Nikon and Steven were great in helping my husband and I with our closing. Very knowledgeable. Young and tech savvy (as opposed to some other lawyers we’ve worked with who sent us hand written edits to our contracts…) Very prompt at replying. Highly recommend.

Georgia

As a real estate client, this firm helped us draft up legal documents in no time at all. They got back to us quickly and made it a seamless operation, especially as we were facing time constraints. I highly recommend and will work with this law office again. Thanks, Nikon and Team. You couldn't have chosen a better partner than Steven Simicich! Good luck Guys! I'll def. be back soon.

J Park

Professional and friendly. Nikon is passionate about what he does and is very communicative with his clients. Would like to work with him again.

Christopher Wick

Nikon was very professional and thorough throughout the whole buying process. Would recommend to anyone looking for a smooth home buying process. đź‘Ť

Heather Trnka

Nikon is a great attorney to have on your side. He is quick to reply and is knowledgeable about the law. Nikon works hard on detailed documents that may slip the uneducated eye. My husband and I are very pleased with his work and we are happy home owners now because of his dedication to his work. We highly recommend him!

Gabriel Ruiz

Nikon is great he helped me sell my home and even gave me rice crispy treats made my his wife that were amazingly delicious

David Allen

The best of the best. High integrity and a firm that cares and guides me through every step of the process. Can't say enough great things. Thank you.

Joan Casey

Nikon and Tatiana were great to work with. We used them for a recent co-op purchase and they were by far the smoothest part of the process: professional, competent, timely, and reasonably priced. I would recommend them and would certainly use them again in the future. Thanks!

Nafiza Akter

Nikon is extremely meticulous, timely, and thoughtful; he took his time to really understand our needs, gave us honest and helpful information, and made sure we were well informed throughout the entire process. I was also, quite frankly, astonished by how pleasant he was to work with. It is reassuring to know that such a good (both at his job and as a person) attorney is in the neighborhood should we need his services again!

Amanda Dallara

Though this review is quite long, it honestly is only a small token of my and my husband's appreciation towards the work Nikon Limberis put into securing our new home. Nikon worked as our buyer's attorney for a cooperative apartment we sought to purchase in Queens, NY. This was our first buying experience and from the moment we met him, Nikon was professional, informative and even charismatic despite the closing process being rather boring. We felt comfortable discussing everything with him. As my husband dealt with all the formalities, I observed that Nikon was always a phone call away, a great communicator, and stayed on top of both our co-op board and mortgage lender. Moreover, he worked diligently to fulfill my husband's request that our closing take place before we left for our honeymoon. Even when our mortgage lender literally CANCELLED our closing an hour before it was supposed to take place, Nikon immediately stepped in, worked to resolve [someone else's] mistakes, and demanded we stay on schedule. He made sure that we always moved forward. And only because of him, did we succeed and close on our new place two days before we left! I seriously doubt any other lawyer in NYC would have persisted as much as Nikon did. I didn't realize how much a good lawyer meant until we dealt with our closing and saw the effort he put into resolving every issue that popped up (and believe me, there were TONS that were OTHER PEOPLE'S faults). Thank you Nikon and I look forward to working with you again in the future! I apologize for this being so lengthy!

Sheila Horgan

Nikon did the closing on our home. Very happy with the friendly, attentive service.

We recently worked with Nikon and his firm for a real estate transaction. Everything went very smoothly all thanks to Nikon's superb attention to detail. He was available to answer all of my ten million questions :-). In addition he followed up with bank attorney etc to make sure we get closing done on time. I appreciate his dedication for his clients. I highly recommend Nikon and the law firm.

Michael Depuy

We worked with Limberis Law on two real estate transactions and we couldn't be happier with our experience during both engagements. We worked with Nikon and were impressed by his attention to detail, ability to breakdown complex topics, as well as the prompt turnaround when we asked questions. Nikon's ability to work with attorneys on the other side of the deal was also a huge plus in both instances.

Georganne Lopez

The SL Law Group has been a fantastic asset to my family.They helped us with complicated trusts,and wills.And always with a smile and friendly attitude.Dealing with these legal aspects of life can be anxiety producing,but Steve and his group helped make the process much easier!
