We hired Zerline for a condo sale in Manhattan. Unfortunately, there were several issues with the representation. To say attention to detail is lacking would be putting it kindly. There were several times where we had lengthy conversations with her about asks from the buyer on which there was zero follow-through. In the end, my wife did the redlines to the contract herself, which is not what you want when you hire a lawyer. But it beat constantly repeating ourselves and watching things fall through the cracks. For instance, we had a storage unit which was not included in the sale, but she never amended the contract to reflect that.
The fact that she doesn't have working email at zlglaw.com and corresponds from a gmail address should have been a massive red flag about attention to detail. Giving her power-of-attorney for the sale was a massive mistake as she completely disregarded very clear instructions.
Zerline is an absolutely lovely person, but I would never use her for another real estate deal. For the price she charges you can use one of the larger firms in Manhattan and not deal with the shortcomings of a sole proprietor.

A good friend referred me to Zerline and I was so happy we connected. Zerline was great to work with. Answered every question and concern I had. Zerline is incredibly helpful, knowledgable, and was very easy to talk to. I highly highly recommend her services should you need someone to assist you with housing issues. NY is very difficult to navigate (especially when it comes to housing) and it's important to have representation who can walk you through the craziness of it all especially when dealing with awful management companies. Thank you Zerline.

Lawyer asked me to come in from PA after phone consult explaining scope of work involving a NY condo. I got there after a 2 hour commute and was told that no, she couldn't help Obviously my case didn't fit the standard rubber stamping workflows that are lucrative and low effort for this office. It was too much of a bother for the attorney but she couldn't be bothered to have thought about it before wasting my time

Was referred to Robert Wanker through a friend to assist me in litigation regarding a partition matter. He spent a great deal of time on my case and didn’t charge me up front for his services. Very bright and was able to help me when other attorneys failed to do so. I would use him again. He’s not out to just make money, enjoys helping others.

Mr. Wanker represented me in a divorce settlement and was able to finalize the matter in less then a year. I’m so grateful to have been referred to such a professional and knowledgeable attorney that has years of experience. I was impressed with his extensive areas of expertise. Whatever you need he will find a way to get it done. He’s patient and fair and knows how to make a deal. I would highly recommend Robert Wanker.

Robert was referred to me by the Brooklyn Bar Association when I needed a lawyer to handle my divorce. I was very satisfied with the way he negotiated for me, particularly when it came to my children. I have continued to consult with Robert after the divorce as well. He has been my attorney for 8 years. He drafted my will, sold my house, handled my mother's estate, and wrote a prenuptial agreement for my daughter. I find him to be straightforward, honest, friendly, understanding, and professional.

I recently hired had the misfortune of hiring Shapsi Burekovich for my legal needs, and it was a disastrous experience from start to finish. From the outset he displayed an appalling lack of professionalism and competence. Commnunications were sporatic and unhelpful, with my calls and emails often going unanswered for days on end.

Mr. Weiner and his team were definitely a godsend. I lost everything due to a gambling addiction back in 2015. I owed just about every casino in Vegas and on the east coast with threats of lawsuits and arrest. I sought counsel from many firms and they all told me things I didn’t want to hear. When everything felt hopeless my wife found Mr. Weiner’s firm online. He and Mr. Musso helped negotiate my debts, stay in my house and give me a second chance. I have been able to rebuild my life, save my marriage, start another successful business and remain free of gambling for 7yrs now. They charged a very reasonable, fair amount and were always available; even if it was to say “thing’s will be okay”. They truly saved my life. I can’t express my gratitude to their work highly enough.

I didn't get a single bill for months after Bruce was engaged for a bankruptcy auction and was shocked when he suggested that he'd used up the retainer (or even half).
"I am not going to go line by line with you, just take this as not agreeing with anything you say. There is no reason for further discussion."
So completely unwilling to return any of the retainer nor to speak directly in support of the unsupportable bill. He mailed in the work and stonewalled any discussion (via email).. and has not returned calls.

It’s stressful enough working through my pain but to find lawyer after lawyer uninterested in my case is extremely disappointing. As many I have reached out to before, this was no different. Michael & his team are curt, not interested when contacted. Maybe it’s me but with the injury I’m dealing with I have enough on my plate. I don’t want to be begging someone to return my calls…enough of a headache. Don’t recommend. I will continue to look elsewhere.

I would give 0 star if there is an option. Trying to close on a home for 8 months. Took more than 6 months for him to file the certificate of occupancy. 2 weeks after the bank is ready to close, he still can't get documents ready. If you don't want to become homeless or lose all your money, stay away from him.

Mr. Heller handled a few of my real estate deals. He charges up front but doesn't provide the level of service one would expect. If you expect your lawyer to fight for you, Mr. Heller is not the lawyer you need. If the case is straight forward he'll get it done but any extra work necessary and your deal will die because he just doesn't fight for the client.

While getting in touch with him was rather difficult - he resolved my real estate transaction better than my initial expectations. His negotiating skills and the manner in which he structured the transaction has saved me well over $20,000.
If you could put up with having to call a few times before getting back a response and having an attorney who really knows his stuff then Mr. Valdes is the attorney for you.

I retained this attorney for a family matter a 2 months ago at the recommendation of a friend. Although he seems a bit intimating at first, when it came down to business he was no-nonse. I was very satified with the outcome (although is was not what I wanted) but he represented and fought for me the best he could. I would highly recommend.
