Staten Island Real Estate Attorney Profile

William J. Newstad, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law

Member

Since I started my law practice in 1997, my intention has been to connect with my clients to fulfill their needs. I consider myself an average person fortunate to have the opportunity to master a profession that allows me to serve. I know that most average folks don’t have regular contact with attorneys or the court system, nor do they have an in-depth understanding of the law. I take seriously my role as educator, informing my clients of all pertinent aspects of the law that may affect their personal and business objectives. Only a fully informed client can make the best decision or commit to a necessary course of action. The title of my firm, William J. Newstad, Esq., Attorney and Counselor at Law, serves to remind me of the awesome responsibility I bear in service to you, my client.

Through the years, my clients have expressed appreciation for the emphasis I place on face-to-face interaction, which has helped them understand the risks and rewards of their real estate transactions and other business dealings. After that first positive experience, many clients return for my counsel on important matters related to wills and probate and elder law cases.

Testimonials

Just recently worked with Bill Newstad and his team to close on the sale of my condo in Staten Island. Things could not have gone smoother. Bill was not only knowledgeable; he was also personable and understanding.

I have recently purchased a home and William Newstad represented me. All I have to say is... WOW!!!! The process was a breeze thanks to his knowledge, professionalism and sense of breaking down "Real Estate" vernacular for us to understand. When we first met him he explained the entire process and what we would need,

We highly recommend employing the services of William J. Newstad, Esq. We recently purchased our first home and the experience was excellent. William and his paralegal Tonianne were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and patient and provided us with top notch council.

Daniel T. October 25, 2013

What I liked best was the way Bill explained everything.  He put everything in simple terms and language that my kids came away from the meeting understanding everything.  I would tell others how friendly and professional Bill and his staff are.  I would recommend Bill's free workshops to see what it's all about.

Bill was excellent at explaining things in a manner we could understand.  He made sure all parties involved in the trust were present and understood the terms and issues.  We appreciated his understanding of the elderly and their need for dignity throughout.

Mr. Newstad and staff are very congenial and easy to talk to.  Bill listens to all your concerns and guides you accordingly.  Bill is very thorough addressing your needs.  Attend one of his seminars.  It gives much insight as to what direction to go regarding estate planning.
