Buying or selling a home is the most significant and daunting task most of us will ever face. Whether you're buying or selling your first home - or if you've done it before - you owe it to yourself to let Pete Weinman be your personal guide. Pete takes a very hands-on approach and will always be your only point of contact throughout the entire process, whether it's a house, a condominium, or a cooperative unit you're buying or selling. He'll return your calls promptly, won't rush you off the phone, and will explain everything to you as things progress.
Pete has been an active Richmond County Bar Association member since 2002, where he chairs the Technology Committee. He has been elected every three years to sit as a Director since 2011. Pete is also a founding member of New World Preparatory Charter School, Staten Island's first charter middle school, where, since 2008, he's sat on the Board of Trustees and chairs the Legal Committee.
Working full-time for Project Hospitality (feeding and helping the homeless, the mentally ill, and those affected by HIV/AIDS) from 1988 to 1995, Pete attended the College of Staten Island (CUNY) from 1985 to 1992, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in English. Eight years later, continuing to work while attending classes at night, Pete received his JD from New York Law School in 2000. While attending New York Law School at night, Pete began working as a freelance “computer guy and law student.” He designed and automated databases, legal forms, and office documents/systems for many law firms located throughout the City of New York, some of which continue to use his automated forms to this day.

- Q. A new owner for a gas station behind me has surveyed the land and has declared that my shed and cement pad are on his
- A: Attorney Greb was mostly correct, but as a NY attorney, I'd suggest that the required time period for a claim of adverse possession is at least 10 (not 20) years. A survey is absolutely necessary, and you should not rely on theirs. You should consult with an attorney in person and not here on the Internet. If you need to find one, start your search here: https://www.justia.com/lawyers
- Q. How do I add my mother to the deed of my home? I want to buyout my ex-husband's interest in the home & need her on there
- A: Why does the bank need your mother to become an owner of your house so that she can co-sign your loan? There can be tax (costs and ramifications) and liability issues when adding someone to the title of your home, and this should not be done lightly - and certainly not at the request of someone at the bank who owes no duty to you. You need to retain an attorney to represent you in the refinance - maybe the attorney representing you in the divorce - to discuss and make sure it makes sense to add your mother to your deed. And to ensure it's done properly, assume that's what you decide.
- Q. How is this legal ?? I went to court for eviction with a legal aid the pension is agree to amend petition to include
- A: Adding to attorney Colatosti's answer, I want to suggest that your legal aid attorney is really the only person who can answer any questions about the agreement you entered into. Those legal aid attorneys are generally quite good at navigating optimum agreements for tenants and I would trust and follow their guidance.
