Cheryl was kind enough to remain in my budget while still treating my case with utmost importance, a luxury most legal representatives do not provide. Not only did Cheryl take the time to explain every step of the process in great detail, she treated me as a person. Most representatives will simply look at a case as another stack of papers which can be disheartening, especially when you are going through a troublesome legal ordeal. I am very lucky to have met Cheryl and I would certainly return to her in the future.

It was a pleasure working with Judy Mock and her team (Isabella and Ekjot) over the past 6 months…read morefor estate planning. I first met Judy 6 years ago when I purchased my first house. She was my real estate attorney and reviewed all of the documents for the successful purchase of my house. Recently, I thought it would be wise to begin estate planning for my entire family (my parents, my sister, and me). Judy had a special package that included a simple Last Will & Testament, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, and a Power of Attorney. After meeting with Judy and reviewing our situation, she advised that we also create trusts in order to protect our assets. If we didn't create trusts, the probate process to transfer assets through the courts would cost much more than if we created these trusts. Judy walked my family through the entire process and answered all of our questions. She had diagrams to explain the process of estate inheritance and the importance of having all of our documents in place (Last Will & Testament, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, a Power of Attorney, and trusts). It took us several months to gather all of the necessary documents and review the estate documents. Once that was done, Judy and her team prepared the documents for execution and notary. Everything was completed in one hour in our last meeting. My family and I truly appreciate the time and guidance that Judy had provided us with in the complex world of estate planning. We hope to work with her again in the future for any additional estate matters.

I found Judy through the MetLife legal plan for a home purchase. She told me since MetLife pays…read morethem at a discount, my ability to retain her depends on my coverage and her availability the week I have an accepted offer. After she gave me an earful, she told me to email her my eligibility ID and rudely hung up on me. Upon checking my coverage, she told me to look for another attorney under the plan. She did say if she did accept my case, she would treat me as well as she treat her privately paid clients. If you plan to use her through the MetLife Legal plan, I would have a back up just in case she's busy.

This review is based off of a conversation I had with an employee from this firm. I chose not to…read morework with this firm because of the manner in which I was spoken to regarding real-estate over the phone. I was recommended this person but unfortunately I personally did not appreciate the way I was talked-over as though I was being lectured on the "step by step" process of working with a lawyer. It sounded as though there is no way I could understand what it means to hire a lawyer to help with the sale of your property. From experience I know that if you don't like the way you are being addressed and you aren't even officially working with the business it only gets worse when/if you actually hire the person so this was a hard pass for me. I would suggest not talking over or down to people as a start for improvement.

Meril Wenig is sharp, fearless, and truly committed to her clients. I came to her with a complex…read morelockout case involving a property I had just purchased, and she quickly took control of the situation, walked me through the legal risks, and represented me in Housing Court. The other party was aggressive and trying to claim tenancy without any lease or legal right -- but Meril and her team pushed back hard, navigated the court, and helped me reach a resolution that protected my property and allowed me to move forward. She genuinely understood how high the stakes were for me financially and emotionally. Her courtroom presence was strong, and her strategy gave me the upper hand. If you're a landlord or buyer caught in NYC's tenant-heavy system, you want Meril on your side. She saved me time, money, and a whole lot of stress.

MY STORY: I am an attorney (top of my AM25 law school class, editor of Law Review and worked at one…read moreof the largest corporate law firms in the world.) As a result, I was VERY discerning about who I would hire to represent me in a complicated rent stabilization case with a messy backstory. Meryl came strongly recommended from a mutual friend, who is a highly-respected and recently-retired housing court judge. From my first meeting, I was struck by how knowledgeable, direct, and confident she was; she recited intricacies in the law from when my apartment first dated decades ago that only a highly-skilled attorney would know. Her knowledge and experience put me at ease and let me know I was in incredibly capable hands. As a result, I had 100% trust in Meryl, and she delivered in spades. She achieved a result that delivered everything I had hoped for and more - far exceeding my expectations. Meryl is the kind of attorney you want in your corner; she's been through the fire. She fought hard and gave me realistic expectations every step of the way. She handled everything so smoothly, easing my concerns along the way. If you're facing a tough case in New York City housing court, Meryl Wenig is exactly who you want because she delivers results. She is a fierce, no-nonsense attorney with decades of experience in landlord-tenant law, and she's known for being both deeply knowledgeable and a zealous advocate. That is exactly who I needed. I didn't hire Meryl for hand-holding; I hired her to fight. BELOW REVIEW: Below (in reverse chronological order) is a review from someone who seemingly had a difficult case and didn't get the outcome for which they hoped. Ironically, however, what they criticize about Meryl actually reinforces what I respect most about her: * They mention that Meryl was confident in her legal knowledge. That's exactly why so many clients trust her. She knows the law inside and out, and she doesn't sugarcoat it. She gives you her expert opinion based on experience and not false hope. * They were frustrated when the case was passed to other attorneys. That's what firms do, especially with complex, multi-year cases. Meryl runs a busy practice and delegates to a team, as any seasoned litigator and law firm partner must. It's not a flaw. It's how high-performing legal teams operate. * They were upset that Meryl wasn't always personally available. I get it. But emergencies happen, and jury duty isn't optional. What matters is whether the firm continued representing the client and made a good-faith effort to advocate for them. There's no indication Meryl abandoned the case, only that life happened and the client felt frustrated. * They claim to have negotiated a better outcome on their own. Great, but that also suggests the client had some agency, which contradicts the idea they were helplessly "ruined" by the firm. Settlement outcomes are messy, and no attorney can guarantee a win, especially in NYC housing court. At the end of the day, litigation is hard. Landlord-tenant disputes are emotional and draining. So, if you want an attorney who knows how to navigate the system, who's confident under pressure, and who won't back down from a fight, you want Meryl to represent you. She's tough. She's battle-tested. And in this city, that's exactly what wins cases

My friend introduced me to Charysmel as he closed a few properties with her before and got very professional services.
