Calling Jay was a smart move. I had run into a number of hurdles closing out my late mother's small estate. Jay was able to get everything settled so we could claim her accounts from the bank.
Jay is an absolutely adept attorney and we could not have been happier with his counsel. We hired Jay to represent us in a dispute with our landlord where we felt like we were being taken advantage and wrongfully being blamed for issues that were not our doing. From a simple first email and phone conversation, Jay clearly understood that there was no legal basis for our landlord’s claims. Jay went above and beyond and handled all tough conversations with the landlord and his representative patiently. He kept us informed of the progress constantly, advocated for our mental well-being, de-stressed the situation for us, and never wavered from doing the absolute best for us. His advise helped us get out of a toxic living situation into a better place. Finally, when the landlord insisted to withhold all our security deposit to pay for damages we did not cause and other irrelevant things, Jay filed a motion in court to get us what we rightfully deserved. He stood up to the landlord’s attorneys and made them realize that there was no legal bases for all their claims. In the end, we got a vert nice settlement that made up for all the troubles. Without Jay on our side, we would have undergone a lot more mental anguish and our Landlord would have forced us to pay for things we were not responsible. We highly recommend Jay to anybody out there seeking a advocate who stands for a client’s best interests. Thank you Jay!

Amazing Lawyer
Jay did an amazing job dealing with a recent land contract issue without hesitation. Lots of issues with the ex-landlord and he quickly resolved it in my favor. Will be using him again.

I highly recommend using Jay D. Mukerji at Arbor Law for your civil lawsuits. Working with Attorney Mukerji was such a great experience. Not only was he very personable and very attentive to my personal concerns and needs , he also was able to get a default money judgment against me reopened and dismissed in the first hearing.

Easy Win
Jay sent a demand letter to get me out of lease from a landlord who promised the apartment in August and it was November and still no place to live. Their attorney agreed and problem was resolved in less than a month.
Great job at a very reasonable price. Kept me updated and pretty confident he was going to win.

Jay is incredible! I highly recommend hiring him.
Jay is amazing!! I was having issues with my landlord regarding a water issue. When I threatened to break my lease, my landlord started harassing me so I called Jay and asked him to represent me. Not only did Jay get me out of my situation, but he made it seem so effortless and lifted all the stress off my shoulders so I could focus on finding a new place.
What I appreciated the most was that Jay was always available to talk, very transparent about what was going to happen and did not move forward with anything until he communicated his thoughts to me first. I'd 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer!

Business Law
Jay helped me with a very messy situation I was in over my head on. He was able to explain everything to me very quickly, making me feel much better. The time estimate he gave me for resolution was exactly what he ended up billing me. I would have no problem paying for his assistance even if the outcome had not gone in my favor, but the outcome was much better than either of us expected. Just fantastic.

Jay is the most trustful attorney
I had bad luck with the horrible tenant; however, I have had good luck that I hired Jay as my Attorney. He helped me so much. He is so hardworking that I saw some emails and documents were sent at 2 AM. Jay is very responsive and reliable, and he is the one person I can always trust for sincere advice and direction.

5 stars is an understatement
Hired Jay to establish my LLC and we've done a lot more business beyond that. Has gone above and beyond especially accommodating me and my limited time and crazy schedule. He will be the first attorney I would recommend all the way around the board.

Mr. Mukerji handled all the details of my case despite different complications in the process beyond both our control. He was easy to get a hold of, and has been incredibly helpful in explaining the system during the whole process - and he should have charged me far more than he did!

Great representation!
Absolutely the best experience I've had to this day with legal representation. He was very proactive and vocally involved with my case, always making me feel like a priority. I can depend on a call even if I get too busy to remember, which is always helpful. I was able to settle my case immediately with a favorable outcome and never felt left out or in the dark about any information pertaining to the arrangement. Definitely worth every dime and I would highly recommend anyone with a legal matter to put him at the top of the list of contacts.

Great Experience
I recommend Jay D. Mukerji because he's responsive, direct, and quick. He successfully negotiated and reduced the debt that I had with a landlord during the pandemic. I saved thousands of dollars and avoided going into collections because of his advice and expertise. He was also very compassionate and understanding of my situation and helped me wager a debt of 28k to 4k. Overall, he was an excellent attorney!

Outstanding Legal Support for My Small Business
Mr. Mukerji provides sound legal advice and professional services in support of my employment business for very reasonable rates. His guidance, calm demeanor and level headed approach recently helped to avoid escalation of a difficult situation with a former employee. Jay is professional and responsive and has the knowledge to help any small or mid-sized business with their legal needs.

Wonderful attorney to work with.
Jay was easy to work with and helped me through my issues quickly and efficiently. Communication was easy and effective--Jay would answer any questions I had, whether they be in person, over the phone or by email. He knew exactly how to help, assured me of legal rights, and put me in a position of confidence. I would highly recommend Jay for any landlord/tenant legal issues!

Comprehensive expertise, personalized service!
Arbor Law provided me with professional, detailed, and personalized service at a fair cost. They helped me through some difficult business decisions that could have had significant legal repercussions if not handled correctly. Jay's extensive knowledge of current law combined with an asymmetric approach to case navigation makes the firm a force to be reckoned with.

Genuine Human
Jay is a great guy. I've never worked with a lawyer before and was skeptical of being taken advantage of someone out for the money and not for the cause. My brother and I had to settle my fathers accounts after his passing- an already large heartache and stressor on our shoulders. Jay looked into resources available to us and gave us a custom line of direction in handling our business. Most importantly, as a young adult and college student, I felt Jay had my back both in care of my family and financially. He had our best interests in mind. I will be working with him more if I need any more help. Otherwise, he got us on the right track.
