Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP

Review for Alexander Kerzhner I’m a property manager in New York and I deal with high-end commercial and residential real estate across multiple LLCs. Finding a good attorney to recommend to my clients has been difficult. We hired Alex for a small project and he performed so well that my group now hires him for pretty much everything. He’s been our go-to for large real estate transactions, closings, leases, tax issues, litigation — and he’s excellent when it comes to negotiating with opposing parties. Efficiency That Actually Saves Money Before working with Alex, we went through over ten attorneys. Every single one had the same problem — simple tasks would go in circles. Questions led to more questions, drafts went back and forth endlessly, and because lawyers bill by the hour some of our clients would complain about larger then expected legal bills with other lawyers we used. Alex is the opposite. He gets things done fast, communicates clearly with our clients, and is very on top of everything. He’s not trying to extend jobs — he gets complex matters done quickly and will guide you so you’re not wasting time. Rachel Partain — The Tax Expert We often deal with extremely complex tax issues tied to the properties because we manage a mix of C-Corps, LLCs, and standard ownership structures. All of the properties in New York have doubled in value over the last 10 years so every sale or transaction leads to complicated tax consequences. We had a nightmare transaction involving owners exchanging C-Corp, S-Corp, and LLC shares, and we called four different tax professionals — not one of them could untangle that mess. That’s when Alex introduced us to Forchelli’s tax specialist, Rachel Partain. She’s brilliant. Rachel and Alex worked together on that deal and saved those families a fortune in taxes. Rachel was kind enough to walk everyone through the details and answer every question, no matter how many times we called. They Actually Care We had a massive deadline involving a ten-property, multi-LLC transaction for our entire group. Alex and Rachel stayed until 9 PM one night making sure everything was completed and filed. That’s not something you get from most firms. They actually care about the families they work with, and we feel very lucky to have found them.

Top notch law firm, offering white glove service. I have been using Alexander Kerzhner for the last 8 years for my legal needs and couldn't be happier with the results, expertise and professionalism.

Excellent firm ! The whole staff and attorneys are amazing and very helpful! Def want these guys on your side!

Alexander is exceptionally thorough, approachable, and responsive. He has a unique ability to break down complex legal issues into clear, practical guidance, allowing me to make informed business decisions with confidence. It’s evident that he genuinely cares about his clients and takes the time to understand their goals rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. What stands out most is his professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail. He is proactive, dependable, and always makes you feel that your matter is a priority. I highly recommend Alexander Kerzhner and his firm to any business owner or professional seeking knowledgeable, trustworthy legal counsel.
