    We recently engaged Elizabeth Donoghue as counsel to represent us in a dispute. Elizabeth picked up our matter quickly and proceeded to guide us expertly and calmly through the process. Throughout our engagement she displayed a human touch by allowing us to express our personal concerns while she remained focused on the development of legal strategy. We are deeply grateful to Elizabeth for her support, and recommend her as highly as possible. Thank you!

    I begin this review by stating that I had never hired a law firm in my life, and was fearful and anxious to do so given my lack of experience in dealing with attorneys. I reached out to this firm with questions regarding succession rights to my family apartment in Manhattan. Jesse Gribben responded to my query and offered me a cost-free consultation that very day. He gave me sound advice with absolutely no pressure to retain his services. Months later, when I was faced with the daunting and anxiety provoking task of submitting my application to management, I outreached Jesse who calmly outlined the process, current laws, and potential outcomes to my case. Having access to this knowledgeable and responsive attorney made it a no-brainer to retain his services. His inside-out understanding and explanation of NYS Real Estate Law was extremely calming and reassuring. Jesse was always available for my many questions, and adeptly handled my application with swift resolution in my favor! I recommend Jesse Gribben without hesitation, as you'd be hard pressed to find a more diligent and responsive attorney.

    David Hershey-Webb was fantastic. So glad I worked with him. He won me much more than I'd even thought was possible at the start of my case, and his fees ended up being tiny by comparison.

    David Hershey-Webb proved to be one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. I've worked with 6 other attorneys and law-firms in Manhattan for residential and commercial real-estate cases plus business needs over the years. I needed assistance resolving an issue with a large NYC residential landlord with their own in-house legal team; Also navigating the new major revisions to ever-changing NYC rental laws. Worth mentioning, all that in addition to understanding the complex NY courts logistics during the Coronavirus pandemic. From my initial phone call with David to closing my case, I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. His most impressive trait was the level of trust he immediately established. I felt like he was on my team and had my back the second he heard my case and felt he legitimately understood my concern. David never made me feel rushed or that he was too busy or my case wasn't big enough, etc. I really appreciated that. David was also knowledgeable of very specific and somewhat obscure laws pertaining to my case and more importantly how to apply them. I highly recommend the services of David and the team at Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph LLP.

Firm Information

Overview

Himmelstein Gribben & Joseph LLP is a law firm in New York, New York. We focus our practice on tenant’s rights, commercial tenants, co-op and condos, and real estate matters. In cases involving evictions, rent increases/overcharges, succession and other related matters, we fight for the rights of business tenants, individual renters, cooperative shareholders, condominium unit owners and tenant organizations.

Disputes between commercial landlords and their tenants can arise over a variety of issues, including but not limited to rent hikes, lease breaches, eviction and notices to cure. It is not wise to try to manage these things while also running a business on your own.

When your livelihood is at stake in a commercial real estate dispute, it is imperative that you work with attorneys who are both skilled and experienced. While you focus on running your business, we can handle your case to alleviate the stress and pressure you're under.

You require the assistance of knowledgeable and skilled lawyers when you face danger to your residence or place of business. A caring legal team with a history of successfully representing clients like you is essential. As a law practice, our dedication to protecting tenants is unparalleled.

You should only deal with a trustworthy attorney in New York City when purchasing or selling a home or apartment. We are cognizant of the fact that this deal might rank among the most substantial purchases you ever make. With in-depth familiarity with the real estate market in New York and relevant laws, our law practice brings together decades of experience.

When it comes to real estate, whether it's a house, condo or co-op, let us handle the details so you can relax. Rather than dealing with a single attorney, when you hire our firm, you will have access to a group of highly experienced professionals. Contact us right away!
