"It's great to be recognized by Super Lawyers," said Joshua Stein.

Stein's commercial real estate practice is multi-faceted. It includes financing, development, acquisitions, hotel-related and leasing transactions for a client base that ranges from large real estate investors to individuals opening their first store. He also regularly serves as an expert witness, a court-appointed receiver and an American Arbitration Association neutral.

Active in the legal community, Stein is a frequent speaker, author of five books and editor-in-chief of the New York State Bar Association's two-volume treatise Commercial Leasing (2^nd Edition, 2010). He has published more than 200 articles on commercial real estate law and practice.
