Jennifer Addonizio Rozen

Jennifer Rozen is a blessing of a lawyer! I found myself in a mess of a situation. Unfortunately, my apartment had MAJOR issues from sewage back ups to cockroach infestations and everything in between. I went to Jennifer in a time of need and she was beyond helpful. She knew the law and exactly what needed to be done. I thought her pricing was fair and I was more than thankful for the great communication from her and Mike Ward. They both are beyond approachable and really supportive. Jennifer got me out of a sticky situation with such ease I was beyond thankful. Jennifer and Mike were truly a blessing during a rough time. I HIGHLY recommend them!

The initial meeting with Jen Rozen immediately took the stress and fear out of the pit of my stomach. Her legal knowledge and experience, warmth and sense of humour reassured me that I was meeting with a consummate professional and all round good person. As a tenant, I was used to feeling powerless but that all changed when Jen took on our case. We finally had a lawyer who knew the ropes and was relentless in her pursuit of a positive outcome for the tenants she represented. Jen, Mike and Karishma are an excellent team. Not only are they capable and intelligent people but they have an ethical approach to their work and their clients. I would recommend them without hesitation if you have housing issues and a landlord who refuses to do anything about them or who may be putting your health and safety in danger. This law firm will go above and beyond for you.

Jennifer was our attorney on a decade-long case that involved our rent stabilized building (I was a tenant) and was in a dog-fight with some TOUGH building owners that were double-dipping on the tax-abatement (stipend) from the city/state and us, the tenant. As the years went by, and the case moved from court to court, had appeal and appeal, and more time kept going by she ALWAYS said, we will be victorious! She knew our case was strong, but would not be strong-armed by this notorious landlord. She would email us each and every time there was a hearing, trial or any material information on the case, and a timeline. She never lost her motivation and after a decade we were just awarded! And let me just say, it was like hitting the lottery!!! Jennifer, you ROCK!

I have no words to thank Jen and Mike for helping me out in a very stressful situation with my-now-former landlady. Jen was recommended by a friend of mine who is also a lawyer and said she is “the best lawyer you can possibly find.” At first, I had a hard time believing that. See, I had a complicated situation as my landlady was demanding more money right after she fixed our hot water and shortly after the incident, I had to leave for a 2-month stay abroad. During this time, I emailed with Jen regularly and even though I would normally feel like a wreck being out of the country with my stuff (and cat) inside my apartment, Jen followed-up immediately and made me feel safe; any communication I received from the landlady, I reported it to Jen and within a day Jen would respond, it was incredible! It is very rare to find this level of commitment and responsiveness and as a result I was able to relax somewhat during my stay abroad. When I returned, my living situation was uncomfortable again, so Jen followed up with my landlady’s lawyer many times and was able to give me the result I had been seeking in such an efficient and prompt way within days. If you are also dealing with a greedy landlady/landlord, and if you want an attorney who has your back, is responsive and trustworthy, look no further. I have already recommended Jen to one friend, and I will continue to suggest her to anyone needing solid legal advice. I had no prior knowledge of my rights as a tenant, in fact, I remember during our first call I was really nervous, but Jen and Mike will make you feel safe and understood and right now if there is one thing all New Yorkers need in this high-rent frenzy is access to knowledge, knowledge of tenants’ rights. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to stand up to injustice and for giving me peace of mind; had I not found you I would probably continue to live in a hellish situation. I will be eternally grateful for everything you did and there should be more practitioners in the legal system with such integrity and thoughtfulness.

I was renting a unit that was apparently unlawfully deregulated, and I wanted to at least recover rent overpayment. Jennifer Rozen was recommended to me by others in similar situations with the same landlord. Jennifer was knowledgeable and efficient and was able to quickly negotiate a settlement with the landlord. It helps that she handles many of these cases and had dealt with the landlord's counsel before. Would definitely recommend for those dealing with apartments that have potentially been unlawfully deregulated.
