Good afternoon all,

I'm looking for a referral to an experienced New York City residential landlord-tenant attorney, or a trusted tenant-side legal services organization with Brooklyn Housing Court experience, for an individual in my network.

What I understand from their account, to be verified on representing counsel's intake: 
  • They are a subtenant under a written sublease and received a Housing Court notice with an upcoming court date.
  • The matter appears to involve a nonpayment proceeding connected to the tenant of record.
  • Subtenant reports paying rent under the sublease and say they have records supporting those payments.
  • Subtenant is seeking to protect their position, coordinate a move to a new residence, and may have a separate monetary dispute with the tenant.
Time is of the essence because of the upcoming court date. If you practice in this area, or know someone who does and is taking new matters, please message me privately so we do not overload everyone’s inboxes.

A reduced-fee arrangement or legal-services referral would be appreciated, but is not required.

Thanks in advance,

Justin
