Jahangir Zaheer

Last year, my family and I endured an unimaginable loss when my older sister passed away due to heart complications. Our grief was exacerbated by her significant other’s ruthless attempt to exploit the situation by trying to seize our family home, which they were occupying at the time. The inc...redible legal team at Zaheer, led by the brilliant Shabnam Mashmasarmi and Jay Zaheer, stepped in and guided us through this harrowing ordeal with unmatched expertise and compassion. Both of these exceptional lawyers utilized their specialized areas of law to masterfully address and resolve this crisis. Shabnam crafted ingenious strategies to counter and preempt any attempts by the boyfriend to advance his baseless claims, while Jay leveraged his profound and masterful knowledge of the law to secure the precise settlement we desired. To put it succinctly, Zaheer was playing chess while the ex-boyfriend was playing checkers. We feel extraordinarily fortunate and privileged to have had them champion our cause during this difficult time. Bravo, Zaheer Law Group! Your dedication and skill are truly unparalleled. You are the best!

I went to court as the tenant in a case where Jay was defending the landlord. Within the first few minutes, it became quickly apparent to me that I was dealing with a kind and empathetic human being whose thought process including the best possible outcome for all of the parties involved. Jay made m...e feel seen, understood, and most of all considered not as a defendant in a housing court case but as a human being . Jay, your empathy and good hearted nature is one that is not seen everyday and commands respect by even the most difficult of people. Jay makes himself relatable and easy to talk to and couples it with the ability to hold landlords/tenants alike accountable to fair and ethical outcomes according to the housing court laws. Jay truly has a unique style, is highly knowledgeable in Landlord/Tenant laws, and a fair lawyer who will give meaningful results!!

As a newer landlord who never had to deal with an eviction before, I didn't know where to begin. Jay was referred to me by a friend who had used him in the past for landlord/tenant disputes. I met with Jay and explained the situation I was in and he assured me that I would regain possession of the un...it. He tackled the case head on and made me feel like I was his only client. Jay is a very sharp attorney and really knows his stuff. He explained to me in detail every step of the process and really understands what you're going through. I highly recommend Jay and plan on using him for all my future land lording. 10/10 stars thanks Jay!

My partner and I found ourselves in an unsafe and incredibly frustrating living situation in an apartment that we had loved and lived in for years. After months of trying to get the help we needed on our own, and even going through the city, we knew it was time to hire an attorney. Having never b...een through something like this before, we had no idea who to go to. Jay came recommended to me through several of my peers. I called him and left a message, and he returned my call within an hour. Jay is incredibly thorough, passionate, and empathetic. He took the time to really listen to us and our concerns. He was also very patient and answered all of our many (sorry Jay!) questions. We really appreciated his clear communication style, making sure we understood everything each step of the way. When it comes to legal matters like this, things can sometimes move pretty slow. But Jay managed to get us out of the apartment safely, moved into our new unit, and have our settlement signed all within a months time. We are truly grateful to have had him recommended to us. Jay has gone up and beyond our expectations, and we are so appreciative for everything he did to help us through such a stressful time. We would without a doubt recommend Jay to anyone looking for legal advice or representation, particularly for housing issues. He's not only a great attorney, but a really nice person as well. 10/10 highly recommend working with him.

If I had to use two words to describe the representation that I received from attorney Jahangir Zaheer, they would be professional and compassionate. My case was related to a landlord/tenant dispute, and he was extremely empathetic and understanding to my situation all the while ensuring that my bes...t interests were represented. He did diligent research, negotiated assertively, and helped me get the best possible outcome from a very stressful and ugly situation. I would highly recommend attorney Zaheer to all my friends and family!
