Howard Steven Koh

Koh's ONLY interest is taking every dime you have with no regard for your interests or, apparently the law. He represents himself as the poster boy for moral rectitude, but in reality he the worst kind of con man and shiester. He is either TOTALLY incompetent, or more likely, actively undermined my ...interest in the service of his and his firms interests (financial and for future consideration for he and his law firm). I am intending on filing a complaint with the New York Bar Ass. for capturing fees, misrepresenting the law, and literally blackmailing me into accepting an unfavorable settlement. After 5 years and approximately $1,000,000 in legal fees Koh NEVER even obtain basic discovery, including my own account history! I was sued for eviction over $2,253 in unauthorized and fraudulent late fees (in fact late fees were only authorized by the Board 6 days prior to their filing the eviction proceedings), from a $1,350,000 co-op I owned OUTRIGHT. Yet it some how took 5 years and over $800,000 to get my one day trial, and after over $1,000,000 in legal fees Koh never even obtained a copy of my own account history!! He then strong armed me into take a terrible settlement ( threatening to quit every other day while cashing checks for tens of thousands of dollars a month), and pulled a bait and switch! In other words, after charging about $40,000 to negotiate a settlement, Koh, during allocation allowed the defense (I counter sued for damages) to change the terms. When I objected, he cut my off saying (on the record), "this is not the time. We can discuss this later". Her then delayed providing me a copy of the release, which bore NO resemblance to what I was told I was agreeing to, Koh LITERALLY refused to address my concerns or enforce the terms he was paid over $40,000 to negotiate, and threatened to resign, leaving me with no representation if I didn't sign. RUN AS FAR AND AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!! How I wish I had!!!!!
