Highly Recommend

I called attorney Ted Diegnan for help with my very unreasonable landlord who was threatening to not allow me to move out of the building because my lease wasn't up, they actually said they would not allow me to use the elevator and would deny my movers entry. Ted was very responsive and immediately... helped me by getting in contact w/my landlord and getting their attorney to respond and come to a reasonable agreement. I called in desperation on a Friday afternoon with my move scheduled for Monday morning, Ted worked through the weekend for me negotiating with my landlord we came to an agreement on Sunday and I was able to move out Monday morning. Ted was great and charged me a reasonable fee as well, highly recommend.

Wonderful landlord lawyer

We had a real problem with our tenant. Edward walked us through all our options to solve the problem and he was very patient with us. He wrote an agreement. It was not your boiler plate agreement because the agreement had to be tailored to our tenant. The tenant left after signing the agreement.

Amazing, immediate, actionable counsel

I panicked after signing my first lease in New York City and Teddy responded immediately—hearing me out, assuaging my concerns, and giving me sound, actionable, easy-to-understand advice I was able to put to use that same day. New York real estate is incredibly intimidating and I feel fortunate to ha...ve found Teddy. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Great consultation

I spoke to Teddy briefly about a situation I was in with a former roommate and the landlord. He listened to everything I had to say and helped me figure out what legal actions I could take against my former roommate. While it wasn't a case he would personally take to trial, he was respectful, listene...d and offered the right solution of taking my case to small-claims court. He is a super easy person to work with.
