Mr. Smollens is an excellent lawyer. I hired him to represent me in a legal issue with my NYC rent-stabilized apt. He is razor sharp with his area of law and was a fighter for my interests. He was generous with his time and counsel as well. He also broke everything down so I could understand it. In ...the end, he protected my interests extremely well and I was very happy with the results. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wanted a tenant rights attorney with New York City creds who will fight to the finish for you.

For anyone seeking a great lawyer regarding landlord and tenant matters, I would definitely recommend Steven. I am a tenant in a co op and recently received a notice to cure. Due to the complex nature of the situation, I had to reach out to a few top rated lawyers. Steven was the first to respond.... He provided me with a great assessment. I had a follow-up question and he responded that even with more details. Despite the complex nature of my situation, he provided me with a few paths the co op board (landlord) can take and if I have a chance to recover in different scenarios. He is definitely the master of his practice while acting very friendly and helpful. Definitely on top of my list, for tenant landlord issues.
