New York, NY (January 28, 2026) – The law firm of Norris McLaughlin, P.A. is pleased to announce the addition of a robust team of real estate attorneys, including H. Michael Lynch, Esq. and Kimberly Yeager, Esq. formerly of Lynch and Associates located in Manhattan and Long Island, and Chavala Kobluk, Esq.
Lynch formally ran his boutique Real Estate and Finance firm providing services for high-profile banking clientele on their mortgage, lending, and finance needs. Lynch and Yeager will continue to service Long Island clients, as well as expanding their services to the Norris McLaughlin, P.A. team in New York City. Together, they expand the firm’s depth in New York and reinforce their ability to serve lenders throughout the full lifecycle of a deal.
“Michael’s arrival as a partner strengthens our Real Estate and Finance practice at a leadership level, particularly in complex commercial lending, workouts, and enforcement matters,” said David C. Roberts, Esq. Chair of the firm. “Kimberly is a strong complement to that leadership, bringing sharp transactional experience and attention to detail across sophisticated real estate financings.”
Kobluk will continue to represent landlords and tenants in litigation, including disputes involving rent-regulated, free-market, and NY Housing Authority (“NYCHA”) properties.
“Our clients rely on us for thoughtful, effective representation in matters involving cooperative and condominium boards, residents, and any matters they need counsel on,” said Dean M. Roberts, Esq. Chair of the New York Real Estate & Finance Practice Group. “Chavala’s addition strengthens our capabilities and enhances the depth of service we are able to provide them.”
