I truly appreciate how my lawyer, Michael Fichera made a complex and lengthy deal feel simple by explaining everything to me in plain terms. He was patient, thoughtful, and always strategized to protect my best interests. Despite the countless back-and-forths, he always found time to reply to me promptly and thoroughly. He and his paralegal, Anna Kim, were superb throughout the entire process. the whole firm are so friendly at every outreach. Their professionalism and dedication gave me confidence every step of the way. I hope this deal is one of many we'll work on together in the future. Highly recommended! THEY ARE 10's across the board! read more

I used Avenue Law Firm for a recent real estate transaction. Anna Boudakova was amazing... Explained the process to me in simple terms. Always responded to messages in minutes, and kept pushing building management (who were very slow) on my behalf. And all that for a very reasonable price. Would use them again for sure. read more

Want best outcome? Then work with the best law firm! From start to finish, the attorneys and other members of the team at Avenue Law Firm made sure that the process is as seamless and stress-less as possible. While I am not new to closings, the level of quality, client attention, responsiveness, professionalism and dedication that was exhibited by Michael and Peter were above and beyond! Surely my business and real estate law firm going forward! read more

Peter and his firm were very responsive in helping us close our first home efficiently during Oct 2021 and we were looped in throughout the process. They were among the choices for preferred attorneys from our seller and had the highest ratings on Yelp, and they did not disappoint. Peter helped explain any details that we could not understand by mentioning them in layman terms which was highly appreciated. We used Power of Attorney through his firm and had minimal issues. We were able to enjoy our vacation during the closing date. Most of our communication was through email and secure chat, it was all pretty seamless. Our phone calls were also answered promptly for clarifications. Overall highly recommend the firm for real estate services! read more

Worked mostly with Anna Boudakova, but Peter and all the team at Avenue were fantastic for me throughout my (lengthy) process of purchasing a Queens co-op. Anna's average response time to my emails was literally minutes, and she put in a lot of time that I never witnessed, advocating on my behalf with the seller's attorney and communicating with the co-op management company. I plan to use Avenue for any future real estate legal needs I may have - could not have been happier with their support from beginning to end. Thank you! read more

I worked with Zinkovetsky, he is a celery attorney, highly recommend him for deals . Natalia Wixom, Compass Real estate read more

I had a great experience with Anna (Boudakova) throughout the process of our condo closing. I wasn't expecting much in the beginning based on our previous experience with a different RE specialized law firm in Manhattan. But, Anna was perfect for us. We didn't need someone to hold our hands and explain everything, but after we went thru documents and if we had questions on any of the clauses, she made sure to set a time and answered our questions. Also, with some unique situations of our seller, we needed a bit more explanations on some terminologies other than RE related, which she covered as well. Thank you, Anna! read more

I know Peter Zinkovetsky from the firm, and I find him to be extremely helpful and most importantly honest and fair. He knows the real estate business and is very helpful in helping close deals. read more

We waited 6 months to cool down before writing this review; but even now flashbacks from dealing with Petro make us angry. We hired Petro to assist with a sale of our co-op in midtown based on his excellent reviews on Yelp. It was a big mistake. Petro is one of the most incompetent professionals we've ever met. Here are the reasons: - Petro wasn't responding to emails from the buyer side in a timely fashion. The buyer's lawyer was replying within a few hours. With Petro we were lucky if he responded the same day. At the end we felt we had to follow-up with him on every buyer's email just to make sure he replies promptly. - We asked him a few times to cc us on every email so that we are in the loop. He wasn't doing it. We had to ask our agent to forward to us every email coming from the buyer's side so that we can be in the loop and make sure he replies. - He scheduled closing without having all the documents. Then he cancelled it last minute to the surprise of all parties involved. - Lack of basic understanding of tax related paperwork requirements in real estate sales.  - His incompetence resulted in delays, which cost us an extra month of mortgage payment. - We lost complete confidence in him. A day before closing we even called the buyer's lawyer just to make sure our lawyer did everything he was supposed to in order to close successfully. - At the end we consulted with all parties in the process, agents and buyer's lawyer, the unanimous opinion of Petro was incompetence. Selling an apartment at the onset of Covid was very stressful. The closing process was changing due to lock-down and we were not even sure if the transaction would go through. But having Petro as our lawyer didn't make it any easier; he turned the entire experience into a nightmare. read more

