I read the past review about Jaime before calling him and knew immediately I'd like this guy and what do you know, 10 minutes into the call, he has me cackling on the phone. I've spoken to dozens of lawyers at this point about my landlord-tenant case, but I can say that out of all these people, Jaime truly cares for your wellbeing. Not only could he relate to the issues I've been dealing with, but he also shows compassion towards me, and is honest, transparent, and thoughtful in his responses. You'll find lawyers that want to take your money and rake up the charges, but I can tell he'd spend the diligent time fighting for my rights to ensure I can sleep soundly at night. I'm still figuring out my next steps in this case, but he's the first person I'd call to move forward with! Thanks Jaime!!!

Jaime is a beast at this. I called this man with a situation that had me so mad i couldn't even explain to him correctly . I hung up because at this point i was so mad that im sure he could not understand me. He kindly called me back. I yelled at this man from the top of my lungs assuming he was going to treat me as other attorneys i tried calling prior to Jaime. Some even saying i dont understand you, you sound chinese. This man took his time to research and recommend me some actions i should take towards my situation. Somthing other attorneys could not provide me with. He did all this for free ! I suggest you stop the search and give this homie a call .

Jaime spent one hour and 12 minutes on the phone with me painting the reality of the legal system here in NY for a naïve dork who just moved here and was scammed. He was direct (one big reason I just moved back to the East Coast) and helped create a new angle that may help me with my challenge before I have to jump and swim in a whole heap of bureaucratic mess I would prefer not to play in. I hope I never have to play with the law again after I settle into my life here in the big apple. I felt there were enough things I experienced in my conversation with Jaime that would lead me to trust him. He tells stories in a way that truly helped me to see some of what I need to see. He is straight forward and blunt and I could detect enough heart in him that would see him as someone with whom I would like to team. Thank you for your time tonight Jaime. Best, Rhena

I was fortunate to have Attorney Lathrop represent me ( a property owner) in a case against the Dept. Of Buildings for summonses that were unjustly issued. Thank god that I selected Jaime as my attorney because I would not have been able to handle or navigate the purposely confusing and complicated trial and hearing process without him. He took charge Immediately and informed me of a default judgement that was issued that I had no idea of. If I didn't have him I definitely would've had to pay this exorbinant fine. From the initial consultant, I knew that Attorney Lathrop was the right person to represent me; he was transparent, assuring, professional and knowledgeable. I surmised that he would be an assertive advocate and I felt confident and cared for throughout his representation. My summons problem was escalating with representatives showing up and demanding entrance only to issue additional improper summonses which left me feeling intimidated and harrassed. Attorney Lathrop took care of the problem, represented me at trial and persisted until the all summonses were dismissed. I highly recommend Attorney Lathrop and I have permanently added his number in my rolodex.

I have been a client of Jaime Lathrop, Esq., (Jimmy), since 2015. My house has been in my family for just short of seventy years. Our family consists of educators, an architect, a printer and the youngest is an entrepreneur with a degree in Business Management. We are a family of college educated individuals. Four generations of my family have lived in our house that was built in 1920. This has been our family legacy. I am a senior whose house went into foreclosure due to a series of life altering rents. Needless to say, I was distraught by my constant efforts to desperately navigate my way through these circumstances. However,when this was compounded by a significant loss of income, which was out of my control, it seemed as though I would never be able to regroup. I sought numerous avenues for clarity and guidance. I took recommendations from friends, contacted different housing assistance organizations and attended consultations with numerous attorneys. They simply took info/ retainer with the assurance that they could help me save my family home and nothing further would come of it. Following my numerous disappointments, I was referred to Jimmy by an attorney of a prestigious law firm on Court Street in Brooklyn. This attorney said to me, “I am sending you to the best attorney I know, who can deal with a plethora of mortgage/ homeowner and tenant issues. I would use Jaime Lathrop, without hesitation for my own family members because of his knowledge, experience and reputation in the courts.” She was absolutely correct! When it comes to dealing with those mortgage companies and developers, Jaime Lathrop goes above and beyond in the pursuit of a successful outcome. He leaves no stone unturned. As his client, I realized that I needed to refrain from constantly contacting him for updates about my case. I backed off and allowed him time to expose the contradictory and illegal motions that the corporations’ attorneys would work to implement so convincingly. He is not at all swayed by wealthy bullies. He consequently kept me updated regularly of any pressing matters at hand. Some may mistake his candid, direct manner seasoned with honesty, for arrogance, as I read in one of the reviews. However, Jaime Lathrop is a shark in the tank! He refuses to succumb to the intimidating tactics of his courtroom opponents. His integrity always prevails. Jimmy has fought for my generational home with a steadfast vengeance I feel this effort must be acknowledged. If I could give him 10 stars for his tenacity and implementation of knowledge alone, I would. I will continue to refer Jaime Lathrop to friends and acquaintances. In these hard times, many are in dire straights and feeling desperate just as I was. It was a breath of fresh air that I could address the issues at hand with someone of integrity like Jaime Lathrop.

