Real Estate Legal Solutions for Landlords & Investors
ClarksLaws was founded in 2005 by attorney Jim Clark after leaving a large corporate Wall Street law firm to focus exclusively on representing landlords and active real estate investors. With thousands of real estate investment transactions and disputes handled as an attorney, observer, and investor, we have identified patterns that lead to success and developed processes to help clients achieve their goals. In 2018, we merged with Blodnick Fazio & Associates PC to form Blodnick Fazio & Clark, where we continue to specialize in real estate law. Our firm takes a proactive, holistic approach to legal matters, aligning our incentives with clients to ensure mutual success.We provide comprehensive services including landlord-tenant litigation, real estate transactions, partnership matters, corporate counsel, and asset protection. Our expertise extends to personal affairs such as estate planning and matrimonial law for real estate professionals. By combining tried-and-true strategies with innovative structures, we help clients defend and grow their real estate portfolios safely. Our team's deep understanding of the unique legal needs of landlords and investors allows us to deliver tailored solutions that prioritize long-term success. We maintain offices in Suffolk and Nassau Counties to better serve clients across Long Island.
