Executor of estate unfamiliar with process, preoccupied with personal matters and not savvy enough…read moreinterview other law firms hired Klein & Klein to handle probate of simple uncontested Will at high end hourly rate of $450. Office made numerous glaring errors, did not initially perform all tasks described in letter of engagement then charged estate for all work and communications relating to correcting errors and belatedly performing agreed upon tasks. Dishonest? Unethical? Maybe not by NY Bar standards but certainly a law firm to stay away from.

From 4 stars to 2 - an EVICTION "process"…read more We had okay dealings with this firm some four years ago buying two properties. The cases advanced well and there were few problems with communications. Services we got dealing with troubling tenant mostly last year were on the contrary were often sub-standard. What was supposed to be some 2-3 months process was a mess of over 7 months(!) too much of it linked to lack of proper follow through and procedures by this firm. Some things to consider (as with any law firm): RETAINERS: You may want to try to resolve issues with a lawyer that does less packaging and more acting as advocate to solve your problems more quickly and lightly. Be sure a retainer serves your purposes and benefit. COMMUNICATION (plus DELAYS): We were not communicated in detail about the case nor was first notice served to tenant for well over a month..(!) Communicating with civil servants can't always be easy but a highly paid attorney must be on top of it. The law firm must be proactive to shorten the case where possible. PROFESSIONALISM: Most real estate lawyers probably know the standard procedures pretty well, but an eviction is tricky and mistakes can make it even longer, costlier and more nerve wrecking. A good lawyer accepts responsibility for your case and its timely and expert execution. DOCUMENTS: Your lawyer must provide you and other parties with proper kind (and quantity) of documents. Almost a year into this we are still waiting for one to start debt collecting efforts. Alas, in this torturous "process" we lost most of our regular income, nearly $10,000 in lawyer's fees and peace of mind - at the worst possible time with severe illness in family. MY ADVISE: Know exactly what you need (try to solve issues without a lawyer - negotiate with you tenant directly and openly, and if unsuccessful learn how to SERVE notice of missed rent in NY before bringing any lawyer to the scene - really try to get to an agreement with tenant yourself). If needed choose your lawyer vary carefully and still remain on top of your case at all times. And good luck.
