She was able to answer and explain all the paperwork in simple terms, which I greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a law firm to assist with a home purchase, this is the firm and team to hire.

The flat retainer fee structure was also reasonable, competitive, and easy to work with.

They were fantastic through the entire process from due diligence to closing. Excellent communication and transparency from each of the team members who we interacted with.

A couple of caveats first. (1) I am tough -- you can look through my review distribution and see…read morethat I am not shy about keeping businesses accountable. (2) I rarely have an experience with a lawyer that is positive. I always get stuck with a bill that is unexpectedly high or getting shuffled between junior less experienced lawyers. That said, working with Nick has been awesome. He is thoughtful and thorough. He takes ownership for his work and follows the steps and details of the transaction closely. I was never worried that I would not be able to reach him or that he would overlook the details. He is smart and he has your back. He has now worked on 3 real estate transactions for me -- 2 in Westchester (complex 1031 exchanges), and a purchase in NYC. I will continue to use him for all my transactions in the NY area.

I signed up for Yelp just to leave a review about Su…read more Before finding Su, we were neck deep in real estate attorney hell. My partner and I had already found a place, made an offer and just needed to get into contract to start the process. Our original attorney was slow to respond and, at times, an all out flake. We decided to change our attorney because, as everyone knows, having good representation can make all the difference. SU WAS FANTASTIC. She was incredibly responsive, provided great insight and really looked out for our best interest. There was never a time that we felt out of the loop. She took time to walk us through documents or items that we didn't understand, and really put her foot down when we were leaning towards accepting things (not in our best interest) because we wanted to get the deal done. Su also kept me from having a complete meltdown on more than one occasion. She is the epitome of professionalism and is everything a real estate attorney should be. In future purchases, we will ONLY use Su.

Pros: We got into contract, and we closed our sale, even though our purchaser was apparently…read moreunusually difficult. We closed on the day we had agreed with the Purchaser. Ronald was always polite (even when we were pushing him hard). The numbers at close seemed correct (which I understand isn't always the case with other attorneys). There was a fixed fee that did not get altered, and we were able to close remotely using Power of Attorney including from overseas which was convenient for us. We were usually able to get an email back from our attorney on the day we sent one. The firm didn't give up on us even when it was obvious we were frustrated. Cons: Although we had started out explaining that speed really mattered to us, it felt that we had to provide all the momentum to keep the deal process running. It was hard to get hold of Ronald because he was usually at a close or with a client. Days would go by without updates if we didn't push (and it seemed that sometimes information had sat in our attorney's inbox for some time before it was passed on to us). During the lead-up to contract signing we had to repeat information several times and we had to identify issues with the purchaser's rider, researching every matter ourselves since we did not feel we were receiving any legal advice from our attorneys. We also felt we had to fight for our own interests as our attorneys didn't want to change language proposed by the purchasers that put us at risk. Conclusion: if the deal/purchaser is simple, you don't need legal advice, and you are not in a particular hurry, Ronald at Mekhtiyev Law Firm could provide a pleasant and polite service with accurate numbers at close.
