John clearly explained my rights to me and the school backed off. John took on my case when most other lawyers didn't see it as worth the time. For other lawyers who would take my case, these people wanted me to settle and pay this school a settlement payment and sign an NDA. John helped me avoid paying any more money to con artists and I don't have an NDA binding me to silence.

Alberto Ebanks is an amazing attorney who if not the best certainly is in the top 5 best attorneys…read morein NYS. Mr. Ebanks exceeded my expectations going above and beyond to handle my case. Modern day Johnnie Cochran. After terminating my previous attorney, I reached out to Mr. Ebanks through a referral from a friend. Within just 2 days of me retaining his services he was able to reach a resolution with the prosecutor. It hasn't even been a full 2 weeks and he managed to have my case dismissed of all charges. Anytime I had a question or concern I could call him or text him and got an immediate response. He called me frequently and kept me updated and informed on my case. My previous attorney was very lazy, overly white privileged and full of expletive. Making comments suggesting that the all accused claim to be innocent, when I was in fact innocent. I have no idea how Mr. Ebanks was able to make progress but she couldn't. All she kept saying was my case is adjourned because of COVID. Well Mr. Ebanks managed to get the job done and did far more work in 2 days than she did in the 4 months she had my case. I highly recommend Mr. Ebanks for all criminal matters. Unlike other attorneys, I swear that my review is written genuinely with all do integrity. You are welcome to contact me about my experience as well. When considering an attorney use referral from friends and family.

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.

We had an extremely negative experience at Zimmet Law. We worked with the lawyer Debra Hammerman,…read moreas well as Monique Gravely and Jacqueline Constante. We used Zimmet Law to purchase our home in Brooklyn, NY. Besides being generally hard to get in contact with the lawyers, 12 hours before our closing, the lawyers sent us a final Closing Disclosure with over $100,000 in mistakes that they did not catch. There was a mistake in our taxes that they did not catch. The title company they hired also made significant mistakes, leading to them giving us documents with huge mistakes in them 12 hours before the closing. Our lawyer, Debra Hammerman, did not come to our closing and was not present for most it, so we had to sort out all of these issues on our own. There were even more mistakes she didn't catch, and it led to an extremely stressful closing that lasted well over 8 hours. Her employee Monique was rude to me for asking more clarifying questions during the closing, saying we were "going in circles". I don't understand how someone who has made a $100,000 mistake could possibly feel justified in thinking that victim of that mistake might want more validation on other numbers they have created. Furthermore, the paralegal Jackie was looped into conversations for closing details about a week before the closing. I spent 3 days straight emailing her and calling her to try to get answers to questions about the closing, like how the money would be transferred, and she never responded. I confirmed with the front desk that she was not sick or on vacation, and our lawyer Debra Hammerman was also cc'ed on those emails and neither of them ever responded to our emails or calls. I have no idea why they waited until 9:30 PM to give us the final closing documents, when our closing was at 10 am the next day. It was a nightmare. Finally, Debra Hammerman herself provided a POA since one of our purchasers would be out of town at the closing. Despite us filling out the POA as per her instructions, it turned out she hadn't requested addresses of notarized signature witnesses which led to us desperately trying to contact our witnesses during this extremely chaotic closing to get their addresses. Why didn't she request addresses in the POA itself? Pure incompetence is my bet. Finally, the lawyer, paralegal, and all of the staff from Zimmet Law completely forgot to bring up holding money in escrow from incomplete punch list items. It fell by the wayside as we attempted to hammer out all the other mistakes the law firm has made, and it meant that no money was held in escrow as requested while we awaited final punchlist items to be addressed. This was a totally terrible experience for us and I would never recommend this law firm to anyone.

Prior to this, the landlord or the agent suggested I should hide my underaged child from the occupant list so they don't need to put up ugly window shields on their nice-looking apartment. I refused to do so and they ceased the lease. Mr. Brian Zimmet: 1) 10 min late for the call without explanation, 2) said neither the landlord nor the agent had done anything wrong, 3) I brought to him I think the agent has broken the code of ethics in several ways and the landlord's decision violates NYC tenant law by refusing to rent to a family with a child; he said he's not familiar with the code ethics (despite him being the real estate lawyer) and asked me to call the police if feel discriminated (what a nice person), 4) refused to help me with filing a complaint on the landlord or the agent, asking me to find a long island lawyer (the property is in Queens but nevertheless he should have a license covering NY state). Throughout the whole process, he is impatient and rude and ended the call in 10 min despite his assistant booked for 30 min. And the fact that he called the action of the agent/landlord "nothing wrong, nothing illegal" seems weird to me. Will not do business with them anymore.
