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.

Sample of Legal Cases

Second Lenox Terrace Assoc. v. Angela Cuevas [24 Misc 3d 1217(A) (Civ. Ct. NY Co., 2009)]

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.

Minerva Perez v. Brian Wing, Commissioner NYS Department of Social Services [263 A.D.2d 391, 693 N.Y.S.2d 126 (1st Dept. 1999)]

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

512 East 11th Street HDFC v. Carl Grimmet [181 A.D.2d 488, 581 N.Y.S.2d 24 ( 1st Dept. 1992)]

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
