Balsam, Schmid & Huber LLP

We were first introduced to Dayton, Voorhees & Balsam during the closing of our house. Alex Balsam was representing the seller but we were so impressed with how he and the firm managed the process that we decided to use them when we looked into lowering our taxes. We worked primarily with Jordan Daniel who consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions and resolve our issues. In addition to their responsiveness and professionalism, the benefit of working with the firm is the access to their deep knowledge of local real estate and governance. We trusted their advice and truly felt they helped us achieve the best possible outcome. It feels great to know that we have local representation we can trust in for any future use.

My husband and I were first-time home buyers in East Hampton. We worked with Alex Balsam and Jordan Daniels from start to finish on all legal matters. We could not have been more pleased. They are extremely knowledgeable on the Hamptons real estate market and its specific requirements. They kept us informed throughout the closing process and were available for questions/advisory at all times. They are extremely pleasant. Jordan helped us on many other matters as well - beach permits, recommendations on tradespeople in the area, etc. We continue to work with him now - we trust him to handle our affairs when we can't be at the house. It felt like we were working with friends. They have strong relationships with folks in the area and we would work with them again on anything related to our home. We recommend Alex, Jordan, and their firm without hesitation.

Alex Balsam and his team helped me to close on a home in East Hampton. They were super professional, efficient and timely and made each step quick and easy. Not to mention, there was a lot to learn as a first time country home buyer from the city-- quirks about homes and the area and the entire staff held my hand in the process with patience and grace. I'm grateful they made the process so seamless and enjoyable! Highly recommend.

Elizabeth (Liz) Schmid is the best real estate lawyer I have ever dealt with in my whole life. We had to assist an elderly relative with a complicated home sale in the Hamptons. We live out of state and were working with a power of attorney. We had a timing issue and a bunch of requirements were getting in the way to expedite. Liz went above and beyond the call of duty to make this happen. First, she was nimble and pivoted as needed to meet new deadlines all the time. She also did a fantastic job negotiating sticking points that were a major concern. Additionally, there were countless items not typically handled by a lawyer requiring someone to sort things out and be onsite and Liz made it happen. She also helped us even with finding last minute a contractor to haul items left behind prior to closing. There are tons and tons of other examples like this where any other lawyer would have just not jumped in to help. I have sold and purchased properties in the last 30 years in various states and never have I experienced such top strategy, competence, dedication, problem solving skills and simply put, care, as we experienced with Liz. We are forever grateful to her. Thank you Liz!

We were first time homebuyers in East Hampton and had a great experience with Liz Schmid and Jordan Daniel. They were extremely helpful during the process and were very commercial in their dealings with the seller and their attorney. They were responsive as well as questions arose during the process. Highly recommend based on our recent experience.

The folks at Dayton, Voorhees, & Balsam (specifically, we worked with Alex Balsam and Jordan Daniel) were simply the best. I felt like I was working with close friends or family throughout the daunting process of buying our dream home in Montauk. 10 years in the making and after saving every dime, I knew it wouldn't be easy to get to closing, but their sage advice and easy-going demeanor really proved to be perfect recipe for what became a smooth and relaxing process. Alex even gave us a ride "home" after closing when we needed one in a pinch! And Jordan's assistance with everything from permit applications to advice on the best propane service was above and beyond. I would highly recommend this firm and it's people!!

I've worked with senior partners at major law firms for the past 40 years. Worked with DVB for the sale of my parent's home and they were super to work with. Very responsive and easy to access, knowledgeable of the law and local considerations, good problem solvers and enjoyable to work with. Alex Balsam and his associate Jordan Daniel were terrific. I will be working with them again soon. Would recommend them very highly.