I can't say enough of good things about Peter Zinkovetsky and his law firm. Peter's integrity, knowledge and fairness earned him his impeccable reputation in his field. Everyone who knows Peter personally and on professional level think will agree how wonderful it is to interact with him. Being in the same line of business I am always happy and confident to recommend Mr. Zinkovetsky's law firm. read more

Carla and Anna were wonderful in helping me close on my condo. Would highly recommend them to any first-time buyer as they explained everything to me in detail, answered any questions I had, and were very quick to respond. read more

We just closed on an apartment in Brooklyn and we couldn't be happier with the service from Peter and team. They were all responsive, diligent and friendly. Komal, in particular, was excellent. She patiently helped us navigate the challenges brought on by COVID-19. We have no hesitations in recommending the attorneys at Zinkovetsky Law Firm! read more

I had the best experience with Anna and the team and couldn't be more thankful to had them throughout my coop purchase. They are just very knowledgeable, and working with them was a smooth process. I highly recommend the team if you're looking for a team that will support you and counsel you throughout your apartment journey, from contract signing to closing... 5 stars. read more

Highly recommend working with Peter Zinkovetsky and his team. My clients have been extremely happy with Avenue Law Firm services as the team makes the entire transaction a smooth one. Attention to detail, professionalism, and responsiveness. That's what you get from them! read more

Only sane voice in a crazy closing - Carla González was fantastic would highly recommend many thanks!

I work in Real Estate, and Petro is not only my go to for my clients but also who I used for my personal Real Estate Transactions and who I recommended to my in-laws. We spent the last couple of years weeding through our attorney recommendation list and Petro and his firm rose to top. He has built an amazing team with Brooke and Khamal. Also worth noting, not only does he practice real estate law but he teaches continuing education classes to realtors and has a true mastery of the subject. He's truly a class act and I simply CANNOT recommend Mr. Zinkovetsky and his firm enough! read more

Peter helped me close on a condo. This was my first time doing anything real estate related and I was pretty nervous throughout the whole process. But Peter and his team were great. During the initial consultation call Peter explained all of the steps required before closing. Both he and Alexia were patient in answering all of my questions. They responded to emails and calls almost immediately and worked to close quickly. There was some miscommunication with the bank but Alexia acted quickly and I cannot thank them enough for making the entire process as painless as possible. read more

Highly professional and competent attorney and staff. Extremely responsive, always available to answer all our questions and concerns. I am very pleased with this firm and will absolutely be using them again in the future! read more

Peter and his team were responsive, helpful and got everything done quickly and efficiently. They answered all of my questions with patience and explained the whole process along the way. I'm a lawyer but know nothing about real estate purchases (especially in NYC), so I had a lot of questions. My purchase was a short sale, so it was a little more complicated and involved, but Avenue Law Firm knew what was needed every step of the way and I didn't have any of the stress, uncertainty or complications that everyone warned me about! I would highly recommend Peter and his team. read more

Peter and his team are the best closing and real estate attorneys I have dealt with in my 20+ career in real estate. They recently helped me with a complex closing of my Chelsea apt with many delays and would respond to me during nights and weekends. I couldn't have asked for better service or dedication. Thank you! read more

I can't recommend this law firm enough! We have been working with peter and his firm on multiple real estate projects ranging from residential to commercial. Peter and his firm has been helpful and knowledgeable through the entire process. His assistant Brooke was always there to answer any extra questions. Initially we were new in the entire process of buying a new home and buying commercial real estate but peter walked us through every single aspect of the purchase and closing process. He is extremely attentive to detail and knows his stuff inside and out! read more

Really great experience working with Alexia on my condo close! Alexia is very responsive, professional, and clearly explains the process / any unforeseen complications. I feel very fortunate to have her help me on my first purchase. read more

