Our Washington County Practice
Washington County is made up of river towns, farms, and small villages, and its legal matters reflect that. Ianniello Anderson, P.C. has helped Washington County families and business owners since 1971, from rural land closings to estates and criminal defense.
Our Glens Falls office at 333 Glen Street, Suite 200 is our nearest to the county, across the Hudson River from Hudson Falls and Kingsbury, and our Saratoga Springs office serves the southern towns.
Serving Every Corner of Washington County
Our attorneys represent clients in the villages of Fort Edward, Hudson Falls, Greenwich, Cambridge, Salem, Granville, and Whitehall and the surrounding towns, including Kingsbury, Argyle, Easton, Fort Ann, and Dresden. Whether your matter is at the Municipal Center in Fort Edward, in a town court, or on a farm closing in Argyle, we have the local familiarity to get it done.
Washington County Courts
Washington County’s Supreme, County, Family, and Surrogate’s courts are at the Washington County Municipal Center, 383 Broadway, Fort Edward. The Kingsbury, Hudson Falls, Granville, Whitehall, and Greenwich courts handle DWI, traffic, and misdemeanor matters.
How We Help Washington County Clients
Most Washington County families and businesses will face one of these six matters at some point. Here is how we approach each one for clients in the county.
Real Estate Law in Washington County
Real estate is the firm’s core practice, and we close residential, rural, and recreational properties across Washington County. Washington County’s real-estate landscape is a mix of small-city housing in Hudson Falls and Fort Edward, rural agricultural transactions across Argyle, Hebron, and Easton, and recreational/waterfront property along the Lake George east shore (Dresden, Putnam, Huletts Landing). We handle title, closings, and estate transfers across all three.

Common Questions from Washington County Clients
Do you handle matters in Washington County courts, or only at your home offices?
Our attorneys appear in the Supreme, County, Family, and Surrogate’s courts at the Washington County Municipal Center in Fort Edward, and in the Kingsbury, Hudson Falls, Granville, Whitehall, and Greenwich courts. Matters that don’t need a court appearance can be handled by phone or at our Glens Falls office.
I’m buying or selling property in Washington County. Do I need a local attorney?
New York requires an attorney on both sides of a residential closing. In Washington County, closings often involve acreage, farm parcels, or rural properties with older deeds, which makes title review matter. A local firm knows the county clerk’s records in Fort Edward and the lenders who work in the county.
How quickly can I get a consultation?
Most Washington County consultations are scheduled within one business day. Our Glens Falls office at 333 Glen Street is the closest place to meet in person, and we can often work by phone or video for clients farther out. For arrests or court deadlines, call (518) 371-8888 and we will try to reach you the same day.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on what you need. Washington County closings, wills, and business formations are typically a set fee, while courtroom matters are billed by retainer or hourly rate. You will see the terms in writing before we begin.
