Todd L. Baritz

Todd Baritz helped me resolve a property case where a tennant had seriously defaulted on the terms of a "lease to buy" rental agreement ...and tennent had remained on in a more normal Landlord/tennent relationship where I resumed all normal responsibilities for taxes and maintenance of the rental pro...perty..until I gave her "fair notice to move" a number of years later. The tennants reaction to this notice was to stop paying rent and she was suddenly suing ME in court for breach of the original lapsed contract...and claiming legal rights to Title to the house she had been "purchasing" from me. Tennant waged a 2 year campaign with a series of no fewer that 4 different short term "pro bono" lawyers ...Todd winning each and every actual court argument over first the contract breach, then the title rights and finally tennant eviction....until tennant finally agreed to drop further threatened appeals... and to finally leave. My original trusting nature had left me unprepared for such a suprising and frustrating turn of events. Todd was very helpful in advising me and resolving each and every delaying legal tactic and argument which was raised against us in this case. But ultimately, Todd got me safely and sanely through this entire situation. I have never previously been a great fan of Lawyers in general...but Todd taught me that he really was working on my side in a serious and difficult fight...and that time and patience (and a good lawyer) was ultimately necessary to finallly prevail...no matter how solid MY side of the argument really was. I frankly hope to never fall into a situation like that ever again...but i certainly know I would reach out to Todd Baritz.again..if I ever did.

My wife and I sued our landlord to try and recoup losses for an apartment the landlord made it impossible to move in to. Todd did a great job of explaining the legal process to us and was honest about our chances of winning. He kept us informed throughout the process, and eventually advised us to dro...p the case because we would end up spending years in court during the appeals process and probably spend more in fees than we would gain from the lawsuit. Another tenant sued the same landlord about a month after us for the same reasons we had sued. About 2 years after we had dropped our case, Todd called me up to let me know those other tenants were still battling the landlord through the appeals process. Todd's advice to drop our case, while hard to accept, saved us thousands of dollars, and years in hassle and stress. We really appreciated his honesty, communication, and good advice throughout the entire process.
