If you find yourself in the unenviable position of dealing with a landlord who thinks they can bully you simply because you've gone out of your way to make concessions to avoid a conflict, it may be time to retain the Rozen Law Group. In my case, I waited too long to retain the firm, and positions were already too entrenched to quickly and inexpensively resolve. But without unnecessarily inflating my legal fees, Ms. Rozen persevered, balancing the necessary resolve with the right touch of congenial flexibility that eventually led to a resolution that, while unsatisfying, avoided the worse outcome of having to sustain the costs of multiple different trials. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the Rozen Law Group if you are willing to go the distance when necessary, while at the same time willing to accept a less than perfect settlement when the time and terms are acceptable. read more

Extremely Expensive. $4,500 up front. $450 an hour. Even if she is just waiting. There are always 30 or more cases every session. She is knowledgeable and articulate. She has a deal of $450 to evaluate your case. She read everything. And did an excellent job. I recommend paying her for the one hour. read more

Jen is concise and very articulate in helping me understand my rights and my case. Got the clarity I needed.

BEWARE. As you can see by hasty damage control below lawyers are very good communicators-- outcomes are not guaranteed I am not only talking about the things in the Atty's control: using AI* not responding to emails & abrogating implied/express contract. Did not get what I paid for. Stereotypical lawyer that makes everything sound good at $500/HR Ms Rozen idea of negotiating was hearing the answer no. Overcharged me for administrative matters after she personally requested that I contact her instead of her assistant. I sent an email which she did not return for eight days which materially damaged my case. When I complained only over her, not responding for eight days, she resigned. *It is my belief that Ms Rozen writes her OSC's and other official docs with AI. *that is only my belief. I can draw up an OSC with AI. It takes five minutes and does not cost upwards of $3000. 5* up rating you have 10-20% chance of getting ripped off. read more

I highly recommend Jennifer Rozen and her legal staff in regard to tenant landlord issues. Jennifer and her team are true professionals and committed to represent you with your case. She dedicates her time listening to your concerns and responds timely. In addition, her partner, Orlando and paralegal, Michael, makes themselves available to answer any inquiries you may have. I will never hesitate recommending Jennifer and her team. They are very best in helping you with your case. Thank you for all you did in helping me resolve my situation - John B. read more

Thanks to Rozen Law Group, I was able to countersue my former building's management (they claimed I owed multiple months rent due to their poor record keeping). Long story short, it took some time, but we settled out of court, and I was extremely happy with the result. All of the folks at Rozen were incredibly knowledgeable, patient (I had A LOT of questions), kind, and really went to work for me. They stand by tenants and work hard to right some of the wrongs in the world. As a note, I've referred many people to them and everyone has only the best things to say! read more

I highly recommend Rozen Law Group. The small, old, rent-stabilized Manhattan building I've lived in for almost 30 years was bought by a private equity firm (a.k.a. predatory equity) 5 years ago. I've used Rozen Law Group 3 times since. I worked with Jennifer all 3 times. Twice for her to review lease renewals (as the landlord was notorious for shady tactics to get rent stabilized tenants out.) The most recent time I engaged her was a lengthy demoralizing and traumatic experience for me in my apartment. Under her representation the outcome was miraculously favorable for me. I say miraculously because it caused me to be very low - I had given up hope on the livability of my apartment and I had no where else to live. Everything is OK now though. I chose this firm over a few others I had spoken to when I was shopping around for one because Jen and her paralegal Mike seemed like genuine, decent people compared to other firms. And, they continued to be of course. I know a few other tenants who have used this firm all in similar situations to mine and they're pleased too. Considering the state of a real estate industry in which your average law-abiding, tax-paying rent-stabilized tenant has to proactively watch their back, I'm sure I'll be using her again at some point in the future. read more

I spoke to Mike when I had some urgent questions about the roommate law (New York Law: RPL 235-f). It was not a consulting session and was free of charge after I visited the website and had a short live chat with someone. The person on the other end of the chat said that the lawyer who could answer my question wasn't available, but that they would have them reach out to me the next day. The reached out, set up a time to talk, and answered all my questions! So incredibly helpful! If I'm ever in need of representation, I will absolutely be reaching out to Rozen Law Group. Thank you again! read more

