Real reviews from satisfied clients in New York and beyond
I highly recommend Elad Michael.
As someone who runs a business between countries and often manages things remotely between Israel and New York, having a lawyer you can truly rely on is incredibly important.
Elad is extremely responsive and available at all hours. He is always there when you need him, communicates clearly, and tells you things exactly as they are — which I truly appreciate.
He is professional, trustworthy, and very supportive throughout the entire process. His fees are also very fair, which is not always easy to find in New York.
If you are looking for a reliable attorney who is honest, responsive, and especially helpful for people managing things from abroad, I strongly recommend Elad.
I used Elad for a commercial lease in NYC and would definitely recommend him. He’s a really solid real estate attorney who knows what to look for in these agreements.
He caught a few things in the lease that I wouldn’t have noticed and helped negotiate better terms without dragging things out. Super responsive and easy to work with, which made the whole process a lot less stressful.
If you need help with a commercial lease or real estate transaction in NYC, he’s a good person to have on your side.
I represent small-to-mid-sized businesses, landlords, investors, entrepreneurs, and international buyers involved in NYC real estate transactions—commercial purchases, sales, leasing, and litigation.
I handle a broad range of real estate and commercial litigation matters. This includes contract disputes, commercial litigation involving promissory notes and other financial instruments, representation of condominium and cooperative boards, brokerage commission claims, and all types of commercial landlord-tenant disputes.
Yes, I regularly assist Israeli clients with NYC real estate purchases, sales, and investments. I guide them through legal, tax, and financing complexities. Learn more about these services on this dedicated page.
My practice is focused primarily on representing landlords in commercial real estate matters, including commercial leases, mixed-use properties, multi-family buildings, and development projects across New York City. I handle residential matters selectively and primarily in support of investors and sponsors, including acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing of condos, co-ops, and townhouses as part of broader investment strategies.
Yes. I represent both lenders and borrowers in a broad range of debt and equity financing transactions. These include construction loans, mezzanine financing, hard-money loans, acquisition loans, and refinancing. I assist with structuring, negotiating, and documenting complex financing deals, ensuring compliance with local and federal lending regulations. My clients include private lenders, institutional investors, and foreign nationals entering the U.S. market. I also advise on intercreditor agreements, loan modifications, and default workouts.
My clients know I treat every matter as if it’s my own. I bring unwavering commitment, clear communication, and a willingness to do whatever it takes—legally, strategically, and practically—to get the best results possible. That mindset was forged early in my career, when I practiced law in Israel and advised on some of the country’s largest real estate transactions, often working directly with top-tier U.S. attorneys. Today, I bring that same level of precision, urgency, and client-first focus to every deal and dispute I handle in New York.
