Daniel handled our case and our individual needs with care and a great deal of knowledge. I felt he took his time with us and made sure we were able to understand all aspects of our contract. He and his staff were quick to get back to us, well organized, and very efficient!

I've met few professionals who take such care and personal interest in their clients like Dan does. Always available, always there to provide sound counsel and judgement. I trusted every step of the way that he was protecting my family's interest and guiding us to make the right decisions. His staff is also first rate. He takes the time to make sure you understand the issues involved in your case/issue and walks you through every single step. I can't recommend anyone more.

We recently utilized Dan in the purchase of a residential property. As a first time buyer and not familiar with the intricacies involved, Dan and his Team made the entire process fully transparent which transpired in a smooth closing with no surprises. At the closing, Dan demonstrated his commitment to the client by taking charge of the entire process with all relevant parties present and examined all associated documents in minuscule detail. We are glad to have Dan and his Team on our side.

Daniel Tota is not only well versed in dealing with all tax related matters but is also able to provide counsel in a variety of other financial, business and family issues. He was very easily accessible at all times and kept me up to date on all matters. He was very knowledgeable and researched current changes in the laws required. He remained professional at all times and worked diligently while representing my case. His staff were also very professional, pleasant and efficient.

We were recommended to Mr. Tota by our Real Estate agent. What a wonderful experience. Mr. Tota and his team made buying a home in New York a pleasant experience. They were always available when we needed any questions answered and were there for us from start to finish. Mr Tota took the time with us to make sure we knew what to expect and made sure we were fully informed and understood any of the papers we needed to sign or any of the responsibilities we had as buyers. I would recommend them!!

My husband and I worked with Dan to buy our first home. Dan is a very nice person, his very careful working style and his sunny smile made us super comfortable. He explained all the things in a very clear way. He successfully negotiated with the lender and the other party to get the most benefit for us and also made the closing very smooth. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

My wife and I got involved in a short sale and retained Dan Tota to be our counsel. As so many short sales do, this became a nightmare and dragged on for months. Dan provided us with exceptional counsel, represented us well to the other side and ultimately got us out of that never-ending process and through a straight sale on another property in just 30 days. He worked tirelessly on our behalf and responded to all our questions, no matter how trivial. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dan is a consummate professional, who not only was an excellent communicator and advocate, but anticipated problematic areas and had the strategies in place for if and when they arose. In addition, he went the extra mile and coordinated a back to back closing for the buying and selling of our homes, as well as acting as the bank attorney for the purchase.
