It
certainly is satisfying when you secure the result that your client
hired you for. It is even more rewarding when the client appreciates and
recognizes your efforts.
I recently
and successfully handled two real estate litigation matters for Mr.
Lewis Kaye and his wife Marilyn, who made their mark in New York's real
estate industry.
Below
is a letter from Mr. Kaye that I would like to share with you. Our
effort meant a lot to both of them and I was most pleased to be of
assistance.

To Whom It May Concern:
After
a long and successful career in real estate, my wife and I decided it
was time to consider semi-retirement, However, before we even had a
chance to decide which warm locale to call our home we were faced with
two daunting legal matters that required immediate resolution.
The
first involved a long-time friend and business partner of mine who,
unbeknownst to me, had been embezzling funds from our most recent real
estate ventures. Unfortunately, uncovering his fraudulent activities,
retaking control of the properties and finally negotiating a successful
sale was only the first skirmish in a long and expensive battle. Despite
irrefutable proof of his illicit activities, my former partner had the
gall to sue me for several hundreds of thousands of dollars; claiming he
was entitled to a share of the proceeds.
The
second involved my minority position in a limited liability company
which owned a leasehold in a Manhattan piece of property. My wife and I
were being frozen out of the management of the property and could not
get the minority partners to even return our calls.
SO MUCH FOR RETIREMENT!
Several
friends and business associates suggested retaining Mario to assist us
in handling both matters; to say that he handled both in an excellent
fashion would be an understatement of epic proportion. Beyond his
intelligence and incredible work ethic, his most impressive quality from
my perspective is how involved he became with our situation. It was
almost as of he was the one with the problem, During our initial meeting
Mario mentioned that most of his clients become his friends, and my
wife and I are both proud and grateful to share this sentiment.
As a
result of his efforts, the first lawsuit brought by my former partner
was withdrawn without our having to pay him anything and in respect to
our minority interest in the leasehold, we went from not even having our
calls returned to receiving a very substantial suin-
Fabulous results from a phenomenal attorney and new friend. I recommend him highly.

Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

Mario Biaggi Jr
