Knowledgeable and thorough
I have used Jay Meyers’s services twice now. The first time was 30 years ago and again just recently. Jay is really down to earth and doesn’t come off as a big shot lawyer. He is straightforward and concise. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a truly competent lawyer!

Brillant & Expeditious
Jay Meyers and his team, namely Erica & Igor, simply are incredible! We needed assistance with renegotiating the terms of one of our loans and they far exceeded our expectations. Not only is Jay personable, he truly is a great listener and fully astute with law and all its nuances. From the moment we started the laborious process, they were organized, clear, intuitive and punctual with our case. We couldn't have chosen a better lawyer and very much grateful for the successful outcome of our case. You will definitely be in great hands. We unequivocally recommend you use Jay and his highly capable team. Thank you for representing us and producing the successful outcome!

Experienced, Reliable, Caring Lawyer
Jay Meyers represented my wife and I in the purchase of a floor through Condo in Miami and in the sale of our NYC apartment building. Both went seamlessly . He also represented my brother who was facing foreclosure and has kept his family in their home since 2006 without a single mortgage payment. As a regulatory attorney his firm has strong governmental ties which helped my business interact effectively with the Banking Department and HUD. He is a top notch professional and with every penny.

One of the best Lawyers i have ever worked with.
Mr. Meyers help me in my time of real financial issues.The advise he gave me has gotten me through some very hard times. Anytime i called or emailed him he was back to me in 24 hrs or less,and the part that was so hard to believe , after haveing a bad experience with the lawyer before Mr. Meyers, he would never ask me for any money. I did pay him before for what he did for me but he always ans wed any question i had for him.I started to feel guilty about it. Besides a good lawyer a very understanding man and truly wants to help.

Tremendous help settling my debts
Jay has been a tremendous help settling my SBA loan. He was always punctual with his responses and showed a genuine care during the the whole process. His honesty and straight to the point way of handling the mater at hand made my decisions very easy.

Truly Professional
Jay is truly a professional. Always responded to every phone call, emails and at times text messages. Was always upfront and truthful concerning my case. If there was a roadblock he explained what were the necessary steps to correct them and move on. Never did I feel I was alone. I recommend him 100% to anyone who is in need of an attorney. Thanks Jay!!! SB

Unprofessional
I hired Jay Meyers to handle a case for me. He gave me assurances this was an easy case for him to handle and in the worst case scenario I still had another option, I did not need to worry. At the first court appearance he did not appear, his supposed partner did not appear but an attorney he got from another attorney who knew nothing about this case which led to a default and allowed the plaintiff to immediately request to schedule a sale date to foreclose. I immediately ask Jay to return my retainer but he refused. He assured me this outcome could be a good thing and they he/they could file a better motion, I need not worry. It wasn’t until a week later that I finally spoke to another attorney that he just hired to handle the case. Over a month went by before a motion was finally filed and during that time a sale date was scheduled. This was my worst fear. The motion was denied by the judge. The other option of which I asked him about initially what the cost would be, he said he wasn’t worried because we would work it out. Yet now he requires a payment of over $20,000 before he would file or do anything else to protect me. He misrepresented me, was unprofessional and has put me in the worst position imaginable.

Response from Jay Meyers May 18, 2018
Once again Maria, I feel that this is inaccurate and misplaced anger. I do not feel this the appropriate forum to do a point by point rebuttal. Wishing you all the best.
