Robert A. Karin

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex commercial lease

When our small business faced a daunting and potentially ruinous dispute with our commercial landlord over a lease renewal and extensive build-out obligations, we were referred to Robert Karin. From our initial consultation, his deep and practical knowledge of New York real estate law was immediately apparent. He didn't just recite statutes; he drew on his extensive experience—clearly honed over many years—to outline a strategic path forward. Mr. Karin meticulously reviewed every clause of our existing agreement and the proposed new terms, identifying risks we had completely overlooked. His advice was always clear, direct, and focused on achieving our business objectives, not just winning a legal argument. The negotiation process was tense, but his steady, professional demeanor and formidable negotiation skills were invaluable. He secured a revised lease with significantly improved terms and protected us from hundreds of thousands in unexpected liabilities. It's no surprise to see he is recognized for his work in real estate law. Robert Karin is more than an attorney; he is a strategic partner who provides exceptional counsel. We have the utmost confidence in his expertise and highly recommend him to any business navigating complex contractual or real estate matters.
