If there were 10 Stars to give Steiglitz & Welch that's just what they deserve. We've finally been introduced to a Law Firm that's incredibly sensible, to the point and doesn't waste your time with jibberish!!!!

Steve helped us close on a house last week. The entire process was very smooth. Steve is a great lawyer, very easy to work with. He was always available to answer my questions via emails or phone calls. He even worked late on a Friday night to help us get under the contract promptly.

My experience with Stieglitz & Welch was excellent!!. Patrick Welch always answered every question I had, he explained everything to me in a way that I can understand it and if I had any questions, I can always call and ask, and he was always there to help me. I would highly recommend Stieglitz in a Welch if you need someone to represent you.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Why do I need a personal injury lawyer?

    Insurance companies protect their interests first. A lawyer investigates fault, preserves evidence, values your claim, and negotiates firmly so you can focus on recovery. We also manage deadlines and paperwork to avoid costly mistakes.

  • What should I do after an accident in Westchester?

    Get medical care, report the incident, preserve photos and witness info, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before you get advice. Call a Westchester personal injury lawyer early to protect your rights.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a home closing in NY?

    Yes—New York residential transactions typically involve attorneys. We review contracts, clear title issues, coordinate with lenders and agents, and ensure you understand every document you sign.

  • How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for a closing?

    We offer transparent flat fees for most residential closings. You’ll receive a written estimate up front and updates if anything changes, so there are no surprises.

  • How do consultations work?

    Start with a free consultation by phone or video. We’ll discuss your goals, review options, and recommend next steps tailored to your situation.
