Edward F S Deignan

I was dealing with some serious issues with my landlord in regards to malfunctioning and broken amenities in my apartment and being forced and harassed to pay for it. I had a consultation with Edward and he was extremely knowledgeable and insightful on the matter. He took his time to understand m...y situation and gave great advice that allowed multiple options of solutions! In a sea of lawyers that are cold and don’t seem to care Edward Deignan truly stood out as a man for the people and will trust him to be my lawyer if I choose to proceed with this case!

As a residential renter, I was befuddled and nervous about a complex new lease my landlord presented me with. Teddy charged a reasonable flat rate to look at my old and my new lease, defined key terms, and let me know if I had anything to be concerned about. I didn’t. He’s warm, smart, and loves his ...work. Can you ask for anything more?

After researching several different attorneys to seek out legal advice in regard to my landlords failure to make repairs, I took notice to Teddy's great reviews, and called his office. He was so patient, informative, and gave my wife and I much needed legal advice to best handle our situation. Not on...ly did he hear me out, but I could tell that he was passionate and caring in regard to our frustrating situation. My wife and I feel like we have someone in our corner now. That is enormous for us as we have had our backs against a wall for 19 months. After speaking with Teddy I feel empowered now knowing our rights as NYC tenants. I highly recommend his services to anyone with landlord/tenant issues!

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.
