers. He's easy to get in touch with, and is patient when my clients have questions. His closings are always efficient, and he is a very proactive problem-solver. I will continue to recommend Nick and everyone at his office, and look forward to working with him again!”

Dan P.
“Had a great experience with Nick when my wife and I bought our co-op and he represented us in the transaction. We were first-time buyers and he was patient and helpful throughout the process.”
Matthew Z.
“Just purchased a new home in Manhattan and can't say enough great things about Nick and his colleagues! Nick was very patient through the process and took as much time for us as we needed to understand the process. Buying a home is particularly nerve-racking so it was so nice to work with a lawyer that was always there when you needed something. Super responsive and also very thorough. It was apparent how strong Nick's experience was in real estate throughout our transaction. Highly recommend to anyone!”
Kris Y.

Martin P.
“We have used Andrew Jorges for two recent NYC co-op purchase closings and found him to be an outstanding advocate for us; and collegial and easy to work with. His real estate knowledge in a complex marketplace was evident throughout the process and his communications kept us fully apprised and on track. We would recommend Andrew to anyone considering a co-op/condo purchase or sale.”
Richard S.
" Andrew was our lawyer on a sponsor transaction in NYC. He was extremely knowledgeable about the developer, the building and the nature of these types of transactions. It was rather complicated on our side and Andrew was both extremely clear in his communications and played the quarterback role effectively as he coordinated across multiple geographically disparate parties. The closing was fast and successful thanks to Andrew. I will work with Andrew in the future and would highly recommend others do the same.”
Sean S.
“I worked with Andrew on my first property purchase in New York. He was calm and authoritative throughout, and helped make what could have been a stressful and intimidating process absolutely seamless. He was always available - and explained the process step by step. Would give a 10 star review if Google would allow it.”
Bobo K.
“Nick is a great lawyer. He really looks out for his clients. We were selling our condo without an agent. He recommended a few great agents to make sure we were getting a fair price. Answered a million questions and gave great advice. Both Nick and Andrew were always available either by phone or e-mail at almost any hour. The personal service that we received went above and beyond our expectations. Our closing couldn't have been any easier. I highly recommend Nick and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”
Catherine C.
“Andrew is 100% the attorney you want representing you in a real estate transaction. Whip-smart, responsive, reachable (huge plus!), friendly, and proactive, he will make sure you are prepared and well represented throughout your transaction. He took his time to answer all of my (many and endless) questions. I would love to work with Andrew again. Thanks Andrew!”
Patty H.
“We used Nick for a COOP purchase in Brooklyn.. if they had 10 stars we'd give it to him. Amazingly nice, very responsive.... our first deal fell through and Nick did the 2nd one as well with no extra fees... he's the best!!!!”

The outcome was in our favor - I will absolutely be recommending Andrew to my friends and family.”
Ulysses M.
“Working with Andrew Jorges as our real estate lawyer was an absolute pleasure. He was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough throughout the entire process of purchasing our NYC apartment. His attention to detail and ability to anticipate any potential issues made the transaction run smoothly and stress-free. He was always available to answer any questions we had and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. In addition to his exceptional legal skills, Andrew also has a deep understanding of the NYC real estate market, which was invaluable in helping us find the perfect apartment. He is well-connected and has great relationships with other industry professionals, which made the process even more seamless. He also had great negotiation skills, which helped us get the best deal possible. Overall, we are extremely grateful to have had Andrew as our lawyer and feel confident that we would not have been able to purchase our dream apartment without his expertise. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and we cannot recommend him enough. Andrew Jorges is the best real estate lawyer in NYC, hands down!”
Kent B.

“Andrew Jorges was the attorney who handled the sale of my co-op apartment in Manhattan, which closed on 8/28/2023. I was completely satisfied with the way Mr. Jorges handled all aspects of this matter, and I highly recommend him. In all my dealings with him, it was clear that my interests were his #1 priority. He handled all matters relative to my case swiftly and carefully, including on weekends and holidays. When a serious problem arose with regard to the transaction, he guided me through the situation to completion. Difficulties were avoided or minimized. Also, he was extremely sympathetic to my position and feelings. During the Closing his focus on my end of the transaction was complete, as he methodically reviewed all the documents to be signed with me, explaining each one fully and succinctly. To summarize, it was a pleasure to work with Mr. Jorges, and I recommend him without hesitation.”

He is an expert in all facets of a complicated industry, and I trust him implicitly as my advocate. Andrew has the unique ability to distill complex concepts into digestible terms - which is such an essential asset when dealing in real estate contracts. He's quickly responsive, thorough, and professional - I don't think I'd have been able to successfully sell or buy without his guidance. I'd absolutely recommend Andrew without hesitation!.”

We went through an extremely difficult closing with an impossible board and a non responsive buyer. Andrew was on top of it all. He fought for me at every turn and every second. His experience is priceless and he is beyond reasonable and thinks about the overall good. I really cannot say enough great things. He will be representing me again and again.”

BSG
“Prompt, professional, knowledgeable , friendly service, reasonable fees. Would highly recommend him to everyone. I’d use him again in a heartbeat.”
Eva M.
“It was a pleasant surprise to discover that Andrew had started his own firm; he facilitated a transaction while at a previous firm and another just recently with his own firm. I can't recommend him & his team enough! Andrew is decisive and frank, will lay out best- and worst-case scenarios, but he'll still also elaborate to you whatever you may need more understanding on, regardless of how stupid you may feel for asking. Correspondence was a bit of a hurdle for most of this last transaction because of our differing time zones but we eventually overcame it, thank you.”
Isabel de C.
“Andrew has now represented my family on three real-estate transactions. Each time, he has exceeded our expectations on all aspects of the deal. He is thorough, prompt and always willing to explain things to you in ways you are sure to understand. Andrew asks questions to make sure you are covered for everything you have and have not considered. I highly recommend working with him and will turn to him again next time we need help in this space.”
Steve T.
“Andrew represented me in purchasing my first apartment in NYC. Working with him put me at ease throughout the process for a few reasons. First, Andrew had a ton of experience that he brought to bear and could help me benchmark what I was hearing from the sellers and their attorneys and other folks involved compared to his past transactions. Second, Andrew was masterful with numbers and calculations, which was very critical as we prepared to close. And most importantly, he was an independent party I could trust throughout the process- he had no hidden agenda and his interests were completely aligned with mine. I found him and his team to be easy to work with, extremely diligent, hardworking, and professional. They were worth every penny, and when it comes time to sell, I wouldn't work with anyone else. Thank you!”
Chantalle H.
“Andrew represented me last year when I bought a new home. He was extremely meticulous throughout the entire process from the initial contract to our final close and follow-up. He was very transparent with me regarding all the important aspects of the contract and fought hard on my behalf to make sure I was well-protected financially and legally against any unforeseen circumstances. I felt that I was in extremely capable hands and his professionalism and quality of work was absolute top-notch. I would enthusiastically recommend Andrew to other potential clients.”
Matt G.
“Andrew represented me on my first brownstone purchase in Prospect Heights, and it couldn't have been easier. He knows the market very well: he was very familiar with both my broker and my seller's broker from previous transactions. He responded to all of my questions promptly, and even got on the phone with my parents to calm them down about NY real estate laws. He was able to catch very small inconsistencies in the contract, quickly hired a professional to check it out, and was able to negotiate with the seller's lawyer to have things sorted out before the day of the purchase. I would absolutely recommend Andrew to anyone engaging in a real estate transaction in New York City.”
Lizzy R.

He knows his ins and outs better than anyone in the business and always is speedy with his responses to his clients, which is a rare commodity for RE lawyers.”
