Landlord / Tenant Dispute

We retained Matt to deal with this nightmare Landlord who took us to court for holdover. We were renting this place as our house was being lifted due to the hurricane damage. As the construction delayed we had to extend the lease. At the second time extension, this greedy landlord wanted us to pay... a lot more. That was so unreasonable that we asked the rental office to negotiate the terms before we sign. They refused to do so and took us to court for holdover instead. I contacted Matt for initial consultation and he was very understanding of our situation, and we did exactly what he advised us to do on the first court date. After that we formally retained him to represent us. Although he had so much going on that time, he was always caring, returning my call quickly or gave me a call to provide updates as it occurs. He was taking the time to explain what to expect next and even called our contractor to get clarification on the timing to make sure we would not vacate the apartment too soon if the offer was accepted by both parties. The outcome was exactly what we wished. We moved out that place on agreed date without paying them any extra. Thank you Matt, for an awesome job.

OUTSTANDING

I highly recommend Matt. My case was not like most and was an extremely complicated real-estate deal. I reached out to several attorneys who declined to help me. I was left feeling vulnerable, emotionally devastated and at risk of losing $22k. This loss would have financially crippled me. Once I ...connected with Matt things started to change. Matt was professional, knowledgeable and highly responsive. I met with him immediately after our first conversation. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. In a short time my nightmare was over. HONESTY. INTEGRITY. COMPASSION. I received all of this and more while working with him.

Great Sevice

Mr. Tannenbaum was prompt, proffessional and took his time answering all my questions. My son recieved a speeding ticket and I was worried about the cost and long term effect on my insurance. I found Mr. Tannenbaum on Avvo and figured I'd give him a call to seek some advice. He immediatly took my c...all and put me at ease. He answered all 1,000 questions I had and earned my trust. Although he was on vacation he met me in his office to retain his services and represented my case in court the next day. .. even on such short notice and 4th of July weekend!! He had the ticket knocked down to a non moving violation, called me immedietly with the great news. I would highly reccomend him to anyone who needs representation. Patient, kind and on your side. We refer to him as our Favorite Lawyer!

Matt Tannenbaum is great!

Matt was professional yet compassionate when handling my case. My mother appointed me Executrix of her estate and I was responsible for getting the house I grew up in ready for market. Matt was understanding and answered all my questions. He was thorough at closing, which just took place, and was ...pretty accurate on what the end results were. I would highly recommend Matt and plan on using him for additional legal services.

Great attorney and great guy

I met Matt a few years back in another closing where he represented the bank. It became instantly apparent that he was the sharpest person in the room. I made a note that in my next real estate transaction I would have him handle it for us. Matt was tremendously helpful in both our sale and purcha...se of our homes. He gave us regular updates and always took the time to explain everything to us. We had some unexpected issues with the purchaser of our home. Matt was always there to calm our fears and further rectify the situation. He always explained the law to us and advised us of all our options. For the purchase of our home, Matt helped negotiate our terms so that we were well protected in the event our sale didn't go through. Luckily this did not happen, but it was nice to know that our risk was minimal. We were extremely pleased and forever grateful for all of Matt's help and legal expertise.
