I had some experience with Sam Himmelstein and Kevin McConnell in 2006-7 when a new owner of our…read morebuilding was trying to evict a group of tenants. They were great. Since then, both Sam Himmelstein and Kevin McConnell have left the firm. Based on my recent experience, standards have collapsed. Several weeks ago, I sent information about a potential claim and agreed to the $400 consultation fee. No response. I've left several inquiries - still no response. Just let me know if the firm isn't interested! This isn't hard - it's simple courtesy! First contacts say everything about what the relationship experience will be like. If this is how the firm treats potential business, how do they treat clients who have "sunk costs?" So disappointing. I'm giving 2 stars simply based on long-ago memories!

David Frazer has been an amazing lawyer and I will be forever grateful for the work that he has…read moredone for me and my case. I started working with him almost exactly two years ago. I have been living in a very special loft in Manhattan; it is a home that I have made into my own sanctuary in the city for over five years. Anyone living in New York knows how hard it is to come by such a unique place. My landlord threatened to not renew my lease for no reason. They threatened to take away my home that means so much to me, a home that I had been paying rent for, for all of this time, like a perfect tenant. Not knowing that I was being overcharged all of that time, among many other violations, were things that I would soon find out with David's help. David successfully won all arguments and proceedings with my landlord's attorneys, and he made me feel safe and secure in my home, and continues to fight for me to get rent stabilization and security going forward. He is thoughtful, honest, straightforward, focused, and knows the real estate laws--specifically loft laws--inside and out. I couldn't have asked for a better representative and person to fight for me and my well-being in my home. I am an Artist and it's a struggle to maintain a life in New York City. But it is because of David Frazer that I am still here. I am forever in his debt and thankful for his time, generosity, and commitment to fighting for me. I highly recommend his services to anyone in a similar situation.

UPDATE: this attorney emailed me multiple times to complain about this review, a responsiveness…read morenotably absent when he was being paid to represent me on an urgent matter. I offered to change the review if he could demonstrate that any aspect of it was not factually accurate. He responded only with petty attempts at insults. I am legally disabled and was forced out of my sublet when the primary tenants entered illegally and claimed to be my roommates on July 6. I was referred to this attorney through ARAG legal insurance. On July 9 at 1:41PM this lawyer informed me via email "The only choice you have is to start an emergency action for illegal access" and agreed to be paid by ARAG to file this on my behalf. He informed me that he would not be able to file until early the following week. That was the last time he took a call from me. That evening I tried to retrieve belongings and the primary tenant tried to have me arrested. I called my lawyer frantic. He never acknowledged the call. I did not receive a draft until July 15, It had multiple omissions including failing to include any exhibits. He told me to make suggested edits but did not provide a document in editable format. I finally generated a Word doc with my suggested edits and asked if any were relevant. His only response was to demand payment for the process server and filing fee without instructions on how to submit payment which I did not receive until July 17. He suggested that I simply enter the apartment to retrieve the belongings, ignoring 1. the police instruction not to try to enter without a police escort and 2. that I am disabled and cannot move belongings without assistance.I asked him what I needed to do to get him to file the document in Court - now 11 days after I was forced out - and he withdrew, telling me to file myself ignoring, again , I AM LEGALLY PHYSICALLY DISABLED and sent me his wholly inadequate OSC draft which did not even have the the defendant's name spelled correctly. He had the option to decline the job on July 9. Instead he strung me along, knowing that I did not have access to Rx medication and other disability aids, for over a week before abandoning my case. I am now locked out, without my medication and other belongings, and have no help with Court. Shameful, unethical, and just cruel conduct
