Midtown East

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 reached out to Laura on the suggestion of my sister, who is a law professor, and I could not be…read moremore pleased with the entire process. Laura is extremely knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain the pros and cons of all options. She answers all questions cordially and promptly via email, and in person she is warm and easy going. I would recommend Laura's practice without hesitation.

Even though Kathy Yung was my initial contact via email, I spoke with Keith over the phone to answer my questions about setting up a revokable trust for our house. He was very informative and knew exactly what we needed and his staff drew up all the documents. A few weeks later, Keith met us personally in the office to sign and finalize all the documents. It could not have been a smoother process. By giving us his personal attention to our needs, Keith gave us peace of mind and satisfaction. He was even able to meet at our convenience after their normal hours. That is dedication! Even though I found Y&Y on Yelp from reading my friends' reviews, I found out that I know Kathy through some other friends. It's a very small world! For your real estate and estate planning legal needs, I cannot recommend Yung & Yung highly enough. As such, we have already recommended them to friends and family!