I believe it was Petro (not sure though) who called me back within a minute or two of submitting the contact form on their website. We discussed my commercial real estate lease, we set up a call time for the next day to review it and then I sent it via email. The next day I got a call from the super pleasant and ultra helpful Komal Bhargava who walked me through my lease, answered my questions and then followed up the next day. She was so helpful and really cared that all my bases were covered. In the move-fast-get it done-today online world I work in, this company was heaven sent. I know it sounds extra, but it's true. Trust me I give reviews based on the company and they aren't always glowing (check and see!) I would highly recommend the company and Ms. Bhargava in particular. read more

We had a great experience with Peter and his firm for our first home purchase. He and his team navigated us through the challenges of purchasing in NYC during COVID-19/lockdown with ease. Peter is very knowledgeable in his work. He was very responsive to all of our questions. He coordinated the purchase CEMA with other bank attorneys which helped closing at record times. He also recommended our realtor which we were very happy with. Thank you Peter! Highly recommended. read more

I used Avenue Law Firm for purchasing my first home, and despite of some complications I had with the Sponsor, Peter and his team, especially Anna and Carla were with me on every step of the way. They were very responsive and were able to get me the best conditions possible. Peter Zinkovetsky was referred to me by my friend who he helped successfully to do his first home closing as well. And I will definitely recommend them too to anyone who needs assistance of reliable and knowledgeable professionals. read more

I recommend Avenue Lawfirm (formerly Zinkovetsky law) for your real estate transactions. They helped me close on my house last month, and looking back, I can say that they did a pretty good job. Carla, Peter, and really everyone is professional and responsive. A highlight for me was that I could do everything remotely: from signing documents to communicating with them with no hiccups. Their prices are very reasonable, and their office is conveniently located close to Grand Central (for people that work in the City). read more

We got help from the team at Avenue Law firm for our first condo purchase. They were extremely helpful, answered all our questions promptly, advocated earlier closing date, negotiated contract details, all very seamlessly. Our purchase was in a new building and they helped us navigate all the details of that very nicely too. Members of their team are warm, friendly, and dependable. read more

I used Zinkovetsky Law Firm for the purchase of my condo in Manhattan - this was my first purchase, where I did not have prior experience. Petro was recommended by my real estate agent, where besides that, I really didn't know what to expect. Fortunately, Petro and his team were professional, responsive, and patient throughout the purchase process - they were agile to accommodate a last minute issue that allowed the sale to go through. I will definitely use them again for NYC real estate transactions. read more

We recently closed on a purchase of a condo in Manhattan and used Peter as our lawyer for the transaction. Given that this was our first purchase in Manhattan, we were a little nervous about the process. Peter was great in guiding us through the purchase and was very responsive when we had questions. He went through the contract with us in a lot of detail and explained all of the nuances associated with purchasing a NYC condo. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention that his associate Alexia also provided us with amazing support. She was also extremely helpful and responsive and is a great lawyer in her own right. You cannot go wrong with this team. read more

Needless to say I was a little nervous buying my first apartment in NYC. My Fiance found Petro thru some mutual connections of hers on Facebook and I am very grateful she did! He was super attentive to detail and made this difficult nerve racking experience run very smooth. Even when the sellers attorney and bank made numerous mistakes Petro remained professional and helped to ensure our best interests were always first and foremost. I would recommend him and his team to anyone and hope to continue to work with him in future endeavors. read more

We loved working with Petro, he was the only person who stayed calm and professional around all the mess that was going on with our home buying transaction. Whenever new problems occurred we felt that we can count on him to provide us with his prompt and knowledgeable advice. We couldn't be more happy with his service, Petro was holding our hands throughout the whole process and put us at ease that everything will work out and it did. His assistant Nataliya is very patient and very responsive and helpful as well. We highly recommend both of them and without hesitation will work with them again in future. read more

Peter and staff helped in the smooth closing of my real estate transaction. A team of professionals from start to finish.

