Whether it's a house in Westchester, a condominium in Rockland County, or a cooperative apartment on the Upper West Side, buying real estate in New York usually involves a lot of paperwork packed with legal language. Before you sign a Contract of Sale that will obligate you to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, email or call The Donaldson Law Firm so we can make sure your interests are protected, as well as your money.
Considering how infrequently the average homeowner goes through the process of buying real estate, it isn't unusual for there to be some confusion around a buyer's contractual rights and obligations when they're getting ready to make an offer on a piece of property.

Stephen has the utmost integrity in his profession, I can wholeheartedly recommend him for your legal matter. He speaks to you in a clear, concise manner and conveys to you your available legal options. In fact, for the last few years that I have known Stephen, he is very well versed with his legal knowledge and can quickly answer any questions in which I have had.

We contacted Mr. Donaldson regarding a guardianship case. We found him based on his wonderful reviews and I can honestly say, they are all correct. He answered all our questions (and we had a lot of them) as thoroughly as he could. He was careful to get all the facts and then give us all potential scenarios. This was a very emotional and scary process and he did his absolute best to make sure he made it as easy as possible. He is direct and honest and reasonable in terms of price. He is also great about his response time, which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking

My sister and I worked with Stephen Donaldson on a guardianship case and I could not recommend him enough. We had a complicated situation that we needed help navigating and Mr. Donaldson took the time to sit with us, listen to everything and explain all our options as well as what to expect. He is honest and direct, while also sympathetic that this can be emotional. The thought of the process was initially daunting but with his assistance and knowledge, he really made it as simple as possible. Mr. Donaldson answers our emails and calls very quickly and we always feel like he gives us his full attention

Just once in a while, one is privileged to meet a professional of an ilk that surpasses expectations of even the highest standards of performance within a profession that demands the very best of all its exponents. Steve Donaldson is just such a professional, and it is both a pleasure and honor to commend his services to anyone who requires a legal matter not just accomplished professionally, but accomplished to perfection. Steve was totally available to answer all our questions and was instrumental in making a complex matter seem easy. I have since used his legal services and each time we were

I am an avid cyclist and after my bike accident, I knew finding the right lawyer was crucial. I did some research for bike accident specific lawyers and spoke to a few of them briefly about my accident. Once I got in touch with Stephen I immediately noticed the difference in "service". He was much clearer and honest about the case and most of all understood the cyclist mentality first hand. Getting in touch with him is very prompt and direct. Amazing person to have on your side.

Highly recommend, found The Donaldson Law Firm online on a Google search so a bit sceptical. From the first phone call myself and my family felt immediately at ease. His willingness to meet at my mother's house due to her age said it all. As for the legal work. 100% Satisfaction that all our needs were met and resolved. I will be calling Steve soon to get my own Estate planning done. Thank you for putting my mom at ease and clarifying her wishes.

I contacted Mr. Donaldson for an amended deed. He gave me the information that I needed and was extremely fair in price as I have priced out other attorneys in the area. He was very kind and he was very professional. He responded via email promptly and my husband and I were very happy with his services. I will definitely be referring him and using him again in the future

I am very impressed with The Donaldson Law Firm. I spoke with Stephen during a consultation about a potential personal injury case. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows this area of the law well. He asked me some specific questions to understand the details of my case and determine next steps. I would highly recommend this firm.

Steve is an excellent attorney. He is efficient, focused and caring. He got me a Guardianship for a member of my family. It can be a complicated process, but Steve made it simple and quick. I highly recommend Steve as your attorney. If he says he can do it, then you can rest assured it will get done.
