Fisher Stone, P.C.

Focus and practice areas

Three fields carry most of the work at this Brooklyn firm: business law, real estate, and estate planning. Fisher Stone, P.C. handles all three for a mix of entrepreneurs, homebuyers, and families. On the business side, the firm forms LLCs, PLLCs, corporations, and sole proprietorships. It also takes on trademarks, contracts, employment contracts, business licenses, and the purchase and sale of businesses.

The real estate work covers residential and commercial closings. For estate planning, the firm drafts wills and trusts and assists with probate, administration, and Medicaid planning. These areas connect more than they might first appear. A business owner often needs a lease, a will, and a set of contracts at different points, and one firm can carry all of that. Most of that work happens close to home, in New York City and the market around it.

How the team is built

Lowrance Fisher and Gregory Stone founded the firm in 2014. Both graduated from Florida Coastal Law School, then divided the work along their own strengths. Fisher practices real estate law in New York and owns real estate himself, so the real estate side has a partner who has sat on the client's side of a closing. He also started several small businesses earlier in his career, which lines up with the client base the firm now advises.

Stone runs the business law side. He has worked as a business professional, an entrepreneur, and a publisher, and he founded a journal called SSB Magazine. That background gives the business side a partner who has built companies as well as advised them. The two partners cover the firm's main subjects between them.

The named team also includes Jessica Yakubov, who holds a Juris Doctorate. Two paralegals, Belkis Gonzalez and Cecilia Polanco, appear on the staff the site names. In my opinion, listing paralegals by name is a small sign of how the firm values the support work behind each file. Support staff usually handle intake, document preparation, and filing deadlines, which keeps an attorney's time on the legal calls.

Where the firm keeps offices

Fisher Stone works from four locations in New York City, in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The Brooklyn office is the flagship. With sites in four of the five boroughs, the firm reports work for clients across all five. Each borough office lets the firm meet clients and appear for local filings without a long trip across the city.

Four offices in one city points to a firm built around local, in-person legal work. Closings, filings, and document signings often go faster when a lawyer is close by and can meet in person. As a reviewer, I read that footprint as a match for the everyday, borough-level nature of the matters the firm names.

What the business work involves

Business formation usually starts with a choice of entity. An LLC, a PLLC, a corporation, and a sole proprietorship each carry different tax and liability rules, and the formation documents go to the state. The right entity depends on how many owners are involved and how the business plans to handle profits and risk. Fisher Stone handles those filings along with the contracts, employment agreements, and licenses a new company tends to need in its first year.

After the entity exists, owners usually adopt an operating agreement or bylaws and register for the tax identifiers the business will use. Trademark work runs through the United States Patent and Trademark Office. An application there faces examination and can draw an objection before it registers, so the wording of the goods and services description matters early. A registered mark then needs monitoring and renewal to stay in force.

Buying or selling a business brings a different set of documents: a purchase agreement, due diligence on the books, and a closing. A well-run sale also settles who takes on existing leases, staff, and outstanding debts before money changes hands. The firm covers these business sale matters alongside its formation and contract work.

Real estate and estate planning in practice

A residential closing moves through title review, mortgage paperwork, and the transfer of the deed. Commercial closings add leases, zoning questions, and larger contracts, which makes them a distinct kind of work from residential deals. Both kinds of closing end with recording the transfer in the public land records. Fisher Stone works on both sides of that line.

Estate planning is where the firm's Medicaid work sits. Wills and trusts set out how assets pass, while probate and administration deal with an estate after a death. Probate opens with filing the will in the surrogate's court, which then confirms the executor before assets move. Medicaid planning looks at how a person's assets line up with the program's eligibility rules, and it often starts years before any care is needed. These are the estate matters the firm lists on its site.

What the public record shows

The firm has operated under the name Fisher Stone, P.C. since 2014, which gives it more than a decade of continuous work under the same two founders. The site does not list the year any attorney was admitted to practice. It does point to profiles on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube, so a prospective client has several public channels to check before a first call. Anyone checking can use those accounts to see that the firm is active and how recently it has posted.
