We at the World Wide Group have depended on the advice of the partners and associates of Belkin Burden and Goldman for over 25 years. They have successfully guided us through tenant litigation, DHCR issues, tenant buyouts; as well as, providing us critical advise as we put together multiple complex assemblages. I appreciate their judgement and integrity, consistently informing us of the risks and rewards of our strategies. Most importantly they are accessible, the attorneys at BBG have a impressive understanding of the urgencies of developing and managing real estate in New York City’s unforgiving market.

Jeff Goldman, Esq and Belkin Burden Goldman have represented our company in numerous real estate litigation matters for more than 15 years. Jeff and BBG have always provided us with extremely competent and sound legal counsel. Aggressive when necessary while still understanding the big picture and leading us to amicable resolutions when best. Their pricing structure has always been fair. Finally, we have always found them to be highly ethical. I highly recommend their firm

I’ve worked with many different law firms and attorneys throughout my career and can say with confidence working with David Skaller has been the best experience. His attention to detail, his responsiveness, his honesty are only a few things that made our experiences a pleasure. BBG LLP is a full-service firm, so David has recommended different attorneys within the firm for specific tasks, and they have all done a great job.

They are the best Landlord/Tenant attorneys in NYC! We have been dealing with the firm for our NYC properties (rent stabilized, market rate and commercial tenants) for more than 20 years. They can deal with any issue or case you may have. Their attorneys, and other administrative staff, and we have dealt with many of them, are the most professional, very responsive and can help with any situation.

Excellent quality. Expert analysis. Very Responsive and detail-oriented. At Vandenberg, The Townhouse Experts® we have referred BBG dozens of times for closings, rent regulation analysis and litigation. And we have directly hired a number of BBG attorney specialists for a variety of real estate matters. Over our 30 years in the business, we’ve seen dozens of attorneys at work, and we can say without qualification that BBG is second to none.
