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.

I set up an appointment to go over a leasing issue I've encountered - my landlord is canceling the…read morelease agreement despite I've signed the lease and paid the brokerage fee. 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.

As someone who likes to plan ahead, having an estate plan was very important. After quite a bit of…read moreresearch, I had decided that creating a living revocable trust was the best decision for me. It would be less expensive in the long run and should be easier to manage for those I leave behind. I spoke with a number of estate lawyers about creating these documents and each one of them only spoke about creating a will. When I specifically asked about including a living revocable trust, they all tried to talk me out of it. Then I attended a presentation by Laura Cowan. She clearly explained the importance of having your estate in order regardless of age, the differences between the estate documents, including a will and a living revocable trust and clearly answered everyone's individual questions. I knew that day that she was the estate attorney I had been looking for. I greatly appreciate Laura's intelligence, work ethic, and positivity. However, what I value the most is her method of sharing her knowledge and then letting her clients make the decision regarding what is best for them. Working as a Professional Organizer, I have the privilege of supporting families through the difficult time following the loss of a loved one. I have learned that this process is never easy, but can be so much more challenging if the estate was not in order. I also know that while we all plan to live long healthy lives, tragedy happens; my mother died when I was four, which was completely unexpected. Thanks to Laura, I am confident that I have a plan that will both protect and support my family. Having an estate plan is the best present you can give those you love and Laura Cowan is by far the best estate lawyer I have met!

I've had the privilege of working with attorney Stephen Holihan on two separate occasions. I'll…read moreadmit, at one point I was frustrated and even doubted his approach. But looking back, I realize it wasn't his effort that fell short, it was an extremely unfair judge. Through it all, he stayed committed to my case, stood by me when I thought about giving up, and fought hard to protect me from making mistakes that could have hurt me in court. What impressed me most is his character, when I apologized to him for how I handled things, he showed no grudges and continued to fight for me as if nothing had happened. That kind of integrity and dedication is rare. I would absolutely recommend Mr Holihan to anyone who needs an attorney that genuinely cares and stands firm for their clients, even under pressure.

After working with Jeffrey Berke, I have a renewal outlook toward New Yorkers. He is that one in a thousand. His genuineness is real. They don't make people like him anymore. He is an amazing, knowledge lawyer, and more importantly, a descent person. The judge knows his work and have the utmost respect for him. I've seen it! Most all my reviews in yelp are only negative. This review is one of few, if it's not the only positive review I've given. I want to share this honest experience because during a vulnerable period in life, when someone is trying to destroy me, a stranger i accidentally found on yelp, went above and beyond what I expected to get the necessary evidence to protect my interest. I only marveled at what just transpired, after realizing how fortuitous it was for me to find Jeffrey Berke.

One of my family elders just got green card through this law firm. Perhaps as an immigration…read moreattorney, helping clients getting a green card is just their daily work. But it is not every lawyer who can make a dead case (like my elder's) come back to life. My elder is a successful foreign businessman who has lived in the United States for 18 years. He had tried various methods for applying for a green card; but for various reasons, he failed a lot. At the worst time, he was even requested by the US government for deportation. We all thought that his case was hopeless. And many lawyers refused to take over his case. Later, around five years ago, he hired this lawyer through a friend's recommendation. To be honest, the lawyers' office is small, however all employees are experienced; we later learned that all the employees have been in the business for nearly 20 years, which is not easy. It took five years for this lawyer to slowly solve the problem of my elder's case and then continue to apply for a green card all the way. This is a very amazing counterattack; it is the good news for our entire family. My elder told me that this law firm is really willing to spend time on his case, while many other law firms can't do this. Although I don't understand the law, my common sense tells me that it is very difficult to succeed in a case that used to be considered as no hope. This law firm is not only very proficient in the law, but also has the patience and heart. I am very grateful for their dedication and help for my family.
