Exacting counsel in real estate and business law.
A solo practice concentrated in two areas and built around a single standard: the attorney you retain is the attorney who does the work. Every contract, negotiation, and closing is handled personally by Rafael Sondon, start to finish.
Handled Personally
Your matter is never delegated to staff or passed to a junior associate. One attorney reads every page, attends every closing, and answers for the result.
Drafted to Hold Up
Agreements are written for the day they are tested, not merely the day they are signed. Precision in the document is what prevents the dispute.
Clear and Responsive
Defined scope, transparent fees set in writing before work begins, and calls and emails you do not have to chase down.
Two areas. Nothing diluted.
The practice is deliberately narrow. Concentration in real estate and business law produces sharper documents, faster answers, and fewer surprises than breadth across many fields.
Real Estate
Residential and commercial transactions from the first draft of the contract through the final adjournment of the closing table, with the diligence that keeps a deal from unraveling.
- Purchases, sales, and contract negotiation
- Title review, clearance, and survey issues
- Refinances and lender coordination
- Closings and post-closing follow through
- Commercial leases and assignments
- Deed transfers and ownership structuring
Business and Contracts
Counsel for owners and operators who need agreements that are precise, obligations that are understood, and a lawyer who answers when the question is time-sensitive.
- Entity formation and governance documents
- Operating and shareholder agreements
- Purchase and sale of businesses
- Commercial, vendor, and service contracts
- Contract review, drafting, and negotiation
- Ongoing counsel for day-to-day operations
One attorney. Your attorney.
The Law Offices of Rafael Sondon is a solo practice by design. Clients retain an attorney, not a queue. Rafael Sondon handles each matter personally, from the first conversation through the final signature, so nothing is lost in a handoff and no one is learning your file on your time.
Matters arise principally in Nassau County and throughout New York. The work itself is the standard the firm is built on: careful drafting, thorough review, candid advice about risk, and a preference for resolving the problem in the document rather than litigating it later.
- The attorney you meet is the attorney who does the work
- Scope and fees defined in writing before any work begins
- Candid assessments, including when the answer is no
- Prompt, direct communication at every stage of the matter
