Landlord & Tenant
Attorney Takach dealt with my matter in a timely and effective manner. This was a holdover case brought on by a spiteful landlord. I was very satisfied with the outcome and with the professionalism displayed by my attorney.

Karen was extremely professional and thorough with my landlord tenant issues took the time to answer all my questions, even in the weekend. We settled the case in my favor and even used her services again for another issue that came up. I highly recommend her.

This attorney is the best
I was appalled to read the prior review. This does not describe the attorney that I met. Ms. Takach was very conscientious and nice to me, had patience for me, and resolved my issues and saved my apartment. I strongly recommend her as an attorney for any tenant with legal problems or issues.

Sample of Legal Cases
Landlords and tenants are not allowed to evade the Rent Stabilization Law by private agreement. Any such agreement is void from the start, and the tenant must be recognized as Rent-Stabilized.
The City as a general rule will not follow their own laws and regulations regarding emergency assistance, but rather tend to have a knee-jerk reaction of denial, especially if the arrears sought are a large amount
Tenants who were previously seen as having no defense against eviction were recognized as having due process protections, so that they could only be evicted for cause.
