To quote Michael Bloomberg’s mother, Everyone knows how much something costs, but few people know the value. Initially I knew the hourly cost of Luise Barrack and her team, Moshe Nachum & Erica Wells, but I didn’t understand the value. It didn’t take long for my sleepless nights to be converted into a comfortable peace of mind knowing that we had an experienced, hard-working, bright team working on our behalf. They treated us like family and their only clients. They provided us with honest solutions and strategies for dealing with challenging situations. They didn’t cost us money; they made us money. They took the money fear out of the equation and replaced it with friendship.
We will be forever indebted to Luise, Moshe and Erica.”

“I have had a working relationship and friendship with Mike Lefkowitz for approximately 25 years. The thing that differentiates Mike from others is his unique experience relating to growing up in a family real estate business. His views not only stem from a legal perspective but from an ownership operator perspective which is sensible and pragmatic when solving issues that arise.Mike has always conducted himself in the highest of standards always with integrity. He is a incredibly quick study understanding whatever agenda we set out to accomplish and trust him implicitly.”

“I have been working with Rosenberg & Estis for nine years and time and time again, the attorneys rise to the occasion showcasing their in-depth knowledge of real estate law and full understanding of our expectations and key points. We’ve worked on countless fast-paced, extremely complex matters with R&E and each time the experience and dedication of the attorneys have produced the desired results and exceeded expectations. I appreciate our long term relationship, first-rate counsel, and feel incredibly fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with R&E over the years. We congratulate Rosenberg & Estis on their 50th Anniversary and look forward to many more years of working together.”

“I was introduced to Michael Lefkowitz in 2015 by someone we both know well and trust explicitly. This has turned into one of my most important professional and personal relationships. Michael and his partners at Rosenberg & Estis have repeatedly demonstrated deep knowledge and judgement as to when to push for things and when to advise me that while something might be nice to have it is not essential to getting the deal closed. This past summer Michael was advising us on the acquisition of an industrial asset in South Florida, which had an arcane title issue. Having seen this before, he worked hard to understand, mitigate the risks as much as possible, and ultimately get us comfortable with the risks. Michael is a champion of getting the two sides to see the truth rather than focusing on their individual positions, and will often tell me that I can have a good deal that closes or a perfect one that dies, and the choice is mine. Recently, Michael and another R&E partner architected a complicated business restructuring of a closely held investment business, untangling more than forty years of legacy complications. He represented both sides in the transaction, which would have never closed otherwise, as what was at stake were not just assets, but family dynamics, which he navigates so aptly. There are indeed many law firms in New York, but after a decade working with R&E, I know I have the right lawyers on my team. For their wise guidance, I remain forever grateful. Congratulations to the entire firm on this important anniversary!”

“Our relationship with Rosenberg & Estis began over 25 years ago. I originally worked with Warren, who impressed me greatly. I actually felt like I could hear the gears turning in his brain as he considered strategy. Started to work with Adam Lindenbaum with Warren and of course continued! Adam is careful, smart and very effective. We have worked through many complicated issues including managing public relations due to litigation. Rosenberg & Estis is extremely reliable and does their best to help us achieve our desired results. We congratulate them on their 50th anniversary and look forward to continuing our relationship in the years to come.”
