Exceptional!

I can't say enough about Steven and his team. After weeks of searching for someone to represent us with a residential property issue I came across him and his firm. I immediately received a response to my email and a consultation was set up. What a relief to me and my family. That was just the be...ginning. From the moment my siblings and I walked into the office for our consultation we felt welcomed and put at ease. Steven gave us his honest opinion and advice on how we should proceed. We immediately trusted him as he is the expert. He took control along with his colleague Christopher Rienzi and things started to move very quickly. We were kept informed and received expert guidance/advice every step of the way until a positive outcome was reached. A+ to Steven and his team. I highly recommend.

Effective, Compassionate, Reliable

I hired Steven Waldinger to help my 90 year old mother who was being overcharged for rent by a fancy residential living facility for seniors in Westchester County. It took months for the lawyers at the residence to even respond to Steven but he stuck with the case and gave me sound advice all along ...the way. I felt like he really cared about what was happening with my mother. He was effective in coming up against this senior living community which as sites all over the U.S. The case ended up going the way I wanted to. I highly recommend him and would use his services again. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and it was a positive experience.

Inwood Hills Condominium

After years of hearing from our old attorney that we couldn’t remove a drug addicted tenant who overdosed on average of four or five times a year where emergency services had to be called and would be up all night pacing the floor keeping the resident below from getting a good nights sleep, I hired S...teven to examine the problem. Within four months the tenant was gone. Steven was also able to remove another problem tenant who lived here for at least ten years and who broke into another unit on more than one occasion. Steven responds to my emails the same day or at the latest the next day. Both I and the Board of Managers couldn’t be happier with Steven’s knowledge, ability, and performance.

Property Manager

Stephen represents many of our community association clients and has been an amazing resource to their respective Boards. He has incredible knowledge of community association law, governing document interpretations, collections/delinquency management, and general litigation. I highly recommend.

Superior advocate

I was very impressed with Steven's assistance with a Co-op matter. He provided expert legal advice and was extraordinarily prompt and attentive. Steven began work on my case immediately after our first meeting and responded to my emails very quickly. I would recommend Steven highly.

  • 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.
