Incredible help!

Working with Edward Deignan was hands down the best experience I have had with a lawyer. He was extremely helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and professional. He helped me out of a very stressful situation and worked on a very tight deadline with grace, humor and a tremendous amount of support. I can...'t recommend him highly enough.

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.
