I hate to write a 1-star review, but I feel it is my duty to share my horrible experience and let…read moreothers be aware of who they are really dealing with. I wish I could say he was at least a nice guy, but I can't -- Matthew Tannenbaum is not a nice guy, and he's a bad lawyer. I honestly can't believe I let him sweet-talk me into being my attorney. I'm an amateur landlord, and I thought hiring an "experienced" eviction lawyer would help me navigate a stressful situation. Instead, he took advantage of me the same way my tenant had been doing for years. From day one, things went downhill after I sent my first retainer installment. Once he got my money, he became almost impossible to reach. Calls were routed through an answering service, and every time I managed to get him on the phone, he rushed me off within 15 minutes -- often sighing, sucking his teeth, and reminding me he "doesn't care" and that it's "my decision what to do." That is not what you want to hear from someone you've just paid thousands of dollars to represent you. After paying him more than $3,000, I expected at least some level of courtesy and communication. Instead, he dismissed me and my family as if we were nothing. He even tried to debate how much I had actually paid him, completely disregarding the thousands I had already given. To make matters worse, his own typographical error on the court application delayed my case by a month, costing me an additional $1,600 in state taxes. And yet, he acted as if he was doing me a favor and had "waived" his fees, when the reality is his mistakes were costing me. Some of the most outrageous moments: Before trial, he told me repeatedly that he "doesn't care what happens" and that "if you don't like it, you can release me and get a new attorney tomorrow." He actually said to me: "Don't be a landlord. It costs a lot of money to be one, so don't do it." I had already paid him thousands, and this was the advice I was getting. He told me to "just leave the guy alone" when I asked about storage, as if I was the aggressor and my tenant -- who was living rent-free in my home -- was the victim. He filed my sheriff's eviction request late (two days after I gave him the fee), which landed on a weekend and then a holiday, gifting my nightmare tenant an extra 3 days in my house to cause damage. Despite me asking, he failed to tell me in advance that I would be responsible for paying the tenant's movers and one month of storage. I only found out days before the eviction, and the bill came to well over $5,000. Ironically, my squatter ended up with a better moving service than I use for myself. He insisted eviction records and credit impacts are "myths," and pushed settlement. But what's the point of an eviction if it doesn't deter horrible tenants? I thought this process would put something on my tenant's record, yet my tenant walked away scot-free while I lost tens of thousands of dollars. And here's where it gets even worse: my tenant actually admitted on video that he personally knew my lawyer, since they worked in the same building. That's not speculation -- that's a fact. Knowing this, it's hard not to question why my lawyer consistently acted in ways that benefited my tenant, even if indirectly. Whether intentional or not, the result was the same: my tenant got to stay in my house longer, cost me more money, and walked away with more than he ever should have. Throughout the entire case, Matthew Tannenbaum gave my tenant every advantage while treating me -- his paying client -- with disrespect and neglect. He was more of a salesman than an advocate. You'll get more useful advice from strangers on Reddit than from him. I have every receipt and proof to corroborate this bad experience. If challenged, I can back up every claim I've made here. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Matthew Tannenbaum at all costs. Save yourself the stress and go with someone who will actually have your back, not your tenant's.

We've worked with The Law Firm of Walsh & Gilad (W&D), formerly The Law Firm of Ryan J. Walsh, and…read moreregret our decision because the firm is unprofessional. They made the home-buying process even more stressful. W&D's lack of communication delayed the process and wasted everyone's time. In the beginning, the firm was there to answer our questions, but things went bad a week in, after our agent worked with W&D directly. Our real estate agent often called and explained "We're waiting on W&D to respond," or "We can't move forward because we're waiting on W&D." As we got further into the home-buying process our loan officer called to complain about the same problem. "W&D is holding up the process," our loan officer explained. After speaking with our loan officer, I asked to see a copy of the emails and to be BCC'd on new emails going forward. I learned W&D did not respond to emails nor returned calls for time-sensitive information. It turns out W&D sat on emails for days before they responded. When we (hubby and I) reached out, W&D blamed the other side for holding up the process. Some of W&D Yelp reviews are not genuine. The firm solicits 5 star reviews and a few reviewers confirmed they were compensated to leave positive remarks after they successfully closed on their home. We missed this at first glance, but if you read the reviews at the bottom of this Yelp page, you will see "61 other reviews that are not currently recommended." Yelp's software (and I hope human moderators), understands the below reviews violate Yelp's terms of service because they were solicited. We learned this by reaching out to some of the reviewers after dealing with W&D. It was an awful experience working with W&D. W&D had a hands-off approach and was loosely in contact with us throughout the process. We wanted professionals who should have worked well with the loan officers, lawyers, and real estate agents. Someone who was there to walk us through the process. Someone who was there to answer questions along the way (our first-time buying in NYC). Unfortunately, W&D didn't meet our expectations set from our previous home-buying experience. Ultimately we didn't get the property, but not because of W&D. The firm kept our deposit and that's fine because the service they provided wasn't worth the full amount. I don't recommend The Law Firm of Walsh & Gilad.
