Knuckles, Komosinski & Manfro LLP

What Knuckles, Komosinski & Manfro LLP does

Knuckles, Komosinski & Manfro LLP, operating as Knuckles and Manfro, LLP, is a New York-based limited liability partnership founded in 2001 that provides specialized real estate legal services to mortgage servicers, banks, lending institutions, and private investors in the New York and New Jersey corridor. The firm concentrates its practice on the full lifecycle of real estate default servicing and creditors' rights matters, including residential and commercial foreclosure proceedings, REO management, loss mitigation, loan modifications, servicer compliance, business finance and commercial litigation, consumer finance litigation, lender liability defense, appellate practice, title disputes, and creditors' rights enforcement. The client base is concentrated entirely in the financial services vertical and includes Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, US Bank, Deutsche Bank National Trust, Emigrant Bank, Ocwen Loan Servicing, Aurora Loan Services, Flagstar Bank, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, American Home Mortgage Servicing, and Arch Bay Holdings.

The firm operates through two physical offices — the headquarters at 120 White Plains Road, Suite 215, Tarrytown, NY, and a New Jersey regional office at 225 Brae Blvd, Suite 101, Park Ridge, NJ — staffed by 14 attorneys comprising 5 partners, 2 managing associates, 1 of counsel, and 6 associates with over 100 combined years of experience. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct outreach, professional referrals, and active memberships in the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), New York Mortgage Bankers Association (NYMBA), American Legal and Financial Network (ALFN), New York State Bar Association (NYSBA), and Westchester County Bar Association. Marketing channels include a FindLaw-hosted professional website (kkmllp.com), FindLaw lawyer directory listing, and dedicated inbound contact channels segmented by function (loss mitigation, reinstatement/payoff) and jurisdiction (NY and NJ).

The business model is professional services revenue: billable hours for legal representation, with pricing that is quote-based, individually negotiated, and not publicly disclosed, consistent with standard law firm practice. The firm does not use proprietary technology platforms, does not disclose any AI or automation tooling, has no API or productized software offering, and operates as a traditional legal services practice rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investors — it is an independent partner-owned LLP.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Robertson, Anschutz, Schneid, Crane & Partners, PLLC: National default services and creditors' rights law firm with multi-state footprint. A larger, broader incumbent vs. KKM's two-state operation; competes for the same institutional servicer panel slots but with materially greater geographic reach.
• Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A. Large national full-service law firm with a financial services litigation and creditors' rights practice serving mortgage and consumer finance clients. Competes with KKM for institutional servicer work but as part of a much broader, multi-discipline portfolio.

Direct peers

• McCarthy & Akhtar, LLP: NJ-based foreclosure and creditors' rights firm serving mortgage servicers and lenders with default servicing, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and eviction work. Directly overlaps with KKM's institutional-client focus and NY/NJ default corridor.
• The Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, P.A. Large-volume Florida-headquartered default servicing and foreclosure firm with national reach serving mortgage servicers and investors. Comparable operating model (high-volume, servicer-focused default practice) but operates primarily in jurisdictions with non-judicial foreclosure, differing from NY/NJ's judicial process.
• Stern & Eisenberg, PC: New Jersey-headquartered law firm that shares KKM's narrow, institutional-default focus: residential and commercial foreclosure, bankruptcy, eviction, REO, and title default services for mortgage servicers and investors. Closest comparable in service mix, geography, and client base.
• Frenkel, Lambert, Weiss, Weisman & Gordon, LLP: Northeast regional law firm specializing in creditors' rights, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and commercial litigation on behalf of banks, servicers, and lenders. Directly comparable to KKM in client type (mortgage servicers and financial institutions), service lines, and NY/NJ footprint.
• Friedman Vartolo LLP: New York-based law firm with a sizable default servicing, foreclosure, and creditors' rights practice for mortgage servicers and lenders. Comparable to KKM in service mix and NY/NJ jurisdiction, though operating at larger scale.
• The Law Offices of Benjamin C. Glassman, LLC: Mid-Atlantic default services firm engaged in foreclosure, bankruptcy, and related creditors' rights work for institutional mortgage clients. Comparable practice mix and target client (mortgage servicers and lenders) to KKM, primarily in regional jurisdictions.
• Shapiro & Associates Law Offices: Florida-based default law firm with national practice in foreclosure, bankruptcy, eviction, and title for institutional mortgage clients. Functionally equivalent operating model to KKM but different geography.

Regional players

• Padgett Law Group: Texas-based mortgage default and creditors' rights firm serving institutional servicers and lenders. Operates the same high-volume foreclosure/default servicing model as KKM but with a regional (Southeast/Texas) geographic center rather than the NY/NJ corridor.
