I was in an unfortunate situation where the zoning of a building changed where I was the owner/operator of the restaurant, along with managing the residential apartments above. I hired Goldman Harris, and with their clear path, we worked with multiple city agencies to navigate the very difficult zoning laws. They showed compassion to my specific situation and led me to the path of achieving something that most small mom and pop business owners never have the chance of doing based on timing and the exhaustive costs involved. Goldman Harris reduced their fees and genuinely cared about or dilemma. Fast forward over 11 years later, we are a thriving business employing almost 100 employees.

Goldman Harris assisted out organization with processing a New York City rezoning through ULURP. Their team helped us through the process which many of our team had not directly led before. Carrie and her team were great teammates in this effort. She has wonderful relationships throughout the city.

Goldman Harris has been the first counsel to discuss when we look for a new acquisition opportunity. Very accessible and prompt in response with their expertise in NY region for real estate.
