Client,
First and foremost, welcome! We would like to personally thank you for your interest in our firm which is not something we take for granted.
Your overall satisfaction is our top priority.
We know there are many attorney options available, and sincerely appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us. For over 20 years we’ve been committed to transactional residential real estate closings by implementing the highest quality, most effective solutions in the industry. We think you’ll agree.
To that end, please allow us a moment to explain a few important things you will need to know before you decide to retain us. If you are reading this, you are either buying or selling a home which is a huge financial decision. Whether you are a first-time homeowner or someone who last did so thirty years ago, that is not a decision that is made lightly.
If you are just looking for a quote for our legal services, you have come to the wrong place. Remember, you get what you pay for.
At the Diamond Law Group we believe in efficiency, transparency, communication and education. With that, we invite you to review what we have to offer as your prospective real estate attorney below.
Who we are:
We have closed over 13,000 transactions valued at over $7.1B. Feel free to check out our geographic interactive map. You may have been referred to a family friend who once used an attorney for some other type of law, but unless they solely handle residential transactions, chances are they are a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. You certainly would not see a cardiologist for a foot problem!
Our staff members are solely dedicated exclusively to residential real estate, our office works as a cohesive unit of professionals who are intimately familiar with every single transaction; thus any one of us can assist you with your transaction in real-time.
In charge is one of our managing partners. They oversee everything behind the scenes to make sure that all aspects of your transaction are handled flawlessly.
At the Diamond Law Group, we do not send random ‘of counsel’ per diem closers who may not even be attorneys (as many other firms frequently do)! When interviewing our competitors be sure to specifically ask about this! You deserve to have an actual attorney with you at closing! That’s what you are paying for, after all.
Most inquiries can be handled through email which usually provides the quickest response; of course, we are also always available via telephone during normal business hours.
What we do differently:
Once you have reached out to us, we will take the liberty of complimentarily registering you with our interactive website; an e-mail confirmation will be arriving shortly thereafter. Please check your junk/spam folder if you did not receive it in your inbox (if not then just simply send us e-mail as the initial automated e-mail may have been blocked as spam by your server).
Please click here for a demonstration of how our exclusive industry-only website works.
When we should be retained:
If you are even thinking of buying or selling a home, you should retain us immediately. Even if you do not have an accepted offer at this time! You have questions, we have answers. You do not want to feel rushed making this decision as often is the case. Having an attorney on retainer will assure you that throughout the process you will have the level of support you deserve and frankly are entitled to.
Where we are located:
We have multiple convenient locations:
5173 Merrick Rd., Massapequa Park, NY 11762
25 W. Main St. Smithtown, NY 11787
786 Evergreen Walk, Ocean Beach (Fire Island), NY 11770
All offices are fully staffed and ready to assist you. Be wary of some firms that simply put a misleading “satellite office” on their letterhead without any actual community presence there.
Why we should be retained:
While we do not believe online reviews mean everything, they do mean something! Feel free to take a look at ours then compare it to our competitors. We love it when a previous client takes time out of their day to pay us a compliment.

In reality, any attorney can fumble through an easy real estate transaction. But, when there are bumps in the road, which there often are, that’s when a truly experienced professional demonstrates their value.
