Lawyer for Brooklyn Coop
Looking for a recommendation for a lawyer for our small self managed coop. The lawyer we have now is Manhattan-based and a bit too high powered for our building’s budget–he charges us exorbitantly for even a 10 minute phone call, so as a result we avoid speaking to him unless absolutely necessary.

If any of you know of a lawyer in the neighborhood who isn’t running his meter all the time, a recommendation would be appreciated.
I’ll second wrecks description of Zerline. If you didn’t know she was an attorney you’d never guess. Very pleasant. She was “on the other side” at a closing but I was very impressed. However I have no idea what her experience is with acting as a co-op’s attorney.
We used Jimmy Lathrop last year for a closing on a coop apt. He is thorough, patient and very much on your side.

He handled a particularly hard closing for me and was very knowledgeable. His prices were very fair too
Ed Fusco is wonderful – he’s been the lawyer for our 8 unit coop for 15+ years – he’s smart and organized, yet low key and pleasant. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
These all look great! I’ll check them out. Thanks!
I highly recommend Zerline Goodman. 718-488-7764. zerlineg@gmail.com. She’s fair, incredibly competent, and has a reassuringly calm demeanor. She also listens well.
WonTon,
Try Lenny. He did my closing and few of my friends and family’s closings and I know he does represent quiet a few co-ops in Brooklyn. At some point in the past, he did some legal work for my co-op as well. You can tell him that I sent you (if you remember my off blog name that is).

WonTon, we use Ed Fusco on 7th ave in Park Slope. He holds our books and doesn’t really charge much for anything.
