Chambers USA, an affiliate of Chambers and Partners, the world’s leading ranking service of top lawyers and law firms, has selected Walter Haverfield’s Real Estate Team to be ranked in its 2021 USA guide for Ohio. Walter Haverfield is one of 17 Ohio firms to be recognized by Chambers for its real estate group.
The positive client feedback that Chambers USA received about the Walter Haverfield Real Estate team was the driving factor to achieving the ranking. Testimonials published by Chambers on its website state that “Walter Haverfield is a quality firm that prides itself on its client service.”
Other considerations include the 2019 acquisition of the Cleveland-area real estate firm, Hurtuk & Daroff, as well as three Chambers-ranked Walter Haverfield real estate lawyers: Charles Daroff, Ed Hurtuk and Irene MacDougall.
Additional client testimonials published on the Chambers’ website state that Charles Daroff is “an outstanding advocate and provides invaluable counsel, not only on legal matters, but on business issues as well.” Ed Hurtuk comes recommended for his broad capabilities in commercial real estate and finance work, where he is described as “smart, practical and deal-oriented.” Irene MacDougall is listed as a “proficient lawyer who is able to handle the most complicated financing closings.”
Charles Daroff, Ed Hurtuk and Irene MacDougall are among five Walter Haverfield partners recognized by Chambers USA in its 2021 guide for Ohio. The other two are Ralph Cascarilla, managing partner of Walter Haverfield, and Mark Wallach, a partner of the firm’s litigation group. Cascarilla is recognized for litigation: white-collar crime and government investigations. Wallach is recognized for litigation: general commercial.
