From start to finish they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication and expertise that made an incredibly complex process feel manageable. What should have been a straightforward closing turned into a lengthy and challenging journey involving estate tax clearance complications, multiple rate lock extensions and board transitions. Throughout every obstacle Maxx was responsive, proactive and always had my best interests at heart. He went above and beyond at every turn, pushing hard when needed and keeping me informed every step of the way. Alexander and his team are not just attorneys -- they are true advocates for their clients. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paykin Law to anyone navigating a real estate transaction in New York. You will be in the very best hands.

I had to evict a tenant who failed to pay rent for months. I spoke with several attorneys before I…read moredecided to hire David. The eviction process is never fun for a landlord, especially in a state that is more friendly to tenants. But I was happy with the result, that I got the eviction warrant in about 6.5 months, even though it was during the holiday season, I was very grateful to get a trial a few days prior to Christmas, and the trial went very well. I got my rental home back about 2 months later, after waiting for the sheriff to put it on schedule, because Long Island has many homes on its list waiting. Glad that everything turned out well, and I made the right choice choosing David.

He is extremely fair, honest, and professional which is a lot when compared to some other people in this field. I had reached out to many lawyers about my landlord issue, and I was dismissed. Paul listened to my case and the details I had, and was able to settle the case in my favor. He is VERY communicative, and quick to respond to any emails. I don't know how he does it! If you need a lawyer you can trust, go to Paul! I look forward to working with him again in the future.

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

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.

Others are posting emails with shocking and unprofessional language. I'll do my best to circle back…read morewith you, as yes there are PR implications here. When you retain a firm, you don't quite know what to expect in terms of response time, bedside manner, level of service, or the results they will produce. My experience was that there was little to no communication. I often drafted emails that received no replies and felt like I was speaking to myself. I requested time to prepare for settlement talks, to be apprised of the current status of my case, and to discuss options before trial. These requests were never answered. In fact, the only reply I received was that they didn't have time to review my emails. When I was able to get them on Zoom, their cameras were kept off. I was cut off and not allowed to speak. I eventually circled back with the Legal Aid office and was told I could simply end my case by handing in my key. I hadn't known that, and I'm concerned because, before trial, they had stated that I could receive first month's rent, last month's rent, and my deposit due to my disability and rights under the ADA. These options simply weren't addressed. Emails were ignored. Heather Ticotin is underpaid and disgruntled. Expect same-day preparation of around five minutes, followed by being threatened if you speak up. More concerningly, I was told that offers had been presented by opposing counsel, which I only learned about afterward. Despite requesting time to prepare for settlement talks, we never met. Meetings weren't offered, and the firm simply didn't reply to emails. When I sent a polite email requesting to switch attorneys within the firm, Joshua Price responded in the same manner others are describing in their reviews: abusive language, silly or frankly drunken replies, and then being ignored. I'll screenshot what I have, but you should also Google the firm and read through the reviews. The firm is unprofessional. I'm confident that if I had followed the free advice I received from Legal Aid, I would have received the roughly $10,000 settlement they had indicated my case was worth. Instead, I decided to ensure a firm secured that outcome, and the experience turned out much worse because my trust was abused. Just use free legal aid unless you're confident you have a valid ADA or other valuable claim. If you're told you have one, then do retain a firm just not this one. Avoid them because they won't investigate these avenues and won't reply to you once the retainer is paid.
