We are a young couple opening our first business in NYC. We found Kaiko Chan through an online forum so that was all we had to work off of. Thankfully Kaiko and his assistants are very very helpful, thorough, and responsive to our questions. We had worked with a different attorney from Manhattan before replacing him with Kaiko and thank goodness Kaiko is experienced so we didn't have to keep riding the merry-go-round searching for a new attorney. He reviewed the lease for us and explained what's to our benefit and what's not, and he encouraged us to renegotiate a lease so the Good Guy Guaranty is more in our favor. He answered our questions. He helped us through a very stressful and exciting time and we couldn't sign the lease without him. We are very happy to continue using him as our business attorney from now on. Best part, he doesn't charge you like Manhattan snakes! Thank you Kaiko Chan!

As a first time home buyer, I was referred to this firm. I was nerves at first but after speaking to his staff, I felt so much better. a lot of things was complicated but they made it very simple for me to understand. They were friendly and nice and patient with me. I m glad to have fired them as my attorney. A++

I used four different lawyers throughout my lifetime for real estate transaction and no one is as competent and easy going as Mr. Chan. The other lawyers I used charged me for travel, courier, fax, and etc. Mr. Chan was not another lawyering shark billing me for nonsense. One complaint is that I was on hold for over a minute at one time.

I used this lawyer a few months back and I find him and his staff excellent. I m a first time home buyer and they walked me through the entire process and kept me informed with all details. I m very grateful with their service and especially with Terry's(assistant) help. A bit pushy but because of it, I was able to get things done correctly. I do need someone on my back to get things done. I highly recommend them.

My friend recommended me to this lawyer on selling my home. And thank god I took the recommendation. The lawyer is very well knowledged and so are his staffs. Even though the lawyer himself was never around, his secretary was always there to assist. They made life easier for me since my real estate agent was no help at all.
Real estate agents are the ones that are not trustworthy, not responsive, not responsible and kept lieing to me.
But with their help, I was able to get through the whole process.
I highly recommend their services.

Kaiko was our lawyer for the purchase of our coop. We found him to be professional, patient and clear. He also was quiet personable.
The one major complaint is that he seemed to farm out a lot of the details to his secretary/paralegal Terrie. Most of our conversations and email correspondences were with her. This would not have been a major problem if she were less abrasive. We found her to be at times helpful, at times extremely vague and unclear, and at times needlessly impatient, rude and curt.
So while I would easily recommend the services of Kaiko for routine coop purchases, the fact that working with Kaiko means working with Terrie gives me pause.

The firm is great. They are always there to help me when I had questions. As I had many since I m a first time home buyer. They helped me through out the whole transaction. Even after I closed, with questions, they were always there to help.
@ David: Teri was a great secretary. Sorry to hear you had bad experience. She was extremely nice to me and was always available when I needed help. She was patient and prompt with me through out the whole transaction.
They gave me exceptional service.!

I am a first time home buyer and was referred to him by a friend who used him. Made my life so much easier especially when my own realtor was of no help.

Kaiko Chan provided services beyond his duties. Showed up to meetings on time! Great rates too!
Only complaint we have is the receptionist/assistant Terry - she was extremely rude, very unprofessional, talked to us (and others) in a condescending way. I wouldn't recommend this office because i dread what others may have to go through if they too have to deal with her.
