“Extremely detailed attorney. Dibbini and associates are an excellent team of attorneys. I use them for commercial leases and a home purchase one time. They know how to get what you want with excellent negotiating tactics!” -Mohammad
“We purchased our first house last week in Westchester and was introduced to the firm by a friend. We worked with Joe and could not ask for a better experience. He walked us through the closing process and was very knowledgeable in every aspect. Additionally, he was always available to discuss even the smallest details. Overall, we were extremely satisfied and would definitely use his services for our next home!” -Samira
“As a relationship manager with a large regional bank practicing in the NY metropolitan area, I close approximately twenty loans per year, the majority of which are commercial mortgages. Banks have a list of approved attorneys that represent the bank but have no control over the borrower’s counsel. The skill level of borrower’s counsel varies widely from large firms to sole practitioners with no support staff. My experience has been that the less experience a particular attorney has with commercial mortgages the longer it will take to close a loan. This is particularly impactful when financing a purchase or in a rising interest rate environment. Time is always “of the essence.” James Dibbini and Associates (JD&A’s) has represented borrowers closing loans with my bank on several occasions and has executed their duties flawlessly. Document preparation and review, accessibility to associates and the senior partner to negotiate and resolve issues that inevitably arise, and responsiveness to request for information are handled by this firm promptly and without error or delay.
I recently had a closing where JD&A’s stepped in at the eleventh hour when the borrower’s counsel was unable to close when required due to other commitments. Associate Joseph Salameh of JD&A’s stepped in six business days prior to the required closing date and without hesitation assured the borrower and our bank’s counsel that he would be prepared to close on the date necessary.
Bank’s counsel commented how refreshing it was to work with a firm that picked up the phone when called, returned emails promptly and delivered documents expeditiously.
The closing itself was unremarkable despite Mr. Salameh’s hectic closing schedule that day.
What was and is remarkable was the borrower’s astonishment and appreciation for what the difference having experienced, professional counsel in something as mundane as a real estate closing could be.
Kudo’s to you Jim Dibbini and to the fine staff you have assembled and especially to Joe Salameh for the commitment to his client and the delivery of his advice and counsel.
I would not hesitate to recommend James Dibbini and Associates in the future.” -Jim L.
“Excellent Service. I have had the privilege of working with James G. Dibbini & Associates for over 15 Years. Not only did I receive a level of service for which exceeded my expectations but I earned a friend. An attorney is personal in nature as you will need to reach out to him/her for personal advice. With Dibbini you will receive the type of service you need that is current with our times today. He has the experience that can foster many difficult decisions for which you may encounter. I run a property management company with nearly 500 units under management. I am faced with different hurdles every year (L/T, acquisitions, dispositions, refinancing) and the service I obtain from Dibbini is simply excellent. I am also a Broker and direct all my clients to use Dibbini. No need to search any more if you found Dibbini. His references and experience speak for itself.” – Michael N.

“An excellent resource both as an individual and consultant for other legal arenas. I have known Jim and his family for about 35 years and during this time I have seen the evolution of James into the gentleman he is today. While I have not had him preform services for me , I have recommended clients to him on the full range of real estate tranactions. In one instance a client missed a real estate tax bill and James hard work allowed this client to retain ownership of the property. This property throws off over $250,000 per annum and his efforts allowed the family to maintain the cash flow. In other real estate transactions the work was timely done and the one word my clients use to describe James is Professional. I have no reservations in referring his firm.” – Jeff

In one particular case, Mr. Dibbini followed a transaction for over 5 years as multiple buyers were unable to complete the requirements for purchase. The law firm is courteous, respectful and helpful. They are like a home town business that cared about me like I was family. It is a pleasure and blessing to have been recommended to them.” -Deborah

Mr. Dibbini legal assistant keeps me informed and sends me the backup documentation of the services that were performed. Prior to this time, we never saw the five day notice. They are responsive and quick, and follow up when after filing a five day notice, we need time to negotiate with a tenant.

“A law firm of “Tigers”. My wife and I have used James G Dibbini & Associates on two seperate occaisions. We prevailed in both cases and appreciated the way they kept us informed, of our options and always treated the cases as though they were the most important they represented. Jim and his associates are “Tigers” in court and proved so in both of our litigations. Their knowledge, advice and response to our needs were never in doubt. There is no question we would heartily recommend this law firm to anyone interested in “The Best in Southern NY”. Thanks, Jim and Mike.” -Alfred
“Best experience ever with an attorney. We only talk over the phone but that was enough to have my tenant out in little more than 3 months. I didn’t have to call for updates because his office kept me always informed. I would refer to him all my friends and family or anybody who needs an attorney.” -Teresa
3-Family house transaction in Mount Vernon: “We are so thankful you for the service Dibbini & Associates provided. From the beginning we felt like we were in good hands with the quality of support we received, especially at times when it seemed to never end. The negotiation took a while because of a post-possession agreement. But once the contract was in place and the bank approval in hand, the closing went so smoothly that we were a little amazed. Thank you for all your help and assistance every step of the way. We appreciated their responsiveness and reassurance during the process. With their assistance, we were on top of everything. They were very persistent in following through on details. It will probably be some time before we buy another property, but when we do, we will certainly ask for their help again. ” – Sophia
“Best Landlord tenant in NYC area. James Dibbini is the best landlord tenant in the NYC area. Since I walked through his office I was treated like family. His staff is very professional, attentive and dedicated. I hired James and Associates for a landlord tenant issue that I had. He was able to tell me the outcome since day one just by reviewing the case. It was a matter of time. He is extremely knowledgeable and his staff too. He was also able to adjust his prices to my financial situation making him a humble and humane person. Definitely we need more people like him that instead of focusing in the money they can get from his clients just commit to help people. If you ever need a landlord -tenant , real estate etc. attorney don’t hesitate in going to him. You won’t regret it. Thank you Mr. Dibbini and your excellent staff for resolving my problem. My family and I are very grateful. ” -Alex29rod

