Edward F S Deignan

Edward is extremely professional. I needed help with a case with my landlady and I called multiple attorneys, and only he answered quickly and found time for an in-person meeting right the next day. He reviewed the documents, offered very fair price and got to work on the case immediately. Additional...ly, Teddy (that’s how he prefers to be called) is a very kind, polite, understanding and empathetic person. Thank you Teddy!

Teddy was a great help to getting an illegal tenant out of our basement; a problem we inherited from the seller/previous owner of our home. He explained the process thoroughly - the good, the bad, the worst case, etc. He was honest with his fees and cost (super reasonable by the way!) and the end re...sult was better than we hoped. We hope to NOT need his services again but would reach out/recommend him in a heartbeat, to anyone with a landlord/tenant issue. Thanks again Teddy!

Teddy keenly identified the legal merits of my reasons to pursue a dispute with a landlord and his associate and quickly countersued on my behalf; pinpointing issues that were not part of my initial complaints. His fluency representing both sides of the coin in his practice proved effective in reachi...ng a settlement in my favor which saved me tens of thousands of dollars; monies I was being threatened to pay despite the landlord’s years of neglect and mistreatment. Teddy was generous in his representation relative to the cost of his services and I will recommend him to anyone with any sort of landlord-tenant dispute here in NYC. Thank you for your work, Teddy.

From the moment I sat down in Teddy's office, I was greeted in a calm, understanding, genuine manner. It's never an easy task to find a lawyer and know whether you've made the right choice. Teddy took on my case and I immediately felt relief as I sensed that he was taking this on and in a personal m...anner (not just business way) that you don't see very often. He handled a difficult situation with knowledge, professionalism and ease. He negotiated a settlement for me that I was satisfied with and he is now handling my rent stabilized tenant landlord case. I did a thorough search of tenant landlord lawyers and while there may be many to come up in google- Teddy knew the complexities of my specific case and I trust that I am in good hands and have chosen the right route. He will text, facetime, zoom or meet in person- whatever he needs to do to make his clients feel most comfortable. He even squeezed me in day of on my previous case when an issue arose. I highly recommend him- and a friend of mine has also won her case with him in a rent stabilized case where he showed up to court to help her last minute with an illegal eviction. I rarely write reviews, but I knew this was important. I know how difficult it was when I didn't know whether I was making the right decision and reading reviews, so I feel this is a good platform to share with others my experience so they can make the right choice when seeking legal advice.
