: I must quickly move to search for an attorney to represent me in a non-payment proceeding in the NYC housing court.
: I have begun with a Bar referral service who offers affordable lawyers, and those with consultation fees of $25 for the first 1/2 hour.
: The first attorney was not interested in my case; she was not familiar with the real state (a hotel). I have an appointment with a second attorney.
: Looks like I will be able to afford a very good lawyer, but am at a loss where to start looking.
: If anyone wants to share experiences, positive or negative, about lawyer/firm selection, please respond here or privately.
: Greetings, ~Nova
You need a landlord-tenant attorney: most attorneys don't know anything about landlord-tenant court. Call some of those who advertise here and/or call Met Council 693-0550 for some referrals. Pick one who only respresents tenants, never landlords.
The ads change frequently, but you can always go to the directory and click on every HTML file. http://www.tenant.net/ads/
