A small New York firm that works the way you do.
Two attorneys, two distinct practices, and one standard: you work directly with the lawyer handling your matter, and you know the fee before work begins.
No layers. No surprises.
Every email, draft, and call comes from your attorney. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Built by someone who has been on your side of the table
Alain D. Alisca founded the firm after six years negotiating technology, construction, and commercial agreements for a national nonprofit federation and a national construction and permitting consultancy, after starting his career in real estate transactions. He is also a software engineer, and he works regularly with athletes and sports businesses, so he understands how the products and deals behind your contracts actually work.
Natalie Raphael joins as Of Counsel, bringing real estate, trusts and estates, contracts and entity formation, and tax experience, along with her years as an Assistant District Attorney in Sullivan County. Both of the firm's attorneys are U.S. Navy veterans.
The firm stays small on purpose. That is what lets every client work directly with an attorney, get answers in plain English, and know the cost before the work begins.
