I can’t thank Mark Reisman enough for the help and hope he is providing to me, my family and the other individuals who were financially and emotionally abused by a former business partner. Without Marks help and guidance I honestly don’t know what we would have done. Mark has taken the steps to not only protect us but also address the wrongs that we have suffered. Thank you Mark for everything!

This firm represented my slumlord in Astoria, who sent us and other tenants false and threatening letters of eviction as they bought our building, despite our having a binding lease with the former owner. By threatening young tenants who work full time, lack legal resources, and/or who are not native English speakers, this firm supports slumlords shady and illegal practices (a binding lease prevents eviction for its duration, despite change in ownership, and we told them as much). Shame on you.

I have a case against a real estate company owned by a devious millionaire who would do anything to get his way. My attorney WILLIAM J ROBB, ESQ asked me not to go to court. Then he entered into a settlement without my authorization or knowledge, robbing me of all my merits. Then he claimed it was a mistake. Please do not hire this lawyer. He has no ethics.
