Tal Rappleyea is a lawyer that has worked with cases pertaining to municipal law, personal injury, general practice, and more in New York state. However, he cites real estate as one particular area of interest.

Often when individuals think of real estate, they may think of a real estate broker or agent who sells property to buyers. Before the property goes up for sale, the broker and the seller sign a contractual document known as a listing agreement, which gives the real estate broker authority to sell the property. This process is monitored and licensed through state and federal real estate laws, and enacted by lawyers, which is something Tal Rappleyea specializes in.
