Retaliatory Eviction

I hired Mr. Miller to help me with what I believed to be a retaliatory eviction from my landlord. After exercising my rights as a tenant and abiding by the NYS laws in regard to a bed bug infestation my landlord served me with a Petition of Eviction. Mr. Miller and his team of experts were very profe...ssional, informative and patient during this difficult time in my life. They are up to date on the most recent tenant rights & laws and were very realistic with the potential outcomes with my case. I really appreciate the honesty, transparency, communication, and civility of Mr. Miller's work ethic. I will definitely recommend his services to anyone I know who needs it and without hesitation, I would hire Mr. Miller if I am in this unfortunate predicament again. My family and I are eternally grateful to Mr. Miller's firm. Thank you so much.

Landlord tenant court - tenant eviction

Home owner 3 family home, had several long term tenants for over 40 years. Never had an issue until I was trying to sell my home. Scott made it clear at all times what was going on what should be expected. What could happen, games plans based on those outcomes. I feel the cost were fair and... just and honestly I felt better giving the money to him then my tenant. I leaned a lot from him and will be doing work with him again in the future with any prospective tenant from the start instead of waiting and trying to sort this out myself. I wasted 5 months trying to handle this on my own.

Robert this was definitely a tough case. Evicting an elderly tenant (who in this case was 90 years old) always presents challenges which do not exist in other cases. The Court seeks to protect those that need protection while at the same time permitting an owner to recover possession of their property. It ended well, with the elderly tenant securing alternate housing and you getting your property back.

I am the Landlord

I hired Scott Miller twice for eviction of my holdover Tenant from my Property. My Tenant did not want to vacate my Property, which i wanted to sell. Scott did the excellent job and evicted my Tenant for 2 moths after the 30 days notice to Tenant. I was able to sell my Property and hired Scott Mill...er for the Closing my deal. I was very much satisfied and recommend Scottt Miller for everybody who has Lanlord -Tenant Cases.

When we could trust no one, Scott won our trust followed by our case

After being good tenants for years, my family and I were suddenly being kicked out on the street by our landlord. In a state of disbelief, I contacted lawyer after lawyer but it was Scott who not only empowered us with our rights, not only told us we may have a potential settlement, but most importan...tly Scott helped return a state of calm back to my family. We literally went to Disney World and left everything to Scott. He handled everything and we are very satisfied with the outcome.

Thank you Adem for this excellent review. New York City tenants have legal rights and my office will continue to assist Tenants in using the court system to benefit from those legal rights!

Landlord and tenant

I had a tenant that lived in my basement for more than a year without paying rent. I could not get rid of him, he used my water my electricity etc ( I live in a privet house) I hired a lawyer, went to court two times unsuccessfully. That lawyer COULD NOT help me to get him out of my basement. ...After the second court was dismissed, I thought that there is no-one that can help me and that my tenant will live with me for the rest of his life. Just then my brother gave me Scott Miller's number and suggested to try him. I met Scott Miller at the end of May today is the end of September and I am very happy to say that my disturbing tenant is out of my house thanks to Scott. He is very professional, organized, he will give you all of his attention and will make sure to get IT done. He is excellent Lawyer and a good person. I will strongly recommend him for all your Landlord and Tenant needs!!
