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.

Concise, helpful consultation.

Teddy Deignan was very helpful with my case. I reached out after work hours on a Friday and he was able to contact me before the weekend was over and set up time later in the week to consult. His consultation was concise, and he explained the process of filing a response very well over the phone, so ...that I did not feel lost when I went to the courthouse later. He was upfront with his opinion that my case was relatively simple and that I probably did not need to pay for an attorney to appear with me in court, but he stated his rates in case I decided to anyway. Overall a very helpful consultation, which both gave me concrete steps to take and put my mind at ease after a landlord had surprised me with an unexpected petition.

If you need L&T lawyer

Ted Diegan is your man especially if you reside in the Brooklyn area and need a L&T attorney. He took on my rent control eviction case and diligently saw it through to a positive conclusion. Over the course of almost 2 years the other side went through multiple teams of heavy weights and various nast...y approaches, Ted swatted them down at every turn and never waivered. Patient, honorable and very knowledgable about his specific field I'd never hesitate to recommend him.

Highly recommended for landlord/tenant disputes

I retained Mr. Deignan recently in a landlord/tenant dispute and was extremely satisfied with his performance, and I would highly recommend his services. Operating out of a non-traditional office space in Red Hook, Mr. Deignan offers a free in-person consultation. During my consultation, Mr. De...ignan listened patiently to all the details of my situation. By the end of the consultation, he had throughly considered the facts of my situation and laid out various options for consideration. I choose to retain Mr. Deignan after that consultation. Mr. Deignan did an excellent job for the remainder of my case. In general, I was able to reach him via email as required, which was important to me. My specific case required a lot of back and forth between the parties and Mr. Deignan did a great job throughout that process. One area for improvement would be in the some of the back office aspects of Mr. Deignan's practice, as some of the paperwork required such as billing invoices could use some improvement. Thank you again. Highly recommended.

Excellent Lawyer

We recommend Mr. Deignan:) My husband and I ran into a landlord/tenant situation, and we found Mr. Deignan through Avvo. We met him for a consultation, and he was extremely knowledgeable about landlord/tenant law, and he had given us very valuable advice. We are very grateful to have met him.
