Samuel J. Himmelstein

Sam Himmelstein is a jewel of a man. He is an ethical, moral and infinitely kind human being. You are in great hands if you have hired him to come to your aid. He is one of the most experienced housing attorneys in New York. He fights hard and knows all the players. He is fair and reasonably pri...ced - you could not do better. I have hired him twice with 15 years in between. On the second request he provided information and recommendations without asking for pay - he literally told me what to write in response to management harassment. When they persisted he called the opposing attorney who ironically happened to have used Sam to represent him in his own housing suit - amicably resolved. On the first case, his attention to detail saved the day in court, and was favorably resolved. Most important he is so reassuring and checks in to see that you are holding up - priceless! I checked with other attorneys on the second instant and they would not speak to me until a financial deposit was made and they were thousands of dollars more to hire. You will not be mislead or disappointed by Sam.

i hired Sam Himmelstein on May 15 2013 in a case related to a protracted and nasty legal battle with my landlord who attempted to evict me with my infant despite the fact that I fall under stabilization. The landlord has been harassing me out of my apartment and using ever dirty trick in the book. Sa...m told me great things about my case potential, and about his great skill and expertise in the area. He promised me aggressive representation. In 10 1/2 weeks passed since i gave him the retainer he NEVER returned a phone call or email except once where he told me had been busy, and now is going on vacation, and I should talk to someone else! He has even failed to deposit my check to deposit for 2 weeks now, despite the judge's order!
