Seth A. Miller

I had the pleasure of working with Steven Miller as my landlord-tenant lawyer, and I cannot speak highly enough about his exceptional knowledge and expertise in this area of law. From the moment I sought his assistance, I knew I was in capable hands. Steven's knowledge of landlord-tenant laws is t...ruly impressive. He displayed a deep understanding of the complexities involved in such cases and was able to explain everything in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for me to comprehend the legal processes and potential outcomes. Throughout our interactions, Steven's expertise shone through, providing me with invaluable insights and guidance. What sets Steven apart is not just his knowledge but also his dedication to his clients. He genuinely cared about my case and took the time to listen to my concerns, ensuring he had a comprehensive understanding of the situation. I wholeheartedly recommend Steven Miller to anyone seeking a landlord-tenant lawyer. His knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to his clients are second to none.

After the building where I have lived for decades was sold the new Owner filed a demolition application seeking permission to evict me from a rent stabilized apartment. Mr. Miller’s name was on a list of tenant attorneys and I consulted with several of them. As soon as I met Mr. Miller I knew I had f...ound the attorney to oppose the demo application and to fight for my right to remain in my home. He works at the highest level of professionalism and takes care to explain the risks and costs involved in this type of proceeding. Mr. Miller’s knowledge of tenant law goes very deep, his arguments and legal writing are first-rate, and from the moment he started work he was a relentless advocate. Although often very busy I could always count on him for prompt and clear answers to my questions. Mr. Miller’s hourly rate is entirely appropriate for the outstanding service he provides and his bills were often lower than I expected given that he works quickly and efficiently. It was well worth the effort to oppose the demo application because eventually it was denied… a decision that was also upheld on appeal. I can’t thank Mr. Miller enough for helping me stay in my home and recommend him most highly.

I retained Seth Miller's firm to facilitate a transfer of Loft Law protections from a former tenant to myself via a sale of improvements. I could not be more pleased with the process and the results. Communication with Seth was consistently prompt, clear, concise, transparent and when it needed to be... - reassuring. Happy to report that as a result of his efforts and expertise on my behalf, I am now a Loft Law protected tenant. Forever grateful for his work, highly recommended.

Our brownstone was on the market for a long time. We were concerned what would happen to us, the remaining rent-stabilized tenants, when the building sold. One tenant began researching lawyers. When the building finally sold, I was the first tenant to be served with papers that my lease would not be ...renewed (after 30 years). By this time, the tenant had interviewed a lot of lawyers. She told me she found Seth Miller to be the best. When I met him, I liked him. Another tenant thought he would be a tough s.o.b., which is what you need. Mr. Miller does charge $300 an hour, which is a lot of money. But the amounts charged were not as much as I thought they would be. You also have an agreement regarding his fee, and Mr. Miller will tell you how much something can cost. I had to get back the money I put out. While there is no guarantee, I got back 4x that amount. Mr. Miller got me over $100K. Mr. Miller's charges also were in line with what we heard it would cost to keep our apartments. Mr. Miller works on a high level - of standards and the law. I found his knowledge of the law to be like a professor's. A number of things he did were brilliant. Although he can be busy, he always took the time to explain everything to me and meet with me to answer my questions. He also continues working, despite the other side's misuse of the law and behavior, until he wins. When you are having your home taken from you (for greed), you need someone who will protect you and you can work with. It is great that Mr. Miller works on behalf of tenants. He is the best.

I am the President of a large tenant association in lower Manhattan. When we were looking for an attorney to help with significant tenant matters, including the J-51 tax abatement and it's impact on our complexes status, Seth Miller was the only tenant attorney who knew immediately what we were talki...ng about. Other's interviewed were either pessimistic about our outcome, or quite frankly, didn't understand the issues. Seth Miller's integrity is more than honorable, his dedication is formidable and gives us a feeling of trust and confidence. His intelligence, knowledge and ability to understand complicated issues has been a great comfort during difficult times. I refer Seth Miller and his firm without hesitation.
