would never recommend this lawyer. I really don't understand how others do when all she does is…read moreovercharge her clients. She rarely returns calls and has unreasonable fees. For example, a simple two-second phone call reminding you of a court date--something you didn't even request--costs $50. An email is $150, and sending an email on your behalf is $250. Her hourly rate is $600, and she charges $600 for travel and $60 to $100 for parking. To review her own file before going to court costs $400. The basic things for any lawyer to do is meet with their client before any hearing she does not even though she did not see or hear from the person for over 6 months. How can you speak for that person? And turn around charge the person $4500 for that 30 minutes court hearing? If that is not scam I really do not know what is . For her to show up for a hearing, it could cost you between $3,000 and $4,000. She seems indifferent to her clients, focusing only on dragging out cases. Whenever the opposing side makes requests, she does not advocate for her clients; she allows things to drag on unnecessarily. A friend of mine hired her, and she completely ruined them. They had to file for bankruptcy, and the other side won everything. She lied to them throughout the hearing and essentially sold them out to the opposing side. If you are currently represented by her, I urge you to leave; it will not get better, and you may face serious consequences. Her retainer fee is $5,000, which quickly disappears in charges. It's a shame to see how divorce court allows people like her to exploit vulnerable individuals. She was even late for court once, and when the person called to check on her arrival, they were charged $160 for that brief phone call. A case that should take three months to a year took over four years. For a trial, she charges over $12000 for just that one day. Ultimately, the individual lost everything and is now homeless. I will go on every platform and expose this person. She should not allowed to scam and misleading people like that.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Altagracia and her team. From our very…read morefirst consultation, she was attentive and empathetic toward our situation, taking the time to truly understand the stress we were under. She strategized with us about our options, clearly outlining the potential costs and risks of pursuing our case so we could make informed decisions from the start. We were even given a recording of the consultation to refer back to later. That thoughtful extra step was invaluable and should be standard practice if it isn't already. This was our first time hiring a lawyer for anything, and we learned a great deal through the process. The office was completely transparent about billable hours and how charges were applied to our retainers, which gave us peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and the little touches made a big difference -- being able to text our attorneys, receiving a call whenever something needed clarification, and even seeing the friendly portraits of the admin team in email replies. It made every interaction feel personal, and I truly appreciated putting a face to the name of the person helping me. They guided us through a very stressful dispute with our landlord, and we felt confident they would secure a settlement in our favor which they did. Altagracia was thorough, detail-oriented, and unwavering in her support as we navigated litigation against our unsavory landlord. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to get out of a 2-year lease without any financial penalties -- something we could never have accomplished on our own. For those who have never hired an attorney before, the cost may feel daunting at first -- but her services are truly worth every penny for the professionalism, skill, and peace of mind she provides. She keeps her clients' long-term goals in focus, giving practical, realistic advice when pursuing "full justice" might not be the most sensible option given the time, cost, and uncertainty of court proceedings. If we ever need a tenant/landlord attorney again, Outerbridge Law will be our first call. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in these matters. Our sincerest gratitude to Altagracia, Charles, Suchita, Heleina, John, and the rest of the Outerbridge team for their support and guidance. -- Rachel & Hector

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.

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

This…read morehappened on multiple occasions and the judge even openly said he was annoyed with our lawyer. We had to flag her down in a different court room because she wasn't around in our court room when the judge called. Other lawyers in the court building carried papers containing details of their cases. Ms. Scheiber didn't know the details of our case while representing us. The judge even commented on this and wondered why our lawyer didn't seem to know significant details of our case. She would walk into the court room with her hands empty, going from court room to court room in this manner, "representing" multiple clients at the same time. She clearly did minimal work in her legal services. Outside the court room she even said it didn't matter to her which side won while speaking with the opposite side. It's all the same to Ms. Scheiber how the case turned out. When asked about her inability to serve in the court room, she said she wasn't just representing us but had to deal with multiple clients, using this as an excuse for her poor performance. It's not an excuse. She needs to take on fewer clients if she cannot handle so many, which she clearly could not. She has the audacity to charge money for such legal services. Please find yourself a better lawyer who actually prepares before the case and who hasn't overloaded themselves to this extent. Her legal services will be at your detriment.