I have no words to thank Jen and Mike for helping me out in a very stressful situation with my-now-former landlady. Jen was recommended by a friend of mine who is also a lawyer and said she is "the best lawyer you can possibly find." At first, I had a hard time believing that. See, I had a complicated situation as my landlady was demanding more money right after she fixed our hot water and shortly after the incident, I had to leave for a 2-month stay abroad. During this time, I emailed with Jen regularly and even though I would normally feel like a wreck being out of the country with my stuff (and cat) inside my apartment, Jen followed-up immediately and made me feel safe; any communication I received from the landlady, I reported it to Jen and within a day Jen would respond, it was incredible! It is very rare to find this level of commitment and responsiveness and as a result I was able to relax somewhat during my stay abroad. When I returned, my living situation was uncomfortable again, so Jen followed up with my landlady's lawyer many times and was able to give me the result I had been seeking in such an efficient and prompt way within days. If you are also dealing with a greedy landlady/landlord, and if you want an attorney who has your back, is responsive and trustworthy, look no further. I have already recommended Jen to one friend, and I will continue to suggest her to anyone needing solid legal advice. I had no prior knowledge of my rights as a tenant, in fact, I remember during our first call I was really nervous, but Jen and Mike will make you feel safe and understood and right now if there is one thing all New Yorkers need in this high-rent frenzy is access to knowledge, knowledge of tenants' rights. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to stand up to injustice and for giving me peace of mind; had I not found you I would probably continue to live in a hellish situation. I will be eternally grateful for everything you did and there should be more practitioners in the legal system with such integrity and thoughtfulness. read more

Rozen Law Group was recommended by someone in the Property Management Field. I gave them a call briefly and explained my situation with my landlord I spoke with Jennifer, and she quickly sent the new client paperwork along with payment options. I sent my payment for the initial consultation. After finally getting back to me, we spoke 10 minutes, and I was charged $ 200.00. I never heard back from Jennifer Rozen or her assistant Mike Ward. After many calls and emails asking them to contact me with what should be my next step or even to tell mecthey won'ttake my case but nothing. They received my paperwork showing the problem, I finally gave up, and I really felt used, taken advantage of. I'm just a person who needs help. Now, my trust with lawyers is gone. Ms. ROZEN AND MR.WARD basically stole money from a scared client who told them I had retainer money, but I guess they felt I wasn't worthy of their time. Be careful future possible clients. They took my money and did nothing. Shame on them. Robert I. read more

Jennifer Rozen represented a group of 14 tenants/apts with a claim against our landlord. I was one of these tenants. She was very diligent in collecting information from us and wanted us all to prove our information was correct. Then after 6 years of her skillful and knowledgeable litigation (writing and answering legal motions to prove to Judge they should rule in our favor), she reached a settlement with landlord. She insured our settlement was read into court records, before a Judge. Landlord then changed law firms and new law firm took another two years attempting to throw out this settlement. She insured our settlement stood firm. Meanwhile, a third law firm for landlord, twice attached to my apartment door, papers telling me to vacate my apartment. Jennifer Rozen told me to file paperwork with DHCR; and she wrote a letter to that law firm. Result is that I keep this apartment. Throughout these eight years of litigation to win our claim against landlord, Jennifer Rozen did excellent work. She is very impressive and diligent. I was very glad to follow her guidelines through our eight years of litigation. read more

6 STARS!!! Having just settled a case with my landlord (arising from a short-term rental situation), the Rozen Law Group was the saving grace that got me though it. She came highly recommended via another lawyer/friend-- and I am beyond thankful for that referral. Her specialization with landlord/tenant cases was the experience I needed to navigate this sticky situation. Since I've never had to deal with any legal situation like this before, her confidence & experience (and let's not forget her awesome personality) gave me the comfort to know that I was dealing with everything the right way. She and her team were so responsive and professional through every step, so I got an immediate sense that I was in good hands. If you need an attorney for any housing needs, do not hesitate to reach out-- they are the best! I can't say enough how thankful I am for her!! read more

Going to Jennifer Rozen for my Tenant Attorney certainly made the best of a terrible situation. Long story short, I had to break my lease and move out without giving notice to my negligent landlord. It's a terrifying position to be in, but the Rozen Group made it much easier. Ms Rozen, and her paralegal Mike were never more than an email away. I even sent an email as an afterthought at 10:30 on a Thursday night once, and got a reply 30 minutes later. Ms Rozen will work hard for you. She and her team seem very dedicated to helping people out of their bad situations, and it's great to feel like someone who knows what they're doing is behind the wheel. I hope you never need an attorney to take care of an issue like this, but if you do, go to Rozen Law Group. I don't think you'll be disappointed read more

