About Arnold M.
Arnold M. Bottalico is a New York attorney whose career has been tied to actual estate and title matters since the early 1990s. He earned his J.D. from Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University in 1991 after finishing a B.A. at Hofstra in 1987. He built his early practice in company settings earlier than shifting into in-residence work and later opening his personal office.
He began working in personal practice quickly following law school. In 1994 he used to be with Golden Wexler & Sarnese, P.C., and by 1996 he was at Shapiro & Kreisman. Those years on the firm side gave him grounding in the day-to-day needs of transactional and defensive practice in New York’s actual estate environment.
In 1997 Bottalico moved in-house, taking a senior counsel role at Fidelity National Title Insurance Company. In that ability he treated things related to title insurance and the legal issues that occur in property transactions. The in-residence knowledge exposed him to underwriting, claims and the interplay between title work and shutting mechanics.
By 2009 he used to be managing his personal practice, indexed as Managing Lawyer of Arnold M. Bottalico, Lawyer At Law. He also holds a New York State license as a real property broker, a credential that provides a realistic layer to his legal work. That combination of licensing and legal training shapes how he strategies transactions and contested things alike.
Bottalico has participated in bar and public service work. He is a member of the American Bar Association since 2014. He additionally volunteered as pro bono counsel thru the New York State Bar Association for victims of Superstorm Sandy from 2013 to 2014, assisting affected residents with legal needs tied to the disaster.
Over the years his career has moved between regulation companies, an insurance organization legal department, and his own practice. Each stage contributed different views on property law: the client-centered tempo of private companies, the operational demands of a title insurer, and the autonomy of operating a solo shop.
He keeps his practice in New York and handles foreclosure-related matters and other real estate legal work. He currently focuses his practice on foreclosure regulation.
