Excellent | 5 Stars

David Hershey-Webb proved to be one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. I've worked with 6 other attorneys and law-firms in Manhattan for residential and commercial real-estate cases plus business needs over the years. I needed assistance resolving an issue with a large NYC residential landl...ord with their own in-house legal team; Also navigating the new major revisions to ever-changing NYC rental laws. Worth mentioning, all that in addition to understanding the complex NY courts logistics during the Coronavirus pandemic. From my initial phone call with David to closing my case, I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. His most impressive trait was the level of trust he immediately established. I felt like he was on my team and had my back the second he heard my case and felt he legitimately understood my concern. David never made me feel rushed or that he was too busy or my case wasn't big enough, etc. I really appreciated that. David was also knowledgeable of very specific and somewhat obscure laws pertaining to my case and more importantly how to apply them. I highly recommend the services of David and the team at Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph LLP.

I had an excellent experience

I had an excellent experience with David Hershey-Webb, who is extremely knowledgeable, lives up to his impressive and outstanding credentials, and also is a very caring person who went out of his way to help me. On the Friday of a holiday weekend, David took the time to respond immediately to an urg...ent matter for me. An attorney referred me to David as top in tenant law, based on David’s having successfully handled many tenant issues for him. I highly recommend David Hershey-Webb.

Satisfied Client

Hired David Hershey-Webb to deal with a lease issue. Had ended my lease due to lack of access for the disabled. Landlord refused to comply with me needs and refused to terminate the lease. David resolved the issue within a few days and was able allow me to terminate the lease and get the majority ...of my security.

A great laywer

David fought brilliantly for 3 years and successfully won against an eviction notice from my home of 42 years. He impressed me immediately by his friendly, engaging personality. David fiercely upheld my senior citizens rights in the face of relentless opposition by my landlord. His constant communica...tion kept us fully informed of progress every step of the way. He is a keen listener as well as being thorough in his attention to details that were crucial to my case, always taking copious notes during our meetings. David's erudite briefs confidently voiced a clarity and conviction and his performance in court was superb. I am honored to have had a lawyer as experienced and talented as David.

Crème de la crème of tenant law

David Hershey-Webb of Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph represented me some years ago in a dispute with my landlord. He won an abatement for me and over the years has advised me on various issues. David is one of New York's best tenant attorneys. Working with him is a dream, even ...if the circumstances aren't the most pleasant. I appreciated David's realistic assessments of any given situation and found his expert legal advice invaluable. David is a true advocate for tenants. I have recommended David and his firm countless times since he first represented me.