My partner and I were in an awful back and forth with our landlord for months over a safety concern in our apartment. After one conversation with Jen, we were able to quickly have our landlord release us from the lease. Jen was so knowledgeable, clear, and supportive. We feel so relieved and can finally move on with our lives. Thank you, Jen!!!! read more

Worked with Jen and her team on a complicated matter involving improper conversion of a property. Jen was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and dedicated from beginning to end. She delivered the desired result, and did so in a timely manner. I would highly recommend! read more

The Rozen Law Group is a highly professional firm and came well-recommended by another attorney for my landlord/Co-op litigation. I primarily dealt with founding attorney Jennifer Rozen. I found her to be organized/efficient, steady/persistent, kind/empathic and calm/stable. I also appreciated her personal confidence and encouragement through a long and complex case. I highly recommend her firm. Stephen read more

Amazing and helpful lawyers! We highly recommend this team. We were very stressed about out case and they took the time to review everything in detail and solved our issue in a timely and professional manner. We will definitely use them again in the future if ever needed. Thanks so much for being such great and helpful people! read more

Jennifer assisted us with lack of gas in our apartment. With her assistance, we negotiated a favorable rent abatement. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. Further, Jennifer and Mike were a pleasure to work with, and helped us navigate the process while proactively looking for ways for us to save on fees throughout. I would strongly recommend Rozen Law Group to anyone having difficulty with their landlord. read more

Jennifer is amazing! She helped us rapidly and efficiently cut through the insanity and nastiness of our rental building's management company. After hiring Jennifer, we could sleep soundly again! read more

I recently hired Jennifer to help me negotiate a commercial lease. Truly the process could not have gone more smoothly. Jennifer and her paralegal Mike were very responsive. We had a short deadline for reviewing the lease and Jennifer got it done with no problem and no stress! She was able to negotiate several major changes to the lease that will serve me well in the years ahead. Also I found her rates to be very reasonable compared with others out there. Thank you Jennifer! read more

We hired Jennifer and her group to assist us with an issue we were having with our landlord. As tenants renting from a very large organization, we felt that we needed a strong advocate on our side to get their attention. We were right and Jennifer was the right partner!! Rozen Law Group communicated with us effectively, fought for us, and most importantly was able to achieve an extremely favorable outcome for us. I am confident that we would not have fared so well if it wasn't for them. I recommend them without hesitation. read more

Jennifer is a rockstar. We had issues with our deposited being returned. She jumped in, provided strategic guidance, and a masterful execution to get us our full deposit plus interest back. This was money we thought it was lost as the landlord was being unreasonable. I would recommend Jennifer any day and everyday. read more

What a pleasure to work with such a personable and hardworking attorney and her team...FIVE STARS!!!

When I was negotiating my lease for a new office space, I was surprised to hear that the management wanted the lease returned within 5 days. Jennifer Rozen is experienced, very professional and quickly identified the items that needed adjusting. She offered sound advice and suggested reasonable changes that were accepted well by the property management. In just 2 days I had a well-negotiated lease, which is especially important during the current pandemic. I highly recommend her services! read more

The initial meeting with Jen Rozen immediately took the stress and fear out of the pit of my stomach. Her legal knowledge and experience, warmth and sense of humour reassured me that I was meeting with a consummate professional and all round good person. As a tenant, I was used to feeling powerless but that all changed when Jen took on our case. We finally had a lawyer who knew the ropes and was relentless in her pursuit of a positive outcome for the tenants she represented. Jen, Mike and Karishma are an excellent team. Not only are they capable and intelligent people but they have an ethical approach to their work and their clients. I would recommend them without hesitation if you have housing issues and a landlord who refuses to do anything about them or who may be putting your health and safety in danger. This law firm will go above and beyond for you. read more

I was told my 2 other attorneys that I did not have a case until I met Jennifer...and guess what...I did have a case! My situation was bitter/sweet; bitter because I had to leave my apartment, sweet because I received compensation...thanks to Jennifer and her wonderful team! Mike is the absolute best!!! Please use them...professional, knowledgeable, patient...the best! read more

I was new to NYC and did not have clue about rent stabilization laws or my rights as a tenant. Not only did Jennifer represent me with a rent stabilization issue, but she also helped me understand every step along the way and how I could advocate for myself moving forward. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable. I have recommended Jennifer to friends and family and will continue to do so! read more

Attorney Rozen successfully helped me secure my parent's rent controlled apartment for my handicapped brother. She is a lovely, capable, compassionate, and professional attorney. We couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend her and would use her again in a second should I have any other legal issues revolving around real estate matters. read more
