Abrasive, money-hungry and not exactly a high-end lawyer. Has terribly low standards. Avoid like the plague. I recommend investing in a more competent, higher-pedigree lawyer. These bottom-feeders are the absolute worst.

I've worked with Lior on four real estate transactions so far, and I have my fifth coming up in a few weeks. Lior is thorough, professional, and unflaggingly courteous, even when dealing with difficult situations and clients (like... ahem... myself... cough). Highly recommended.

Lior handled the sale of my parents' HDFC coop during COVID and hung in there through estate delays, complications, etc.; I was very impressed by his work, and would use him again in a minute.
