Matthew coordinated a settlement with my landlord over an illegal, unsafe apartment violation. Before working with Matthew, it was an incredibly stressful situation and my landlord was not taking the situation seriously. Matthew stepped in and made the process seamless and I finally felt like I had someone in my corner. We ended up settling for far more than I expected. Highly recommend for peace of mind and incredible results.

I'm so happy to leave this review because other people in need of a landlord-tenant attorney should know about Matthew! He helped me when I was in the middle of contentious dealings with my landlord. Matthew's legal counsel was measured, fair, logical, and reasonable. He helped me negotiate relocation expenses, and knowing I had Matthew in my corner made the whole stressful process a lot less stressful. I appreciated how accessible he was and how generous he was with his time (including over the weekend). I recommend Matthew without hesitation.

Matthew helped me resolve a dispute with a landlord who wanted to break my lease to sell the house I had recently rented. It was a difficult situation as I had barely settled into my new home. Matthew provided clear and effective advice at our first meeting. He drew up settlement papers to which the landlord agreed without argument. I had the best possible monetary outcome and was able to take the time I needed to find a new home. I am grateful to Matthew for taking the time to explain my legal options and for calming what could have been a contentious dispute with a landlord who was initially uncommunicative and uncooperative with me as a tenant. I recommend Matthew to anyone needing assistance navigating tenant and landlord matters. Thank you Matthew.

It was a great experience working with Mr. Abrams. I hired him to help me solve the issue with my new landlord. Mr. Abrams showed himself as the very knowledgeable lawyer. He was prompted with answering my questions as well as firmly representing my interests for the opposed party. He in details explained me all possible consequences in accepting possible sutions to achieve an agreement in my case. For me everything went smoothly and mutually satisfying. I will definitely recommend him as someone to trust to and deal with in reaching the satisfactory deal the easiest way possible.

I greatly appreciated Mr. Abrams prompt return of my phone call regarding a landlord harassment issue. He took the time to review my documentation and offered an opinion as to what next steps might be on both sides. Fortunately it appears I will be able to resolve this without an attorney, but I will certainly be hiring Mr. Abrams should I require any further assistance with this or any future situation.

I was facing a buyout situation and I didn’t know how to handle the negotiations. After searching for a lawyer and based on previous reviews, I decided to contact Matthew. I could quickly tell that Matthew was going to be honest with my situation and how things would be handled and the time that it would take. He has a strategic mind and experience on all sides of the negotiations that allowed me a clear view in my decision-making. Everything happened exactly as he predicted. I highly recommend his services!

Matthew is exactly who you want when you are facing off against a landlord who assumes you don't know your rights or don't have any. He knows tenant law thoroughly and approached my case in a measured way and takes the most crucial, common sense steps in getting you justice. No empty promises but no important details left abandoned. My landlord is negligent and a bully and I was suffering continually due to her continued unwillingness to keep the apartment up to code and proper living standards. Many of my belongings were ruined due to rain leaks, floods, and ongoing plumbing issues, as well as a hazardous placement of a ceiling fan leaving my finger broken and permanently damaged. The landlord would trick me into believing there was no action required on her part, sending many harassing texts over the years. I reached out to Matthew and he sent thorough, eloquent demand letters and worked with a lot of patience and diplomacy with her insurance company toward helping me recoup what my belongings and suffering were worth. I felt very vindicated and my landlord even replaced all the plumbing in the building finally as well, and will likely never bully me again. Thank you, Matthew!

I've hired Matthew many times over the last 4 years and he's been an absolute pleasure work with. Extremely knowledgeable and has been beyond dedicated to every project. He's helped me with real estate issues all the way to detailed intellectual property cases. Would highly recommend him and will continue to hire Matthew for all my legal needs.

Highest possible rating on AVVO. He was easy to reach, listened well, gave me a plan, told me what to do and what not to do in troubling a landlord situation. Peace of mind right away. Will be my go-to attorney.

Matthew was fast to respond to my request for assistance navigating an apartment uninhabitability dispute with my landlord. His counsel was clear and actionable. Would recommend him to anyone facing tenant-landlord issues.
