Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C.

We would like to thank all of the media coverage for highlighting our landmark victory in this lending industry litigation ending at the Appellate Division. As noted in one media source: "GREAT NECK, N.Y./PRNewswire/ -- Sharestates, an originator and servicer in the private lending and loan syndication industry, today announced a landmark legal victory in a case at the heart of mortgage enforcement and lending industry business practices. The case is considered a landmark victory with wider industry implications because the court's ruling underscores the principle that if a party takes out a mortgage and receives its benefits, the mortgage will be deemed valid, and parties who accept the benefits of a transaction cannot later contest its validity to gain an unfair advantage."

Imagine buying a vacant building and when you start the demolition strangers come out of the ceiling claiming they have lived in the building for years. This is their story.  

This case is one of our most underrated cases that keeps getting challenged 22 years later. But the law has held its ground. No matter who has cause the repair the cooperative board is responsible for making the repair. There are no exceptions. Too many of our adversaries just are not educated on this decision.

Here is a piece of history from our offices. This year, we are celebrating 25 years. From Adam Leitman Bailey's first business card, from when he couldn't find a job and was working from his apartment, to his first two jobs, where he did his real estate training. It is missing his first office, but the rest is history.

25 years ago today, Adam Leitman Bailey, P.C. was born. We have been kicked in the teeth and beaten down to the core. We had moments of not knowing if we had the strength to carry on another hour in pursuit of justice for that client who needed us to hang on. And we have never given up on a case, a matter, a deal point, or anything that has mattered to a client. We were built to do the impossible, create miracles, and find that unicorn. 25 years ago today, we opened our doors trying to create the finest real estate law firm in New York. We certainly have worked the hardest, sweated the most, and put together some of the best work product. Over and over again, our belief in ourselves in seeking justice and fighting against injustice has propelled us into the firm we are today 25 years later.

Our paralegals surprised Adam Leitman Bailey with a bobblehead of himself. A few years ago, Wells Fargo gifted him with a similar bobblehead. Which one do you think looks more like him?

Happy to see that even ChatGPT knows who's best in New York Real Estate Law!

The Jury Trial. One of the most exciting times in a lawyer's life--in my life. The gamble of a corporation or a person's financial or property's fate in the hands of your peers.  So much of the decision based on our performance. Knowing that cross examination will play such an important role in proving the truth.  Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose.  Making sure we do everything we can to make sure justice prevails. – Adam Leitman Bailey
