Recent Success Stories In Commercial Tenancy Disputes

Tenant Defense- We recently defended a nail salon that had eight years left on its below market lease. We attacked the landlord’s meritless foundation for early termination of the lease. Based on our aggressive defense and clear analysis of the landlord’s weak position the landlord gave up, and our client is still in possession.

Landlord Representation- We recently won a judgment for possession and damages against a Convenience Store Retailer who refused to pay its pro-rated share of secured taxes. The tenant was an assignee of a previous tenant, and argued that they were not therefore responsible for those taxes. We prevailed at trial.

In representing these landlords and tenants we use our wealth of legal knowledge and our trial experience to deliver appropriate results to our clients.