I am buying my first piece of real estate and worked with Petro to complete contract for the deal. When I think about what I want in a RE Lawyer Petro was just that. 1. Quick to respond to questions and quick to complete tasks 2. Explained things to me like I was a 5th grader (Yay! This is a biggie for me) 3. Open, Honest, Trustworthy and fair I definitely recommend and will be using him for all my RE legal needs. read more

I've used Zinkovetsky Law Firm when I needed a real estate Attorney. Petro handled me case to a perfection. Throughout the entire process he was very organized, fast to respond to my calls and Emails and took time to explain every little detail. Thank you Petro for professional job done! Recommended! read more

We just sold our place, and used Peter based on our brokers recommendation. Was a wonderful experience, and well priced. Peter is extremely responsive, knows his stuff, is happy to do a lot of things off-line/digitally (was important to us), and gave a lot of good and practical advice (eg how to push our bank on paperwork, how to deal with certain buyer requests). He made us comfortable around edge cases we were worried about (and was right about how it worked out). Ultimately the deal went through very smoothly. Will use him again when it's time to buy :) read more

I have just completed my first home purchases in the midst of a pandemic /lock down in NYC, and I had the best experience because of Ms. Komal Bhargava. She is super responsive and attentive! Anytime i have a question, she will always provide a detail answers and follow up to ensure I understand. During this difficult time when everyone has to adjust to a new normal, Komal got all parties together to do a remote closing without violating social distancing. There were numerous challenges, including lender being unresponsive, but Komal always kept her professionalism and tried to do what's best for me. I highly recommend her services!!! read more

Highly recommend Avenue Law firm !!! Peter and his team were responsive at all times of the day and were instrumental in pushing our deal over the finish line. Peter is my go to attorney for all real estate transactions !!! read more

I was looking for an attorney on yelp and my expectation was not just that, my attorney will simply review the seller's contract and ask me to sign it and that's it ... the maximum job is done! Being a first time home buyer I had expected my attorney will explain everything which are part of the closing process. More importantly he/she will work on my requirements CORDIALLY and HONESTLY. But as per my experience what I have seen is, in New York City many of the lawyers have that intention to finish their jobs so quickly without even spending proper times with their client which are unexpected. But later, I have found Petro Zinkovetsky and based on my experience with him I have given this rating. Here are the few points which I have highlighted below; - He is very knowledgeable, polite and professional. - He has willingly explained everything about the purchase/closing process. - He had always responded to my queries even in the weekend. - I have asked many questions which might have beyond his scope but he had tried to clarify them as well which were very helpful. - He truly focuses on customer's needs not just on his fee. - I think the most significant point which makes him unique is "even though he had already spent time answering my questions but he had never pushed or influenced me to move forward with the seller's contract. Rather he had shown the pros and cons which had helped me to make a wise decision.His full intention was to protect me first from all unseen or unexpected issues." *** Yes, of course I highly recommend him. If you believe in quality then he is your first choice. Thanks read more

Hands down the best experience we could have asked for when buying our first home. The entire team at Zinkovetsky Law Firm was fantastic but Komal was REALLY exceptional. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions. The entire team worked tirelessly to enable us to close by our requested deadline, all the while keeping their patience and understanding even when we lost ours. I would highly recommend their services and will definitely be referring Zinkovetsky Law Firm to friends and family / using them again in the future. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of being represented by Komal Bhargava with our condo purchase and all I can say is that it was an unparalleled experience. Her fastidious responsiveness to all our questions and concerns, along with her professionalism, knowledge and genuine care are what make her an exceptional counsel. She values her clients and this kind of demeanor is rare nowadays. I was pregnant during our time together. One could only imagine how much hormonal imbalance an 8 month pregnant woman was going through- it was a topsy-turvy period. Komal, as well the sweetheart Brooke, both tolerated all my constant crazy phone calls. I was always treated with politeness and courtesy, regardless of my vexatious phone calls. My husband and I consider Komal the crème de la crème of lawyers. If you want a seamless experience, with someone who is always meticulous and one step ahead, hire this lovely lady boss. Zinkovetsky law firm is the way to go! read more
