Assistance Nonetheless

A friend of mine recently went to our office to ask for legal assistance. She thought that we have a battery of lawyers considering the fact that we handle or process public records, including court files.

Although we couldn’t represent her in court, we were able to enlighten her on some of the issues surrounding her legal problem. She had just been evicted by her landlord last month for allegedly subletting the place she’s living in to another. She insists that the allegation of the property owner was not true. She clarified that the supposed sub lessee was actually her niece from Australia who stayed with her for 2 months because she still couldn’t find a place near NYU.

We provided her with several state and federal court decisions, the facts and issues of which mirror that of the situation she is currently in. Although she left our office without accomplishing her objective of hiring a lawyer, she was nonetheless relieved to have been able to know that she has a solid case against her landlord
