I have been doing business with Mr Ratowitz for over 8 years. He has been there for my family and I on every single transaction.. And there have been many, mostly commercial Real Estate on both ends, Purchasing and Selling. And a few Residential properties as well. Mr Ratowitz always takes the time to explain every detail of every transaction- He also is the most attentive person I have ever dealt with. Mr Ratowitz is an excellent attorney and a great person who really cares about his clients, and he doesn’t just work 9-5... Hes been there for us anytime we requested his assistance. He’s honest and straightforward and it’s been a pleasure doing business with him the last 8 years, and I look forward to the next 8 years!!
