Know a tenants' rights lawyer? We need some advice!

ap

We have an issue with our landlord and would like to consult with a lawyer or someone well-versed in tenants' rights. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

The state attorney general's office (now Eric Schneiderman) has a bunch of online guides if your problem is a common one. Look under Resources for tenants rights. You used to be able to call them and get someone to talk to, although they have a main number for inquiries. They also have links to refer you to reputable attorneys.

Also, South Brooklyn Legal Services may be able to advise.

Second South Brooklyn Legal Services (although they have certain requirements you must meet) If they cannot help you can contact David Kaminsky (http://www.davidakaminsky.com/).
