We Defend Only New York City Tenants
Many New York City law firms claim to represent tenants but devote substantial effort to representing landlords as well. Established in 1981, Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph is among the few New York City law firms that represent only the interests of New York City tenants.
We advocate on behalf of individuals, families, tenant associations, cooperative shareholder groups and condominium associations in disputes over evictions, rent increases, rental-owner conversions and other issues by providing:
- Tenant, co-op and condo unit owner representation: We advocate for tenants affected by evictions, in court and administrative agency proceedings, and have comprehensive skills and experience in the field of tenant-landlord law, including Rent Control and Rent Stabilization Laws, as well as Mitchell-Lama and Private Housing Finance Law. We also represent individuals in the purchase or sale of residential units, rental-owner conversions of buildings and construction defects. Each lawyer has a particular area of focus, so we can give you prudent and sound legal advice no matter what is your real estate-related legal problem.
- Co-op and condo board representation: We can guide your board of managers or co-op board through various complex legal issues surrounding building management, including those involving the New York Condo Act.
- Foreclosures representation: We assist residential and commercial clients who are in the process of fighting a foreclosure process.
Few law firms have the depth, breadth and length of experience we have in representing thousands of New York City tenants in a multitude of landlord-tenant disputes. For a consultation, call us in Manhattan at 646-666-8496.
