A solid, experienced attorney for real estate matters

Steve Sandler's deep experience in Chicago real estate is evident. His 58-year career and recognition in the field gave us confidence during the acquisition of a small commercial property. He understood the nuances of the deal structure. However, our experience was mixed. While his legal advice was sound, communication was sometimes slow, and responses to emails could take several days. For straightforward matters, his expertise from Gould & Ratner is a definite asset, but you must be prepared for a more traditional pace. He knows his stuff on financing and development, but managing client expectations could be improved.