“Trustworthy and Timely. I had the pleasure of working with James Dibbini’s firm, in particular, a brilliant young real estate attorney named McCallion Campbell. McCallion and the firm provided me excellent and timely advice on an investment property I was purchasing. As I am a California resident and unfamiliar with the process/requirements of purchasing real property in NY state, I was pleasantly surprised by the patience and guidance provided by the firm. My transaction was completed very quickly and accurately making all parties happy. I felt I had a strong advocate for my interests and the follow through from beginning to end resulted in a seamless transaction. From a cost perspective, the firm is within market parameters and I feel it was money well spent to feel I had professionals watching out for my interests in unfamiliar territory.
I will use this firm again and do hope to have the opportunity to work with McCallion again.” – John M, Newport Beach, CA

Zoning Board: “I would like to express my appreciation for Jim and his Associates for their help with our future project. My partners and I appreciate the effort, organization and follow thru showed to us throughout the process. After seeing the demands a building department can and does put upon an applicant, I can’t imagine why one would go at it alone. There were so many aspects that needed to be explored and discussed before the Town meetings that we would have not been prepared enough for, without Jim. Trust the professional!” -Mike M.

“Rest Assured. Nothing but positive things to say about my experience with this firm. They worked with me from the beginning to ensure i was well informed and at ease. Communication has always been a struggle in the past when working with ANY attorney, not here Joe and the team always called me back promptly after their court proceedings, with answers to my inquires at the ready. They listened to my areas of contention and escalated and fought for what was right when issues arose. I never felt like a cog in the machine rather I was in the drivers seat. Thanks again for all your help!” – Dave

“I highly recommend for any Landlord or Property Manager ! I’m not one to ever review anything but the Dibbini Law firm well deserves it for all of their great service to my company. I am totally satisfied and impressed with their people from the administrative side to the various attorneys who have represented us in court. I am especially impressed with the professional manner in which the Dibbini attorney’s have conducted themselves in court whether in front of the judge or in negotiating settlements with defendants. I can see for myself that the Judges also appreciate this professionalism and that can only benefit me in court. I have used this firm for almost a year and they have handled about a 20 + cases for me. On the billign side I always know what to expect and there are no surprises. One thing I especially like is that every Dibbini invoice includes a detailed summary of every court appearance or case outcome. Finally, let me say that as a Landlord you might feel that often the court “process” is somewhat stacked against you. With Dibbini, I feel much more empowered to fight the system. ” – DK – MapleWood Gardens LLC.
“Great real estate law firm. I hired Mr. Dibbini’s law firm to represent me in both the sale of my condo and the purchase of a single family home. I found my lawyer Joseph Salemeh to be friendly, professional, and very skilled. He guided me and fought for me through a lengthy process, and brought me to a very successful conclusion at two successive closings. I would highly recommend James Dibbini’s firm and would certainly consult with them should I need any real estate legal assistance in the future. ” – Steve
“Love this firm normally don’t like lawyers. Quick response after initial contact. Joe Salameh an Associate in their office handled all aspects of my complicated closing.

“Excellent Experience. I can’t say enough good things about Dibbini & Associates, most especially Joe! To work with attorneys who genuinely care about you through selling and buying simultaneously, is certainly a rarity. Joe wasn’t just attentive and kind, but he was understanding and concerned, always looking out for the best interest of me, the client. Having several stressful experiences between selling and buying, consistent, steadfast support was provided on a regular basis. Despite unexpected twists and turns, Joe, Jim and their entire team made sure my needs were always important, my questions always carefully answered and explained thoroughly. Prompt responses were always provided to all and any questions, big or small, whether my inquiries were called in or emailed. I am eternally grateful to this team, and will always refer to friends and family. Thanks, Joe for holding my hand through our crazy experiences! You provided great comfort during an agonizing transitional journey. You guys are the best!!” – Angela V.
I am writing to tell you how pleased I have been to date with the legal advice and representation provided to me by one of your attorneys, Robert Esqueda, Esq. During my initial telephone consultation with Mr. Esqueda about my legal problem,(i.e., my rights, if any, as a tenant in a rent -stabilized apartment to make minor improvements at my sole cost and expense), he asked me relevant and important questions, answered my questions in a very satisfactory and professional manner, and provided me with a well-balanced legal analysis of the issues involved. At the conclusion of the consult, he suggested that he prepare a letter to the owners/management of my building that would be sent to them following my review and approval of it…
Robert Esqueda,Esq, always provided to me with excellent legal advice and did so in a very timely manner. He also demonstrated excellent communication, writing and analytical skills in handling my matter along with enthusiasm, creativity, and genuine concern for me the client. I would highly recommend him and the James Dibbini law firm to acquaintances, friends and family who have any type of real estate and landlord/tenant problems.” – KT
“Working with McCallion and James throughout the process of selling our house was terrific. We did not use the services of a broker, and the team here was always willing to help when needed with any questions or concerns we had during the whole process. They were always prompt to return phone calls and emails, and very friendly and courteous.” -JI
“What a pleasure it was doing business with you and Joe Salameh. This being my first experience buying a home, I had no idea what to expect but Joe guided me through the intricate process, answering all of my many, many questions promptly and accurately. Even during closing, which can feel intimidating, I felt completely secure knowing that Joe was there to represent me professionally both in appearance and substance. Thank you again and I looking forward to working with you again in the future.”- SF
