Business Transactions

“We had used Ana's service for 2 occasions. I never knew before she is so great! Not only she has over 20 years experience in the legal expertise of commercial/ business transactions, she is ultimately dedicated to her clients: She made herself available 24/7, telling us to feel free to call her anytime even on the weekends; reply our emails within a very short time frame, mostly in a couple hours. I never experienced a lawyer's attention so swift like Ana. During the crucial closing period, she rearranged her whole schedule to accommodate our needs. She is tough as a nail in negotiations to fight for clients benefit, insisted upon the details she considers important, magically, she always succeeded in our case. She is on top of everything, always wrote us itemized summary points, which is easy for us to understand, and command our situation.

Everyone needs a lawyer and an accountant for legal and financial consultation. Ana will always be someone we refer to for legal matters. Her trustworthiness, dedication and generosity are peerless.”

Trusted Advisor

“Ana guided me through the process of forming my own company in New York State. In addition to preparing and filing the legal documents, Ana also took the time to explain related requirements, such as publication and obtaining an EIN. She explained the importance of establishing proper business operations, such as a separate bank account, insurance and certain accounting-related matters. She ensured that I started my new business properly, so that I could focus on building it.”

Someone Who Knows Their Stuff

“I am a Veteran who had the opportunity to work with Ana Galeano in a recent commercial real estate transaction in excess of $1 million. I was purchasing a major property in Schenectady, NY and needed an attorney with experience in real estate. Ana provided me with an opportunity to speak with her extensively at no charge to discuss questions and issues prior to my decision to retain her to represent me. One of my biggest concerns was the timeliness that was required due to tax incentive deadlines. Ana and her associates worked feverishly to meet the closing deadline. Many individuals at the closing table commented to me about how it was the quickest commercial transaction they had been a part of. This was even more impressive when you consider the uniqueness of the closing and several unpredictable complications that arose during the closing process. The transaction involved tax issues and a transfer of agreements with the local metroplex authority. Throughout the deal, Ana was very responsive and always made herself available through the critical period of negotiating contracts and closing the deal. In fact, she was available on weekends (without charging extra) and went above and beyond on many occasions to ensure the deal closed by the tax deadline. It involved a large number of parties (buyer, seller, tenant, bank, lender's counsel, brokers, agents), and Ana was very effective in communicating with all parties, including the attorney for the local authority. In addition, Ana has been responsive and available for post-closing matters, such as obtaining appropriate insurance, providing property management contracts, and guiding me through general issues with the property. I would not hesitate to recommend Ana Galeano to anyone who needs competent, trustworthy, and responsive legal counsel or representation.”
