Reliable and knowledgeable counsel for our commercial real estate deal

Peter Zagotta at Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila provided excellent representation for our firm during a complex commercial property acquisition in Chicago. His 11 years of experience were evident as he navigated the intricate financing structure and due diligence with a diligence that was truly impressive. We specifically sought him out for his recognized expertise in project finance, and he delivered, identifying several potential pitfalls in the loan documents that others might have missed. Peter’s advice was consistently honest and pragmatic, which we valued immensely. The only minor critique would be that during the final, intense negotiation period, response times occasionally stretched a bit longer than ideal, though the quality of the work never wavered. Overall, he was a tremendous asset, and we would confidently engage him again for corporate or transactional matters.
