From start to…read morefinish, Julianne did an excellent job walking me through the process, coordinating all the logistics with all involved parties, and answering any and all of my questions relating to condo policies, procedures, and closing protocols. The closing process was smooth and Julianne payed extra attention to all the closing documents before having me sign. She was able to answer and explain all the paperwork in simple terms, which I greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a law firm to assist with a home purchase, this is the firm and team to hire.

The flat retainer fee structure was also reasonable, competitive, and easy to work with.

If you have a landlord/dispute or rent stabilization case, don't hire this guy! I paid this guy…read morealmost $1,300 and he is the laziest shiftless lawyer I have every worked with. I booked a consultation and paid $90. He gives you a two hour window that he will call you with and not an exact time. When he finally did call, he was in his car, driving half paying attention. He has a good online presence and I already invested $90 so I decided to move forward with him a couple months after the consultation. He charges $1,200 for out of court negotiation. $4,500 if your landlord/tenant sues first and 10K to sue your landlord/tenant first Long story short. He makes excuses, has very little communication and there is almost a week between emails. I paid him $1,200 to review my documents and get back to me with the full intension of paying him the $4500 when my landlord tried to sue me because my landlord illegally deregulated my apartment from rent stabilization. I ended up hiring another lawyer, who I won't name on this review but he did what Ari could not do in 3 weeks in 1 hour. The other lawyer I spoke to kept me on hold, asked me questions and we sent documents back and forth over the line. He told me I had a good case and within a week, we were ready to file. When you send Ari a document, instead of responding immediately or asking a question. He waits a week, then asks a question and then it will take another week to hear from him and then he simply asks another question. Instead of anticipating an gathering all the things he needs up front. He plays the waiting game with you. He once told he would get back to me in a week. 9 days passed and I HAD TO REACHOUT to him. He said he had 'covid' and was behind. If he was so behind, why not be pro-active and reach out to your clients ahead of time. Seemed like a lie. I could go on with more stories and anecdotes but he doesn't know what he is doing. I paid out money to another lawyer and a consultant and they didn't need 3 weeks to tell me whether or not I had a good case.

A couple of caveats first. (1) I am tough -- you can look through my review distribution and see…read morethat I am not shy about keeping businesses accountable. (2) I rarely have an experience with a lawyer that is positive. I always get stuck with a bill that is unexpectedly high or getting shuffled between junior less experienced lawyers. That said, working with Nick has been awesome. He is thoughtful and thorough. He takes ownership for his work and follows the steps and details of the transaction closely. I was never worried that I would not be able to reach him or that he would overlook the details. He is smart and he has your back. He has now worked on 3 real estate transactions for me -- 2 in Westchester (complex 1031 exchanges), and a purchase in NYC. I will continue to use him for all my transactions in the NY area.

Pros: We got into contract, and we closed our sale, even though our purchaser was apparently…read moreunusually difficult. We closed on the day we had agreed with the Purchaser. Ronald was always polite (even when we were pushing him hard). The numbers at close seemed correct (which I understand isn't always the case with other attorneys). There was a fixed fee that did not get altered, and we were able to close remotely using Power of Attorney including from overseas which was convenient for us. We were usually able to get an email back from our attorney on the day we sent one. The firm didn't give up on us even when it was obvious we were frustrated. Cons: Although we had started out explaining that speed really mattered to us, it felt that we had to provide all the momentum to keep the deal process running. It was hard to get hold of Ronald because he was usually at a close or with a client. Days would go by without updates if we didn't push (and it seemed that sometimes information had sat in our attorney's inbox for some time before it was passed on to us). During the lead-up to contract signing we had to repeat information several times and we had to identify issues with the purchaser's rider, researching every matter ourselves since we did not feel we were receiving any legal advice from our attorneys. We also felt we had to fight for our own interests as our attorneys didn't want to change language proposed by the purchasers that put us at risk. Conclusion: if the deal/purchaser is simple, you don't need legal advice, and you are not in a particular hurry, Ronald at Mekhtiyev Law Firm could provide a pleasant and polite service with accurate numbers at close.
