Almost losing my apartment

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.

TENANT LANDLORD LEGAL SUBLET ISSUE

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.

Bikram Singh is an excellent attorney

Mr. Singh is an excellent attorney and a person. He listens to his client’s concerns and takes it very seriously. Mr. Singh represented me in several matters ranging from my business to real estate litigation. I was extremely happy with the results.

Incredibly Helpful Lawyer

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 Singh

The Law Firm of Mr.Bikram Singh has helped me successfully on three separate occasions. The first instance was when developers were harassing me to move from my apartment and would not give me a lease. Mr.Singh immediately stopped the harassment and obtained a lease for me. Later when the same develo...pers agreed to by my lease I employed Mr.Singh once again to take me through a very frightening and lengthy process. He and his firm were assuring and confident at every step of the way. Lastly Mr. Singh helped me to create a will, something that I had needed to do for many years. He had handled all my legal matters successfully. I have referred several persons to Mr.Singh and would do so again without hesitation.
