In 1947, Krooth & Altman LLP's founding partners, David Krooth and Norman Altman, envisioned the firm as a means of providing the highest level of legal expertise and strategic counseling.  Krooth & Altman LLP maintains that strong tradition in a concentrated and core national practice in real estate and capital finance and in related business matters.  Its attorneys pride themselves as "lawyers' lawyers," with decades of experience in laws related to all aspects of real estate; including housing, debt and equity transactions, taxable and tax-exempt financings, mortgage and investment banking, secondary market debt transactions, project subsidies and credit enhancements, healthcare financing, tax, litigation, employment,

corporations, partnerships and alternative entity organizational structures, and debt relief and restructuring.  Its clients include a wide array of prominent national bankers, developers and investors in real estate and mortgage finance activities. By maintaining a single, strategically located office in Washington, D.C. and the original partnership structure contemplated by its founding partners, Krooth & Altman LLP has fostered and sustained a collegial and cooperative working atmosphere among its attorneys that allows the full resources of the firm and the expertise of all its attorneys to be brought to bear on any client representation.
