Great Lawyer for Landlord Tenant

Scott Miller is a terrific lawyer. I am an owner of several multi family buildings in Brooklyn and have used his services for a few years to evict non paying tenants, tenants that are nuisances and tenants that were not actually living in their apartments. Scott is extremely detailed, knowledgable an...d knows the ins and outs of housing court. I have used others before but since I started using Scott the others have been forgotten. In my opinion one of the best... I will say his services don't come cheaply but the old adage you get what you pay for rings true here. Highly recommend.

Choose Better For Better Results!

Scott Represented me in a Landlord Tenant Case in September 2012 & I would not recommend him for services. 1st off he makes it clear that payment is more important than case details and what you should expect. 2nd Don't expect updates or consistent communication: He will use his secretary as a dive...rsion even when he is in the office and called you less than 2 mins prior! 3rd what he says verbally is not what will be put on paper! He leaves you stranded on the details of your case and when you try to get clarity will find many contradictions between what he initially told you and what ended up actually happening! He's no different than any other lawyer looking to get paid for doing next to nothing, stay away from him!

Experienced Professional, Extremely Knowledgeable

We have been using Scott Miller for our Landlord-Tenant legal needs for many years and he has been highly successful in handling our cases. He and his partner Robin Kahn are a pleasure to work with, very responsive and communicative. We are quite discerning about who we work with and we cannot reco...mmend him enough....A+++

Dissatisfied

I have a case in housing court that has perhaps a few more layers of complexity than the usual landlord-tenant dispute. My landlord filed a completely specious petition alleging that I owe him upwards of $20,000 in back rent and $4K in unspecified "maintenance" charges. I provided documentation of... payment for the months specified in the petition. The twist here is that in June, my landlord stole checks from my mail, then forged my signature and deposited them in his own account in PA. That's at least three felonies in two different states. Further, he has repeatedly verbally harassed me both in person and to my neighbors, and falsely certified to HPD that he has corrected lead violations in my apartment. So getting him to back off and settle this absurdity should be a no-brainer, right? That's what Mr. Miller indicated when I hired him, but since that time he has been entirely unresponsive to my repeated, specific requests that he do what is necessary to force a settlement. Instead he has suggested that I cooperate with the court appearances necessitated by the landlord's further specious allegations-- a list of 6 other months I allegedly didn't pay rent, hastily scribbled on a yellow legal pad in the waiting room at housing court after the original petition was exposed as nonsense. A list that he and his attorney refused to even show me-- and this is a "petition" that I have to disprove in court? Absurd. I vehemently and repeatedly disagreed that spending my time and money playing the game on my landlord's terms was in my interests, or even necessary at all given all the facts. But Mr. Miller ignored my objections and kept scheduling court appearances as if he was taking my landlord seriously-- as if he was working for someone other than me. When I asked Mr. Miller yesterday what his plan was for bringing this matter to a speedy conclusion in a way that serves my interests, he quit. A $1500 retainer, and nothing to show for it but Mr. Miller's next ski weekend paid for and another nail in the coffin of my trust of members of the legal profession.
