Can anyone recommend a real estate lawyer for a first-time buyer looking for a 2-family property?

Long time lurker and first time poster here. I’ve searched the forum without much luck.. just wondering if anyone has glowing recommendations for someone in particular.

Hi, I used Lynn Sculley for the purchase of my two-family in Bed Stuy three years ago.  She was also our lawyer 13 years back when we bought a co-op in Clinton Hill.  She was great, flagged all concerns about the contract, explained our options and answered our questions, and was a firm (but personable) negotiator with the seller’s attorney. Her number is 718-499-6481.   Hope that helps.
