Richard is a partner at Klein Greco & Associates LLP. He became a real estate attorney after having worked for several years in his family’s real estate business where he did real estate management and oversaw leasing and sales of both commercial and residential properties.
His first job after graduating from the evening division of Fordham University School of Law was working in the Real Estate Litigation Division of the New York City Law Department. As such, he worked closely with several City agencies on various real estate matters, including the New York City Housing Preservation and Development Agency, the Human Resources Administration and the Economic Development Corporation. As a result of his performance while at the Law Department, Richard was recognized by the Committee of Municipal Affairs of the New York City Bar Association and awarded its prize for Outstanding Achievement as an Assistant Corporation Counsel.
Always being the entrepreneur, when an opportunity presented itself, Richard took it and bought a restaurant business in Brooklyn. In order to better focus on the restaurant, Richard decided at the same time to go out on his own and become a solo practitioner focusing solely on real estate. On his own, Richard’s practice included residential and commercial transactions, commercial leasing, general governance of cooperative and condominium buildings, and real estate litigation.
While the restaurant lasted approximately four (4) years, Richard successfully maintained his solo law practice for sixteen (16) years until he was solicited to join a small Manhattan law firm as a partner to head up its cooperative/condominium department. While there, Richard oversaw the legal representation of approximately seventy-five (75) cooperative and condominium buildings.
Now at Klein Greco, Richard is all about building relationships with his clients and helping them navigate the New York real estate scene. With both litigation and transactional experience, Richard helps his clients through problems with the aim of solving them expeditiously and always to his clients’ satisfaction.
