Jean L. Chou

I highly recommend Jean. She responds quickly and is very efficient. She answered every question and gave excellent advice. We were able to close on our apartment at lightening speed. It is not often that you work with someone as responsive and responsible as Jean. She made it easy and stress fre...e.

Jean was a godsend. She was recommended by a good friend, another real estate lawyer who moved out of state and could not represent us. My husband and I hired her to handle both the sale of our NY house and the purchase of a NJ house. She saw us through a year's worth of delays and headaches caused b...y very difficult buyers. Despite it all, Jean was the consummate professional and she never complained and was never pushy. At various points, she presented the pros and cons of our legal options, and helped us calmly make the best choices under horrible circumstances. With poise and grace, she managed tense and challenging situations with another attorney to resolve matters in our favor. And when called for, she exercised legal pressure on our behalf but managed to never close the door on future negotiations. At our NY closing, she even received praise from the attorney and buyers for how smoothly she handled everything from the very beginning. We HIGHLY recommend Jean. She is a clear communicator and is very thorough; she made sure that all agents and lawyers involved with our NY sale and NJ purchase were aware of key issues and delivered on their promises. She was always mindful of our expectations, constraints, and deadlines. We are VERY satisfied with her representation, and are so grateful she helped us close on both our houses.

It's hard to exaggerate just how wonderful Jean is. My husband and I recently purchased our first home, and quite frankly had little idea of what we were doing, or what to expect. New York real estate is a nightmare to navigate, especially when buying into a co-op (which we did). Even during the ...most stressful times, Jean was excellent, level-headed, and hugely helpful. She was incredibly patient with our inexperience, and went above and beyond the call of duty to get us to our closing. We simply could not have done this without her. It is with great pleasure that recommend her, and look so forward to working with her again in the future.

Jean represented me on a residential real estate purchase. There was a purchase/leaseback component which added some complexity to the transaction. Jean handled the entire transaction with a very high level of competence & professionalism. She was thorough in her research and patient with her exp...lanations of legal nuances and concepts. Most importantly, she was reliable, trusthworthy, and provided legal advice in a very well-considered, thoughtful manner. I work in financial services & have interacted with many attorneys through the course of my career. Jean would rank among the best of them.
