Ari S. Mor

If you have a landlord/dispute or rent stabilization case, don’t hire this guy! I paid this guy almost $1,300 and he is the laziest shiftless lawyer I have every worked with. I booked a consultation and paid $90. He gives you a two hour window that he will call you with and not an exact time. Whe...n he finally did call, he was in his car, driving half paying attention. He has a good online presence and I already invested $90 so I decided to move forward with him a couple months after the consultation. He charges $1,200 for out of court negotiation. $4,500 if your landlord/tenant sues first and 10K to sue your landlord/tenant first Long story short. He makes excuses, has very little communication and there is almost a week between emails. I paid him $1,200 to review my documents and get back to me with the full intension of paying him the $4500 when my landlord tried to sue me because my landlord illegally deregulated my apartment from rent stabilization. I ended up hiring another lawyer, who I won’t name on this review but he did what Ari could not do in 3 weeks in 1 hour. The other lawyer I spoke to kept me on hold, asked me questions and we sent documents back and forth over the line. He told me I had a good case and within a week, we were ready to file. When you send Ari a document, instead of responding immediately or asking a question. He waits a week, then asks a question and then it will take another week to hear from him and then he simply asks another question. Instead of anticipating an gathering all the things he needs up front. He plays the waiting game with you. He once told he would get back to me in a week. 9 days passed and I HAD TO REACHOUT to him. He said he had ‘covid’ and was behind. If he was so behind, why not be pro-active and reach out to your clients ahead of time. Seemed like a lie. I could go on with more stories and anecdotes but he doesn’t know what he is doing. I paid out money to another lawyer and a consultant and they didn’t need 3 weeks to tell me whether or not I had a good case.

I hired him for a difficult case and he did very little work and was impossible to get in touch with. I also had to remind of basic information about my case. The few times I met with him he was late and unorganized. I know that lawyers are very busy and I never expected him to be perfect. He wou...ld disappear for weeks / months at a time, I literally had to contact him several times in order to get a response… Things also because very difficult with him, when l I started to ask questions about the status of my case and the financial status. He then became difficult, nasty and aggressive towards me. He is not a litigator, has very little court room experience (and it shows) and if you need someone that can work with more complex situations he is not for you. I think he is fine for easy cases that require very little work. If you do hire him, get everything in writing… And make sure you have an ironclad agreement…
