I recently utilized the legal services provided by Jean Chou and Nyasha Hines of JLC & Associates to manage the closing associated with the sale of my Manhattan apartment. Jean and Nyasha were great listeners, showed expertise and professionalism in their guidance, responded to every request in unde r 24 hours, handled every issue that arose, and executed all relevant actions in a timely manner. An A+ performance!

It's a real pleasure to write this review of Jean Chou and her team. We've now worked with them on 3 real estate transactions - and they have been terrific to work with. They are all highly skilled, responsive, efficient and know how to get things done. I'm delighted to give Jean and her team the highest recommendation possible.

Jean Chou and her entire team at JLC & Associates were professional in each and every respect to assisting us and guiding us through a recent closing on the purchase of a cooperative in NYC. All members of the firm were always responsive to our many requests and questions. Their ability to provide crisp and concise explanations with advice was always noted and appreciated.

I had the opportunity to consult with Jean Chou, and I was very impressed by her professionalism and expertise. She carries herself with confidence and communicates with clarity, which immediately instills trust. What stood out most was her ability to provide actionable insights tailored to my situat ion, always with a focus on saving time and money. Jean genuinely cares about her clients’ best interests, and her guidance reflects both deep legal knowledge and a practical approach. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer who is not only skilled but also truly invested in achieving efficient and effective outcomes.

One star says it all.. never did anything he was originally hired for, poor to zero communication, nevwr responded to an email of my questions regarding my settlement which I provided for him and he charged me for reading it.. used 2/3s of my retainer. Should have fired him sooner

Brian Zimmet and his team are REALLY GOOD at what they do. They handled my sensitive case with genuine care, professionalism, speed and transparency. Right from my first conversation with Brian I could tell he had very in-depth and up-to date knowledge of the law, and amazingly was also able to expla in the details of my situation to me clearly in a way that I understood, which made my stressful situation a lot less stressful. Brian and his team are they personable, knowledgeable and approachable. Honestly I don't know what I would have done without them! I definitely recommend Zimmet Law Group.

It is understandable that deals fall through. New York City is a difficult place to do business but you expect your legal representation to be provide you a service that you can trust protects you. From the start there were multiple warning signs. it took 4 revisions for our contracts to be corre ct. Simple mistakes like the incorrect attorney on the contracts had to be pointed out over and over. The process proceeded with lethargy. The apartment in question had a troubled past and therefore needed a lot of attention to detail. A major lawsuit on the building filed days before the contracts were signed went unread. We had to get a copy from a family friend and read ourselves coupled with having to reread the contracts over spending countless hours trying to get them correct. Even after the contracts were signed, we felt that our deposit was not protected and eventually the deal fell through under some murky surrounds. Thankfully we managed to get our earnest back. I personally hope to never encounter Zimmet Law Group again. Countless opportunity, financial and time has been wasted. I'm now restarting from scratch.

Mr. Zimmet helped me with the case, which other lawyers had refused to take. Mr. Zimmet was very diligent, frank and persistent. I highly recommend this lawyer.

I have used Steven Riker as my personal attorney for more than twenty years and have found him to be of the highest caliber. A trusted and respected counselor, Mr. Riker is a paragon for what a lawyer should be – professional, client-conscious, results-driven and reliable. His expertise is only eclip sed by his attention to detail and client service. I highly recommend his services.
