My boyfriend and I closed on our NYC co-op last week and if it wasn't for Michael Simon, I would…read morehave been driven mad. Buying a co-op in New York takes a long time (between 3-6 months) and requires far too many people and a lot of coordination. Michael's involvement in our transaction unequivocally made for a smoother process. Michael's prices were higher than other real estate attorneys that I compared him with; however, his responsiveness and willingness to wrangle those with poor communication made it worth the extra cash. Above all, his response times were impeccable: I was regularly able to reach him with a single phone call and he nearly always responded to missed calls and emails within the hour. It was easy to schedule with him and we dealt with Michael directly 90% of the time, though his assistant Lillian is also great to work with. Out of the cast of 8 involved in our transaction, Michael was without question our most valuable player -- as well as the most humorous. My boyfriend and I highly recommend Michael Simon and would happily work with him in the future.

I was referred to attorney Dan Brecher at Scarinci Hollenbeck through the New York City Bar Legal…read moreReferral Service, which advertised a $35 consultation. Unfortunately, my experience was very negative. During the consultation, Mr. Brecher reviewed a simple three-page agreement that I had provided in advance at his request. I reasonably understood that this review was included in the advertised $35 consultation. However, after I signed an engagement letter, I was later billed an additional full hour at his regular rate ($750) for reviewing the same document again--work that I did not request and that was not necessary for the limited task for which I retained him, namely assistance with drafting a Repayment Agreement. I only became aware of this charge when I received the final invoice after the matter had concluded. While the consultation fee was clearly advertised as $35, it was not disclosed that reviewing the same document immediately afterward would be billed separately at a full hourly rate. This experience reflects a broader lack of transparency regarding fees during the representation. Despite requesting periodic billing statements multiple times, I did not receive any until the end of the matter. As a result, I had no meaningful opportunity to monitor, question, or address charges as they were incurred. Several charges also appeared duplicative or unrelated to substantive legal work. For example, I was billed for a brief phone call that the attorney initiated after the matter had already concluded. The call did not involve legal advice or substantive work, and I initially understood it to be a routine courtesy or check-in until I later saw it listed on the invoice. The billed time also appeared to be nearly double the actual duration of the call. Based on my experience, I would not choose to retain this attorney again. I share this to help others make an informed decision.

Watch out for how reasonable she is and how easy it is (or really lack thereof) to work with her. Unfortunately I had a negative experience at the end.

I have filed a complaint with the NY Bar as well. If you have the same negative experience, I would suggest you do the same and utilize the rights you have.

I hired Mr. Roberts to handle a charge that stemmed from being in an abuse relationship with…read moresomeone I also worked for who did something illegal (and since I worked for him at the time, I got screwed). I live outside of New Jersey. I talked to several lawyers before Mr. Roberts, all who told me that I would have to fly and travel to New Jersey to respond to the arrest warrant, get booked, and enter my not guilty plea. I was actually hung up on by another lawyer (Jonathan F. Marshall) when I told him I had talked other lawyers, which I assume is a normal thing people do when they are looking for representation. After telling Mr. Roberts the facts of my case, he said there was a chance that I wouldn't have to fly to New Jersey to enter my plea and he would be willing to try to get the prosecutor to agree to me appearing virtually and also to drop the arrest warrant. I hired him immediately, seeing that he was at least willing to TRY, even if the chances were small. He was able to get the arrest warrant lifted and I was able to enter my plea via Zoom. Mr. Roberts was communicative, understanding, firm, and knowledgeable during my entire experience with him. He walked me through the steps of each process, understanding that I tend to get major anxiety when I'm in a situation that's completely foreign to me (which legal situations are). He was thorough in his work and I believe he went further for me than anyone else would have that I spoke to. I did end up having to go to New Jersey to apply for Pre Trial Intervention, which means I had to get booked into system. This was an extremely scary thing for me, but Mr. Roberts arranged for me to get booked at the courthouse instead of the police station and set everything up for me in advance, including letting the officer at the courthouse who was going to process me aware that I was coming and I think he probably told him I was very nervous based on what the officer told me when I arrived. A long review just to say that if anyone needs a criminal defense lawyer in New Jersey, I recommend Mr. Roberts and his law firm wholeheartedly. He made a daunting process less scary and I ended up getting accepted into a Pre Trial Intervention program that will eventually get the charges dropped and I'll have the option of getting it expunged from my record.
