Rabanipour Law, PLLC

I hired this firm on the recommendation of a realtor for a real estate purchase that should have closed quickly. Cash purchase, property was already empty, title clear, prior owner had owned the building for many decades, buyer and seller ready to close asap. But it turned out the attorney used a title company in his building that initially refused to insure their work (which is the entire purpose of hiring a title company), and tried to strong-arm the building into insuring THEIR title search. The attorney did not reveal this. I ultimately found out from the seller's team. This nonsense by my attorney delayed the closing by nearly two months. Then the attorneystarted calling asking me whether I planned to move a grand piano into the property. (A question I have never been asked in any real estate deal. And that was wholly irrelevant to the purchase and the closing.) This nonsense (which I have never encountered with any other real estate attorney) caused solely by the attorney I hired resulted in a nearly two month delay in the closing. This cost me two months' interest on the funds that were waiting to be wired for the purchase, plus two months of delays in renovation (my contractors were standing by, ready to start, the entire time), and two months of loss of rental income. In short, I hired Ariel Rabanipour in good faith, and his actions caused me to lose a significant amount of money. NEVER USE THIS FIRM.
