If you are searching for a well known, highly respected, and very smart landlord/tenet lawyer, James Fishman, Esq. is your man. He settled out of court my case with an extremely contentious landlord, a family organization owning multiple properties, that has an in house legal dept. Ja mes was very straightforward with me regarding my chances if litigated. My landlord had an active suit against me personally for the commercial property in question. James guided me as to what monies should be offered to achieve a settlement and made sure the legal points were fine tuned. The major bone of contention was rent due during COVID lockdown and the months following when there was very little business in New York City. It was very helpful to have found a lawyer in whom I had the utmost confidence. A settlement was achieved and a lease forward signed.

James Fishman was a godsend for me and my husband. We needed to break our Manhattan rental lease to move to a retirement community in North Carolina. New York State has a statute that allows seniors to do this under certain conditions that we met. However, breaking a NYC lease is not for the faint of heart because the penalties can be substantial. Additionally, we were concerned that the landlord’s representative would be difficult to deal with. I did my research and found Mr. Fishman and even was able to see a video of his testimony before a City Counsel housing committee. We met with James virtually and found him to be accessible, quite knowledgeable, reassuring and easy to work with. He drafted the letter announcing our intent, the letter requesting the return of our security deposit, followed up on the security deposit and processed it through his escrow account, sending us the correct amount. The very valuable thing James gave us was peace of mind.

having begun the process with a highly unpleasant and far less competent attorney, I am so grateful to have found James Fishman, who made the entire experience as close to pleasant as a legal case can be. He knew exactly what needed to be done, exactly how to do it, and was at the same time respectf ul of my time (and so, cost!), and was - as I knew he would be - ultimately successful. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

James Fishman came highly recommended to me when I needed legal help with my rent stabilized apartment in the West Village in NYC. He has specialized in landlord/tenant cases for over 40 years. I appreciated his knowledge, guidance, professionalism, work ethic and his excellent representation. He went the distance with me and with a favorable outcome. Now, I can highly recommend him. Many thanks James!!

We hired Jamie in 2018 and he represented us for over seven years as the plaintiffs in a very complicated landlord tenant dispute to prove our apartment was rent stabilized. Jamie was incredibly knowledgable about the law, and also tenacious in his defense of our claim. His motions were timely and well written. We completely trusted his legal advice and knew he would not have us settle for anything that we were not completely comfortable with. He was always forthright and well-reasoned. He also knew when to push hard and when to try and find consensus among the parties. In the end, we decided a buy-out was our best option, but we never felt pushed into a decision. He is well respected by judges and attorneys on both sides of the aisle. When we told others in the legal field he was representing us they would often say I know of him, he is great. It was a pleasure to work with him all these years.

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 w ere 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!

Jenn was recommended to me when a extremely odd situation arose in my former building and I knew I needed protection. It was not safe and soon became litigious involving multiple management companies and owners lasting for a couple years. Jenn was there for me and fought for me the WHOLE TIME! I can not thank her enough for all she did and would not have succeeded without her! She is gold. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jennifer was our attorney on a decade-long case that involved our rent stabilized building (I was a tenant) and was in a dog-fight with some TOUGH building owners that were double-dipping on the tax-abatement (stipend) from the city/state and us, the tenant. As the years went by, and the case moved from court to court, had appeal and appeal, and more time kept going by she ALWAYS said, we will be victorious! She knew our case was strong, but would not be strong-armed by this notorious landlord. She would email us each and every time there was a hearing, trial or any material information on the case, and a timeline. She never lost her motivation and after a decade we were just awarded! And let me just say, it was like hitting the lottery!!! Jennifer, you ROCK!

An absolute godsend!!! Had a very tough and very nasty situation with a brand new building to get out of a lease before it started. No one would take my case. They all told me “good luck” and sent me packing. Not only did Jennifer listen to me, assure me that she would find the right approach, and d o some research - she ultimately succeeded and I was able to walk away with very little financial loss. She absolutely saved me. In a time of major uncertainty, health scares, and horrific landlords - Jennifer was my lucky star. Thank you so much. Your professionalism will not be forgotten. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!!!

I had 2 consultation calls with Jennifer and was extremely impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. I wasn't in a dispute with my property manager, but a victim to another tenant's abusive and toxic behavior for 2 yrs. who happened to be in Housing Court for non-payment of rent and holdover dwelling. Just as I was getting ready to hire Jennifer, the court issued a stipulation/order on the problem tenant. Although I only consulted with Jennifer, she always responded to my emails in a timely manner and professionally. I would not hesitate to retain Jennifer for any tenants' rights matters.
