Ben Clifton joined Midtown Property Law in July of 2021 where his practice is concentrated in residential real estate law, with an emphasis on Relocation matters.
Managing Partner and Founder, Jason Isley, knew from his early days as a legal intern that his landing place in the legal industry would be in real estate. He dabbled in a few other practice areas, including criminal law, that were as far from real estate law as possible, but it all confirmed his future in the real estate arena. When thinking about the future, he realized almost immediately that betting on himself and a hand-picked team of professionals was the right decision for his vision. So, he started to put the bricks in place to build such a firm.
