I engaged Lance Kodish at McDermott Will & Schulte for a complex commercial lease negotiation in Manhattan. While his official recognition in Real Estate Law by Best Lawyers is a recent and impressive achievement, his practical skill was immediately evident. Lance demonstrated a sharp understanding of New York's specific real estate statutes and market nuances. He meticulously reviewed the 50-page agreement, flagged several onerous clauses regarding maintenance responsibilities and renewal options that I would have missed, and negotiated significant concessions from the landlord's counsel. His advice was clear, strategic, and gave me confidence throughout the process. The only minor critique would be that during the initial week of engagement, response times were occasionally slower than expected, likely due to his growing caseload. However, once actively on the matter, his communication was consistent. For a lawyer with his acumen and the firm's reputation, his service represented solid value. I would confidently recommend him for real estate matters and look forward to working with him again.
