MY STORY: I am an attorney (top of my AM25 law school class, editor of Law Review and worked at one…read moreof the largest corporate law firms in the world.) As a result, I was VERY discerning about who I would hire to represent me in a complicated rent stabilization case with a messy backstory. Meryl came strongly recommended from a mutual friend, who is a highly-respected and recently-retired housing court judge. From my first meeting, I was struck by how knowledgeable, direct, and confident she was; she recited intricacies in the law from when my apartment first dated decades ago that only a highly-skilled attorney would know. Her knowledge and experience put me at ease and let me know I was in incredibly capable hands. As a result, I had 100% trust in Meryl, and she delivered in spades. She achieved a result that delivered everything I had hoped for and more - far exceeding my expectations. Meryl is the kind of attorney you want in your corner; she's been through the fire. She fought hard and gave me realistic expectations every step of the way. She handled everything so smoothly, easing my concerns along the way. If you're facing a tough case in New York City housing court, Meryl Wenig is exactly who you want because she delivers results. She is a fierce, no-nonsense attorney with decades of experience in landlord-tenant law, and she's known for being both deeply knowledgeable and a zealous advocate. That is exactly who I needed. I didn't hire Meryl for hand-holding; I hired her to fight. BELOW REVIEW: Below (in reverse chronological order) is a review from someone who seemingly had a difficult case and didn't get the outcome for which they hoped. Ironically, however, what they criticize about Meryl actually reinforces what I respect most about her: * They mention that Meryl was confident in her legal knowledge. That's exactly why so many clients trust her. She knows the law inside and out, and she doesn't sugarcoat it. She gives you her expert opinion based on experience and not false hope. * They were frustrated when the case was passed to other attorneys. That's what firms do, especially with complex, multi-year cases. Meryl runs a busy practice and delegates to a team, as any seasoned litigator and law firm partner must. It's not a flaw. It's how high-performing legal teams operate. * They were upset that Meryl wasn't always personally available. I get it. But emergencies happen, and jury duty isn't optional. What matters is whether the firm continued representing the client and made a good-faith effort to advocate for them. There's no indication Meryl abandoned the case, only that life happened and the client felt frustrated. * They claim to have negotiated a better outcome on their own. Great, but that also suggests the client had some agency, which contradicts the idea they were helplessly "ruined" by the firm. Settlement outcomes are messy, and no attorney can guarantee a win, especially in NYC housing court. At the end of the day, litigation is hard. Landlord-tenant disputes are emotional and draining. So, if you want an attorney who knows how to navigate the system, who's confident under pressure, and who won't back down from a fight, you want Meryl to represent you. She's tough. She's battle-tested. And in this city, that's exactly what wins cases

Meril Wenig is sharp, fearless, and truly committed to her clients. I came to her with a complex…read morelockout case involving a property I had just purchased, and she quickly took control of the situation, walked me through the legal risks, and represented me in Housing Court. The other party was aggressive and trying to claim tenancy without any lease or legal right -- but Meril and her team pushed back hard, navigated the court, and helped me reach a resolution that protected my property and allowed me to move forward. She genuinely understood how high the stakes were for me financially and emotionally. Her courtroom presence was strong, and her strategy gave me the upper hand. If you're a landlord or buyer caught in NYC's tenant-heavy system, you want Meril on your side. She saved me time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
