Whitney D. Ackerman

Whitney Ackerman and Shuki Greer are extraordinary lawyers and human beings. They are extremely knowledgeable about landlord/tenant laws and their personalities are perfect for attorneys; they are firm and professional with opposing counsel and parties, and kind, patient, and understanding with clien...ts. They responded quickly and clearly to my emails, texts, calls and questions. They truly seemed to care about me as a person and the effect the resolution of the lawsuit would have on me, and they unselfishly resolved the matter in my best interests. I highly recommend them both individually and as a superb team.

We hired another attorney from Mr Ackerman's firm to represent us (a family) in a suit against a large corporation. When that attorney took paternity leave Mr Ackerman and his team took over representing us. They were barely communicative at all. When I appeared at the courthouse for jury duty I requ...ested the court provide us with all documents related to the case. One of those documents appeared to be missing a page. After more than a week of trying to reach Mr Ackerman's team about it, I finally got to speak w Mr Ackerman by phone to ask him if the missing page was an error or if perhaps it had been filed separately. Instead of answering my question Mr Ackerman began to lecture me about "calling me about every single document I file" (even though I had never contacted him about such a thing before) and worked himself into frenzy, barely allowing me to speak. He told me that he thought we should end our working relationship. Yes. You read all of that right. My wife and I never treated Mr Ackerman with anything but the utmost professionalism and respect. I asked one (1) question and he blew up, leaving us in an even worse position than we were before we hired him...without representation in the middle of a case against a massive corporate landlord...in the middle of the holidays. Merry Christmas.

One year ago, I was the victim of a brutal assault, due to the neglect by the landlord, to maintain the safety of his tenants. I needed a law firm whose expertise covers criminal, civil, and landlord/tenant law; and fortunately… I was referred to the law firm of Whitney D. Ackerman. Whitney quickly... accessed the information I sent to him ; and wasted no time building a case - along with his two associates: Shuki Greer and Jason Ingebar. After the horrific experience I went through - my legal team always made made sure, that I knew how much my case mattered to them. Their work was exceptionally thorough; and their genuine kindness and generosity - supported me through a legal process I had no prior experience with. Moreover, I’m very happy with the settlement, which was recently negotiated by Whitney and Shuki. You’ll have my heartfelt gratitude always!

Whitney and his colleagues at Metis Law Group are exemplary stewards of the law. When I was searching for a proper lawyer, I was unfamiliar with the process of taking legal action. Whitney explained the situation to me at every juncture and provided transparent reports to me. He never once evaded my ...correspondence. He operates swiftly and precisely to find solutions. He has a hunger to fight injustice and it took a lot of pressure off my back. He took control of a situation that frayed my nerves and caused a great deal of chaos for me. I am very greatful for Whitney and his team at Metis Law Group. If you are in need of a tireless, calculating and trustworthy fighter, Whitney is your guy. Even before he won my case for me, I slept better knowing that there was someone who relished fighting for good people.
