    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.

    I'm writing this review because I truly don't want anyone else to go through what I went through…read more Hiring an attorney during a family court crisis is not something people do casually. You're already overwhelmed, scared, and trying to protect your child. You hire counsel because you believe someone is going to fight for you, guide you, and help bring stability to a situation that is already painful. That is not what I experienced with Ms. Krasner and her firm. The opposing party in my case was represented, so I expected strong advocacy and a clear strategy. Ms. Krasner appeared for only one or two court appearances and, in my experience, did nothing meaningful to move my case forward or protect my interests. I was left feeling unheard, unsupported, and completely alone in a process I was paying thousands of dollars for. The billing was shocking. In a matter of months, I was charged more than previous attorneys charged me over the course of years. On top of the legal fees, I was billed for everything--stamps, travel, tolls, and constant add-ons. The amount they charged felt disgusting and exploitative, especially considering how little actual progress or advocacy I received in return. What hurt even more was the lack of professionalism and care in the paperwork. I specifically raised concerns about attorneys reusing templates and charging clients as if documents are being created from scratch. I was assured that wasn't how they operate. Yet I received a contract with someone else's name on it--clearly copied and pasted. I also sent drafts of filings I had already started, and they were returned to me with errors and other people's names still included. When you're dealing with court filings, those "small mistakes" are not small. They can cost you time, money, and credibility in front of a judge. If you're paying thousands of dollars, you should receive accuracy, strategy, urgency, and real advocacy--not recycled paperwork, careless errors, and excessive billing for basic administrative items. This experience left me feeling financially exploited during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. I pray for this attorney and her family, and I genuinely hope she reflects on the harm that these practices cause to people who are already in crisis and just trying to protect their children. Based on my experience, I do not recommend Ms. Krasner or her firm.

    As a new prospective client I had an appointment with Austen Nalaboff, one of the partners. I…read morereceived multiple emails confirming my phone appointment. He never called and no one from the firm called to say that he was delayed, needed to reschedule , etc... I called twice and the receptionist said that she could not get to him or anyone else in his office to find out what was going on. Clearly I needed to speak to a lawyer for an important reason. This was unprofessional and blatantly rude. If I. old give less than one star I would.
