I live in a Mitchell-Lama Cooperative and contacted Mr Hershey-Webb because I had been treated unfairly by my Coop Board. He went to work quickly and wrote to the Board based on information I gave him, responding promptly to my concerns and to the Board with well-worded, convincing (to me, and apparently to them) letters to support my case. It worked! He was always positive and supportive. I recommend him highly!
Jesse Gribben came highly recommended and I was very satisfied with his handling of my Tenant / Landlord situation. His knowledge and experience is first rate. He is also very personable and easy to talk to. He understood well the situation and his advice was invaluable. His fee structure is very fair and up front. I recommend him whole heartedly.
Serge was a great resource during our lease renewal process. He is incredibly familiar with tenant rights and case law as it relates to rent stabilized tenancy.
We retained this firm to dispute an illegal deregulation and to establish ourselves as rent stabilized tenants. Our lawyer is Ronald Languedoc. We could not be happier with our representation! Ronald is professional, patient, kind and extremely hard working on our behalf. While this firm is not inexpensive they are very fairly priced for the level of expertise, and everything is prorated. Ronald was very generous, rounding down when we went a few minutes over. He has been able to get all the legal fees we have accrued to date reimbursed by the landlord. This is a very nerve wracking process, but having Ronald to defend and guide us has been a lifesaver. I heartily recommend this firm!!
David Hershey Webb lead me through a difficult process with good advice, tough negotiating when necessary, and a cheerful demeanor. I recommend this firm and specifically David, for any tenant related issues.
Sam Himmelstein was my lawyer for a rent stabilized case in which my landlord wanted to evict me after 40 years of living in my apartment. I can’t praise Mr. Himmelstein enough. He explained everything in detail, was professional but sympathetic, and found a way to win a difficult case AND my attorney fees were paid by the landlord. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I get to stay in my apartment and with Mr. Himmelstein on my side, I’m not worried about future harassment. I would highly recommend him for any tenant who needs a great lawyer and advocate on their side!
After attempting to break my apartment lease in midtown Manhattan on my own, I consulted with Sam Himmelstein. He provided me with advice that led to a positive result. He answered all my questions and provided a road map on how to legally break my lease. I’m thankful to Sam and highly recommend contacting this firm if you age any issues with your landlord or management company
I cannot say enough good things about this Law Firm my Lawyer David Hershey-Webb was professional and KIND (rarity these days) not only was it affordable but literally one consult and 3 emails later my case was handled in my favor!! I was blown away! Without going into all the details, this was a case that had me blanketed with anxiety for almost 2 years. I wish I had called them sooner. I would highly recommend Himmelstein, McDonnell, Gribben, Donohue & Jospeh LLP and ask for David Hershey-Webb!
We worked closely with Lorena and Billy for a landlord/tenant matter – and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the team. They were kind, strategic, communicative, intuitive, and made us feel confident in our decisions. Lorena was our main POC with their team, and she was very responsive in all of her communications – and we can really tell that she had our best interest at heart every step of the way. She really was an MVP. We would definitely recommend Himmelstein Gribben & Joseph LLP in any tenant/landlord matters, we we will be using the again in the future for any of our needs.
I had a dispute with my landlord due to an illegal apartment and I had so much hard time getting a legal help. Mr. William Gribben was so kind and extremely helpful. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have known what to do at all. He was very clear in instructing me what I can and can’t do, and he was kind enough to provide me with a consultation. I recommend this law firm 100% to any tenant who is having issues with their landlord. I just wish I contacted them earlier to save myself from all the headaches and sufferings. Thank you!
