Totally dissatisfied

I had hired Jessica for a closing in 2016 and I was totally dissatisfied. When called she rarely answered her phone and when she got back to me she would ask if I had new information based on information my realtor gave me. She doesn’t follow up on anything and although I wasn’t able to close, she ch...arged me a hefty fee. I actually know someone who recently used her with the same result of her unavailability when called. I would not recommend her.

Hello anonymous - since apparently it’s been 6 years since we have spoken, please give me a call at the office to discuss and I would be more than happy to give you a refund of my legal fees. I would never want someone to be so upset for so many year (516) 280-2600

Excellent Lawyer!

I recently hired Jessica to represent me as a seller in a real estate sale. She explained every document that I needed to sign and walked me through the process step by step. She is very warm, kind, and friendly. However, if issues arise Jessica is exactly the kind of lawyer you want in your corner. ...She is firm and tough exactly when she needs to be! I plan to continue working with Jessica in the future for my own estate planning.

Exceeded my expectations

I hired her for a closing and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Her level of professionalism was refreshing. I never had a problem getting in touch with her. Always returned calls right away. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. We refer her to all our friends. Than...k you Rekhi Taber!

Great lawyer

Jessica made our stressful home buying experience an easy process. Jessica made sure that contract works in our favor and also met all the timelines. I highly recommend her to my friends and family!

Don't even think of hiring her.

We hired Jessica Rekhi to represent us as buyers on a deal of a house on recommendation of the real estate agent we were working with. It was a big mistake to hire her. It was almost impossible to reach her on the phone. She never returned her phone calls on time. I could not reach her even after ca...lling 15 times. Her advice seem to always favor the sellers. It seemed that though we hired her to represent our interests she had seller's interests above ours. We always had to get a second opinion on whatever she advised. We could never trust her. Absolutely untrustworthy. Finally we had to call off the deal and get our deposit back. She decided to charge us $650 for the disservice and held the deposit check as collateral to get the $650 fees from us. Buying a home is a huge investment do not risk your lifetime investment by hiring unreliable professional like Jessica.

Sir, While I am shocked to receive these allegations from you 5 months after this transaction was cancelled, I will be more than happy to address the same and to confirm that they are absolutely false on all levels. When you first retained my services, you requested that I move around my schedule in order to immediately come into the office to sign the contract for your purchase. In fact, you were given an appointment the same exact day. Thereafter, during my due diligence review, I discovered potential issues with the Certificate of Occupancy and Permits for the premises. After filling you in on this issue, I spent weeks investigating the matter, including contacting the title company, building department, Seller’s counsel, and multiple expeditors. During this time, we communicated daily, if not multiple times a day, all of which are documented. Your calls were always returned within a day, most of the time within a few hours. Thereafter, I was able to negotiate a $20,000 credit from the Seller towards your Purchase. I worked diligently on your side the entire transaction. At the end, you and your family decided not to move forward. After which, the entire downpayment was returned in full and the title examination costs were reimbursed to you by the Seller. All through the efforts of my firm. As far as your payment for my legal services, that can hardly be called extortion when it is payment towards services that spanned more than 2 months easily add up to over 20 hours of work. I understand that you may be upset that the transaction did not result in your purchasing your home. However, that disappointment cannot be directed at your advocate. I wholeheartedly disagree with your defamatory comments and request that you reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss any further. My business is my passion and my livelihood and I take pride in protecting my clients and working diligently for their best interest.
