Bikram Singh

Carlos Hernandez - Mr. Singh represented my wife and I in a landlord tenant case where the landlord was trying to regain possession of my rent-stabilized apartment based on personal use. The landlord also failed to offer any lease renewals since 1997. I filed a complaint with the DHCR, but the compla...int was dismissed and the DHCR gave the landlord the “green light” to move forward with the eviction. As soon as I received the eviction papers, I retained Mr. Singh’s services. He examined my case and noticed several material defects in the landlord’s case. He immediately filed a motion to dismiss and the case was dismissed. The Court correctly stated in a long decision that DHCR was incorrect in its application of the law. We were very happy with Mr. Singh’s representation.

My partner and I were involved in a tenant / landlord litigation concerning our rent stabilized apartment and a legal sublet. Although we had been completely upfront and transparent with building management following all of their guidelines they attempted to use our sublet request as a way to break o...ur rent stabilized lease. The prewar building is undergoing major changes as the new owners are breaking as many rent stabilized leases as they can to bring the apartments up to market rate. They are harassing long standing tenants, adopting deceitful, heavy handed and, at times, illegal tactics in order to remove them. They know that most rent stabilized tenants, like ourselves, don’t have the money and resources to fight back. After a year of meeting with various city agencies and trying to fight the building’s legal team ourselves we were referred by the New York Bar Association to Bikram Singh. They said that he has an amazing record and that if anybody would be able to help us it would be him. You can’t image the sense of relief after our first meeting. He read through our case and said he would take it. As we signed the retainer I asked him, “So now what do we need to do?” He said, “Nothing. Relax. We’ll take care of this.” And they did. Helpful, empathetic and with such integrity. He and his partner Reena Rani really went above and beyond to take care of us. They honestly put our best interest before anything else. Two amazing, knowledgeable people.

Mr. Singh helped me save my restaurant in the city. There were too many bogus charges on my monthly statements that were inconsistent with my lease agreement. I realized that my landlord was overcharging me for water & electricity, where the consumption of the water over the years was the same for th...e most part but the charges were so drastically different. For instance, it would be $300 for one month and $700 the next month. When I withheld rent, they sued and Mr. Singh filed countersuit against them. We ended up settling the case with a very favorable outcome. Mr. Singh was very professional throughout the process and extremely reasonable with his fees. I would highly recommend this attorney.

Going through any legal dispute is stressful, especially when it is a real estate matter in NYC. Fortunately for me, I hired Bikram. He has extensive experience in handling NYC real estate disputes. His ability to clearly communicate to ensure my understanding of my legal rights, his timeliness and... responsiveness to my requests, his genuine concern for my well-being, and his desire to make sure that my rights were secured; alleviated some of my stress. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was legally protected from any future litigation. I highly recommend Bikram. He is no nonsense, to the point, non-judgmental, and he gets the job done.

Bikram was an excellent advocate to have on your side. He is experienced in tenant cases and will give you the right advice. Bikram represented me in court and with the landlord's attorneys, so I didn't have to take time off from my very busy schedule. He was in constant communication whenever there ...was an update. He fought hard to get me a fair and just settlement. I'm grateful that I had him on my side in what can seem like a very daunting experience.
