Why locally based matters
Brooklyn-based attorneys appearing in Manhattan.
Manhattan generates the highest commercial-court and HPD-violation volume in NYC. Our Brooklyn-based attorneys appear regularly at 111 Centre Street (Civil + Housing Court) and at the Manhattan-anchored DOB and HPD service centers. For Manhattan-based property owners, commercial tenants, and co-op/condo boards, we handle matters from filing through trial without referring out to a Manhattan-only firm.
