I was looking for attorney to represent me in the sale of my cooperative apartment in Forest Hills. My broker introduced me to Phil Azachi. He performed a professional service from drafting the contract to preparing me for closing to appearing at the closing. I would recommend him for your cooperative closings.

I was looking for a real estate attorney to represent me in the purchase of a coop in Forest Hills. My broker introduced me to Phillip Azachi and I am so glad she did. He did an excellent job. Not only was he diligent, he was always prompt, always carried himself professionally, yet with a friendly & congenial demeanor. He reviewed and negotiated the contract, reviewed the records regarding the building, and made the closing process very smooth. All in all, I was more than satisfied. It was a privilege working with a true professional such as him; one I would highly recommend for your real estate transactions

We were searching for an Estate attorney in Queens and found DeCandido & Azachi. After interviewing them we felt sure they would work diligently on our behalf. We had an excellent experience with the firm. Phil got us appointed as administrators of our mother?s estate very quickly, helped us recover financial accounts, and sell our childhood home, walking us through the process all along the way. He was attentive, responsive, professional, and informative. This was especially important as we live in two states other than New York, and often needed to conference online. We highly recommend his firm for your Surrogate?s Court and probate needs.

I retained DeCandido & Azachi to assist me in the administration of my mother?s estate. I was very concerned about the process because of some infighting amongst the beneficiaries. Phil got me appointed as administrator and avoid a fight. He helped me collect my mother?s assets, prepare an accounting for the beneficiaries, and distribute the proceeds. It was a pleasure working with him. He was kind, knowledgeable and strategic. I highly recommend his firm for any probate or administration

I retained DeCandido & Azachi to represent me in a long-standing dispute over a bequest of real property in my father?s will. I was getting frustrated with this case and needed to find new counsel to help bring it to a conclusion. Bill and Phil were the right guys for the job. When the case seemed like it had no end, they helped facilitate a settlement, sell my father?s house, and provide an account to me and brothers of the funds collected. They are kind, patient and knowledgeable. They fought for me, and they will fight for you. If you have an estate matter, give Bill and Phil a call!

I had been looking for an apartment in Manhattan for quite some time. It was difficult to find an real estate attorney who was responsive and attentive. I was referred to Phil Azachi by a close friend. Phil provided excellent services. He reviewed the contract of sale promptly, negotiated the most relevant terms, and helped me close this transaction within thirty days. It was a relief to get this real estate transaction done. It wouldn?t have been possible without Phil?s legal services.

A colleague first recommended that I contact Phil and Bill, and it was one of the best business decisions I've ever made for my company. I have been working with their firm since 2019, initially retained as general counsel regarding some flood-related insurance claims and contractor disputes. However shortly after this the world was introduced to COVID, and Phil and Bill quickly became my closest advisors in navigating the pandemic. I can honestly say that my company would not have survived the pandemic were it not for their counsel, strategic acumen and personal support. Our scope of work involved everything from landlord-tenant negotiations to comprehensive settlements involving multiple parties. Running a business can be equal parts rewarding and challenging. In the challenging times, it's critical to have a trusted legal advisor. I would highly recommend Phil and Bill in this regard.

Bill represented me in a legal matter many years ago and I had such a wonderful experience working with him that I decided to reach out to his firm about the preparation of a will. I had an opportunity to work with Bill?s business partner, Phil Azachi. He was very informative about potential issues with my estate plan and the probate process, and advised me on the best strategies to effectuate my plan with limited headaches for my loved ones. After we agreed on a strategy, Phil prepared the documents expeditiously. I would highly recommend Bill and Phil for legal services especially estate planning.

After a lot of researching online, I found the firm of DeCandido & Azachi and I could not have been more than satisfied with their estate services. Phil helped me probate my father?s estate in the Queens County Surrogate?s Court, which he has a deep knowledge of this area of law and works efficiently to finalize affairs. During a very difficult period for me, he guided me through every step of the process with compassion, answered all of my varied number of inquiries and has an excellent ability to listen, communicate and explain such a complex topic for me. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and helping his clients through a difficult process. I highly recommend them and will be retaining their services for any future matters.

My uncle was searching for an estate planning lawyer near his home. I came across Mr. Azachi?s website and I am happy that I contacted him. It was a wonderful experience working with Phil. He was respectful, patient, and professional. He not only elaborated on the estate planning process but also explained the probate process which can be daunting. I strongly urge you to give DeCandido & Azachi a call to schedule an appointment for an estate plan.

They went above and beyond to help to remove a distributee from the estate's property, settle a dispute with an unscrupulous investor, sell the property and distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries. I would highly recommend them for any estate matter!

Phil represented me in a sale of a cooperative unit in Forest Hills as part of a probate proceeding. I never realized how difficult it was to sell a cooperative unit. Phil made it easy despite this pandemic. He prepared the contract quickly, coordinated all aspects of the closing, and explained important documents that I need to sign for the closing. This deal could not have happened without his hard work. Give him a call for your real estate and probate needs

Upon first meeting Phil for the purpose of Estate Planning, I was immediately impressed by his positive energy, compassionate spirit, legal expertise, and enthusiasm for the Law. We have recently worked together to create a Revocable Trust. This process is complex, labor intensive and demands patience, expertise and experience. Despite the many challenges posed by the Covid 19 Pandemic, because of Phil?s creative thinking we have been able to successfully complete this project. And finally, Phil is understanding, non-judgmental and meticulous in explaining complex legal issues on a level that the average person can understand.

I retained Phil Azachi to represent me in a lost will proceeding in Queens Surrogate?s Court. Phil did an excellent job and obtained the best possible outcome. He was organized, prepared and professional. I felt comfortable giving trial testimony because of his preparation beforehand. He explained the purpose of the proceeding and asked me questions about the facts. Phil also showed an ability to think on his feet. During the hearing, the Judge would ask questions and Phil provided answers. I definitely recommend him for your probate or administration matter.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
