Brickner Makow Llp

Nearly an hour late to my closing and agree with the above reviews, condescending the whole way through. They’re friends with many brokers and it seems like that’s where most of their business comes from — one time referrals and first time buyers that don’t know any better.

Brickner-​Makow is a fantastic real estate legal firm. They represented me through a very difficult seller with poor representation. This is my third closing — their level of professionalism, communication and problem solving is unparallelled by any other firm. I have the highest regard for their work. They helped carry through a deal with numerous incidents and seemingly unending complexity. Calm, cool and collected every time: they explained the options and provided guidance to successfully close. Absolutely the best in Brooklyn, if not all of NYC.
Side note to the comment «overpriced and condescending.» — as a professional services worker myself, I often get annoyed when clients ask me to reduce my rates. The axiom «you get what you pay for» applies here — Brickner-​Makow is a top notch firm with decades of experience. Given the expertise they brought to my purchase, their rates were *very* reasonable in comparison to losing a property or making mistakes in the process. Not once were they condescending, even when I had to ask for clarification three times on an issue. I probably could have saved $ 750 with a less experienced firm, but would have lost the opportunity on a condo we absolutely love and very happy with today. We’re in our mid-​30s and will likely have a purchase or two again in our future, for us, there is simply no other option than Brickner-​Makow.
Tracy, Howard and dedicated staff team — thank you!!!

happily recommend Howard and Tracy to all my buyer and seller clients. They really take the time to explain every document you are signing at the closing.

Brickner Makow were terrific! Howard and Tarcy both worked on my closing, making sure we got a great deal, and hand held through the process (our first real estate deal). When the sellers attorney ROYALLY f-​ed up (didn’t even know she had to order the stock and lease certificate until she showed up at the closing and Howard TOLD her), Howard negotiated a fantastic contract for us, and he really pulled in every favor he could to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. I have great friends who are RE attorneys, but I would still go with Howard and Tracy every time.

Howard Brickner and Tracy Makow are a great team specializing in Brooklyn real estate. A great combination of knowledge, demeanor, and structure. They’ll make what can be a difficult and nerve racking process as smooth as possible. I was a first time buyer and they walked me through and made sure all ducks were in a row. Fairly priced as well.
