I reached out to this firm refered to me by a friend for my case. I first called on 09/08/2025 and…read moreI was forwarded to lawyer. We talked for 30' asking different questions about my case and she told me that she was going to email me with a questionaire to fill out and send back. I was looking my emails every day. She never got back to me. On 09/12/2025 I've called them back to ask if they had my email address written wrong. The receptionist followed the same routine as I was contacting them for the first time. She forwarded me to the same laywer and she started asking me the same exactly questions. When I told her if they are interested in my case, she replied we don't do cases like yours and we can refer you to another laywer, although they had originally told me that they were interested. She continued asking the same exactly questions we've been already through. So, I finally told her to stop wasting my time and I will find another laywer that will be interested in me and not only to the size of the case. I've found it totally unprofessional. My general experience from them was that they were not listening to what I had to say. ANd when I was talking they were only thinking of what to reply to me.

Meril Wenig is sharp, fearless, and truly committed to her clients. I came to her with a complex…read morelockout case involving a property I had just purchased, and she quickly took control of the situation, walked me through the legal risks, and represented me in Housing Court. The other party was aggressive and trying to claim tenancy without any lease or legal right -- but Meril and her team pushed back hard, navigated the court, and helped me reach a resolution that protected my property and allowed me to move forward. She genuinely understood how high the stakes were for me financially and emotionally. Her courtroom presence was strong, and her strategy gave me the upper hand. If you're a landlord or buyer caught in NYC's tenant-heavy system, you want Meril on your side. She saved me time, money, and a whole lot of stress.

MY STORY: I am an attorney (top of my AM25 law school class, editor of Law Review and worked at one…read moreof the largest corporate law firms in the world.) As a result, I was VERY discerning about who I would hire to represent me in a complicated rent stabilization case with a messy backstory. Meryl came strongly recommended from a mutual friend, who is a highly-respected and recently-retired housing court judge. From my first meeting, I was struck by how knowledgeable, direct, and confident she was; she recited intricacies in the law from when my apartment first dated decades ago that only a highly-skilled attorney would know. Her knowledge and experience put me at ease and let me know I was in incredibly capable hands. As a result, I had 100% trust in Meryl, and she delivered in spades. She achieved a result that delivered everything I had hoped for and more - far exceeding my expectations. Meryl is the kind of attorney you want in your corner; she's been through the fire. She fought hard and gave me realistic expectations every step of the way. She handled everything so smoothly, easing my concerns along the way. If you're facing a tough case in New York City housing court, Meryl Wenig is exactly who you want because she delivers results. She is a fierce, no-nonsense attorney with decades of experience in landlord-tenant law, and she's known for being both deeply knowledgeable and a zealous advocate. That is exactly who I needed. I didn't hire Meryl for hand-holding; I hired her to fight. BELOW REVIEW: Below (in reverse chronological order) is a review from someone who seemingly had a difficult case and didn't get the outcome for which they hoped. Ironically, however, what they criticize about Meryl actually reinforces what I respect most about her: * They mention that Meryl was confident in her legal knowledge. That's exactly why so many clients trust her. She knows the law inside and out, and she doesn't sugarcoat it. She gives you her expert opinion based on experience and not false hope. * They were frustrated when the case was passed to other attorneys. That's what firms do, especially with complex, multi-year cases. Meryl runs a busy practice and delegates to a team, as any seasoned litigator and law firm partner must. It's not a flaw. It's how high-performing legal teams operate. * They were upset that Meryl wasn't always personally available. I get it. But emergencies happen, and jury duty isn't optional. What matters is whether the firm continued representing the client and made a good-faith effort to advocate for them. There's no indication Meryl abandoned the case, only that life happened and the client felt frustrated. * They claim to have negotiated a better outcome on their own. Great, but that also suggests the client had some agency, which contradicts the idea they were helplessly "ruined" by the firm. Settlement outcomes are messy, and no attorney can guarantee a win, especially in NYC housing court. At the end of the day, litigation is hard. Landlord-tenant disputes are emotional and draining. So, if you want an attorney who knows how to navigate the system, who's confident under pressure, and who won't back down from a fight, you want Meryl to represent you. She's tough. She's battle-tested. And in this city, that's exactly what wins cases

Alex Z. was an amazing help. They helped me correct a false report made against me. I called with…read moreless than 12hrs for them to prepare to represent me and they far exceeded my expectations! They were professional, respectful and explained the entire process to me in great detail. Their online website is organized and easy to use/understand. I was always able to get in touch with Alex and he was more than helpful with answering any of my questions or concerns. I'm extremely appreciative of the help and representation that I received! Everything was handled professionally and expeditiously. I don't have to worry about the false report being on my record and I can rest assured that my innocence was proven! Thank you! Highly recommend this firm to anyone who's looking!!

Apparently I was "too much time spent on" not worthy, charged me a premium and had someone who didn't even get his law degree yet represent me. By the way spodek will not represent you. His unqualified "lawyers" who didn't pass the bar exam will. Shady business Absolutely disgusting behavior from front desk ms Williams. And empty promises. Honest opinion. Never met Spodek once. Representation and communication was weak and the rate for service were high. After 32 hrs of community service $5000 and a stain on my record, DEFINITIVELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR HIRE Mind you my charges were 2 misdemeanors and I had a clean record. Funny part is. I was actually the victim in it all. Not pleased. Please save your money and go to another firm. I've attached a photo of how dismissive spodek is and even talked in a way that made me fear him for not taking down the honest review. But I think people should know the kind of firm this is.

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.

This review is based off of a conversation I had with an employee from this firm. I chose not to…read morework with this firm because of the manner in which I was spoken to regarding real-estate over the phone. I was recommended this person but unfortunately I personally did not appreciate the way I was talked-over as though I was being lectured on the "step by step" process of working with a lawyer. It sounded as though there is no way I could understand what it means to hire a lawyer to help with the sale of your property. From experience I know that if you don't like the way you are being addressed and you aren't even officially working with the business it only gets worse when/if you actually hire the person so this was a hard pass for me. I would suggest not talking over or down to people as a start for improvement.

It was a tragic traffic accident of a family member that led me to the law office of Lever & Ecker. In our first meeting with David (Lever), his experience and professionalism was evident, but what was unique that convinced me that I came to the right place was the trust, care and understanding that impressed me. David took the case because he saw the difficulty our family was going through, we are not a number to him, we are people in need of help. He told me it would be a long and challenging road ahead with uncertain outcome but his office will be there. He was true to his words. Now three years later, the case is resolved with the best outcome. During the whole time, his office staff especially Raquel Noriega did an outstanding job assisting in all aspects, so responsive and efficient and most of all supportive. It is the best law office that I have used, and it was a pleasure to work with them. Recommend the service wholeheartedly.
