Exceptional lawyers and human beings

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.

Call them lions instead of lawyers

I don’t even know where to begin with how highly I recommend Whitney Ackerman and Shuki Greer. When I first reached out to them it was an extremely traumatic time, we were being forced to leave our place of residency and being subjected to a very dangerous and toxic living situation. We were looking ...for someone to trust and help us know our rights, but these two men became more like our lions than our lawyers. They took the burden of the fight off of our shoulders, were patient and understanding about the emotional toll the experience had taken on us, and got us what we deserved. No matter how long the case took or how exhaustive it was they NEVER lost their fire to fight for us, for what was right, and absolutely refused to back down. We are forever grateful for their strength, clarity, and dedication.

The BEST Lawyer!!!

There are not enough good words to say about this amazing attorney!!I retained Mr. Ackerman as my attorney around this me last year. It was the BEST Christmas present that I ever gave to myself!! Mr. Ackerman represented me for both an illegal evicon filed against me by my landlord, and a harassmen...t suit filed against my landlord by me. Off the top of his head he knew every law, ordinance, statute, policy, etc., that would be conducive to a positive outcome for me! He is intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable, precise and thorough. He is like a lion protecting a cub. He had my best interests at heart. He guided me through every step of the process, from signing documents to meeng deadlines to considering settlement offers. He never grew weary. Mr. Ackerman stayed in constant contact with me. He answered pretty much every phone call. If he was in a meeting or in court, he would text me to tell me the approximate me that he would call me back. He replied to emails expeditiously. He even called and emailed after hours and on weekends! To say that Mr. Ackerman is the lawyer of all lawyers would be, and is an understatement. Although I hope to never have an issue with a landlord again, I feel secure in knowing that Mr. Ackerman is just a phone call away!

My Eviction Case

I am a disabled woman who was being evicted, harassed, and retaliated against by my landlord who has been renting me an illegal unit for over 2 years. This whole situation has been such a horrible nightmare for me, but Mr.Ackerman took care of everything, and has left me with great ease. I didn’t hav...e to do a thing! He did all the work and won my case! I am so truly grateful to him, he is the absolute best!!!

Victory!

Mr Ackerman was referred to me to assist with my UD case. I must say I am very pleased with his approach and the outcome. He was clear,concise and direct to the point. He did not feed me false hope and helped me understand exactly what I was looking at concerning my case and the tough choices I neede...d to make. If you want a lawyer who gets the job done and fights for what you want, then Mr Ackerman is the man you want in your corner.
