James B. Fishman

James was an excellent attorney in an awkward dispute I had with my landlord in a pied a terre in Manhattan. He knew the law so well and handled the rather aggressive landlord adroitly and calmly and with such experience and depth of knowledge of NYC laws. My situation involved the landlord posting p...hotos on line of the apartment while I was living there, using my design work, and numerous threats, as well as unreasonable showing requests after I had decided not to renew my lease, and lying to gain entry when I was not at home. i would highly recommend James to anyone for real estate law in NYC.

We are a non profit organization that was sued in state court by a large national company preying on immigrants. Mr. Fishman agreed to represent us on a pro bono basis. He did an outstanding job. He thoroughly researched all of the pertinent legal issues. He had a precise grasp on the legal and proce...dural issues and argued eloquently in state court. We were unquestionably in very good hands.

Mr fishman was recommended to me by another lawyer on avvo. After writing to him regarding my issue I was contacted by his legal aide who set up a phone consult. I paid $395 for 1 hr consult and Mr fishman told me he could not assist me. He did give me good information but it wasn't anything that I d...idn't know. I feel he should've denied my business before taking my hard earned money.

Mr. Fishman not only put us extremely at ease immediately regarding our Notice to Cure from our landlord on our rent-stabilized apt but also and more importantly explained our situation in straightforward terms and gave us invaluable and clear advice going forward. We are extremely happy to have him ...in our corner. His first step was to answer the notice and informing the landlord’s attorney that he had been retained. The result was that the landlord would not be going forward. We are encouraged by this first step taken in securing our lease renewal.

I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Mr. James Fishman and staff. My landlord, who has been trying to evict me for years, served papers on me right before my birthday and a vacation. I reached out to Mr. Fishman because I had a consultation with him months ago and he advised me ...as to what I should do in the event the papers came. OMG, Mr. Fishman and staff were right on top on things. They kept me up to date of the status of my impending case as things changed. This mean sometimes they reached out to me at least 3 or 4 times during the day. This constant communication reassured me that I had my fate in competent hands. Mr. Fishman not only educate me on some of the case studies he introduced to the landlord's lawyer but I think it's possible the lawyers received a little education too. My case was resolved without me even having to go to court. I could not thank him enough for his services. I hope I do not have to go through this again but if I do, I will definitely call Mr. Fishman again. I highly recommend him and his staff, you will not go wrong. As they say on other websites, "I was not paid to do this review"