The Brooklyn Bar Associated referred me to Jaime. I consulted with him, he was very patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He provided answers and options to all of my questions with pros and cons for various issues. At the end of my consult, my understanding of what I deal with was vastly improved. I left our discussion with a much better take of things. My view of Jamie is someone who is professional, knowledgeable, genuine, caring and honest. My issue was further along when I spoke Jamie and based on discussion with him, it did not make sense to change directions. I would definitely retain Jamie Lathrop if another issue comes up or recommend him to someone else.

Jimmy Lathrop just represented me in a landlord/tenant case. During the initial consultation he took the time to fully explain all my options and answer all my questions. His understanding and good humor put me at ease. His optimism about my case was based on his years of experience handling these types of cases. I left the consult feeling much better knowing the situation was going to be handled by him. He is great at responding immediately when I'd call or text with a question. Most importantly he delivered what he promised. There were 2 court appearances and got the situation settle the way I wanted. The Brooklyn Bar Association recommended him to me and I'm very glad they did.

I hired Mr. Lathrop after I fired my 9yr lawyer who told me to just resign a commercial lease without evidence that my current one was still valid due to a foreclosure of the property. Mr. Lathrop was recommended from an acquaintance who at that time saw him for a consultation. My intuition said he sounds like the lawyer I need. Upon meeting Mr. Lathrop for the first time, I sat there asking him questions and he would go on sharing scenarios to find my own answers. Awesome. With confidence I hired Mr. Lathrop right then, put my full trust and 6 months later we won the case. My experience with Mr. Lathrop was very informative and I learned a lot about the laws in my particular case. Some people described his demeanor to be arrogant and rude- In my opinion I perceived it as straight forward and true facts (Business!) . We all know that coming across a person with integrity and being honest is your blessed day. I went on telling Mr. Lathrop that if we did not win the case by far he is an amazing lawyer and did what he needed to do. I am thankful he also trusted me as a client.

I contacted Jaime after going into a panic over receiving an eviction notice. Jaime immediately had a quick and easy game plan for me... which worked! He was pragmatic yet optimistic while being compassionate to my situation. What I appreciate most is that his advice was not self-serving in that he did not try to rack up hours in order to bill me, etc. He advised me in a way that was in my own best interest. I appreciate honest people like this and if I ever have another legal issue in his area of expertise, he will be my first call!

No one looks for an attorney when they are happy. Well, unless you hit the lotto or something.. so if you need someone to stand up for you and help you get what you deserve, call Mr. Lathrop. Jaime is truthful, patient, professional, and empathetic.. However, be prepared. He provides the precise dash of authentic (and somewhat ruthless!) NYC experience that's needed to win your case. Call him. He will pick up the phone and he will get you on your way to solving your problems.

Working with Jaime Lathrop was a very smooth and stress-free process, he was always available to answer all of my questions, and he is very professional. My issue was resolved in a timely manner. I definitely recommend his services!

Jamie was presented with a seemingly impossible fete; I was not expecting to win my case but I simply expected a reasonable settlement. He took my case with no promises and I appreciated his honesty. Jamie and his team (Tom Kwon), took the bull by the horns and represented my interests to the best of their abilities which was a lot. Not only was I represented very well against a major corporation but we won the case uncontested. I witnessed a miracle and thank God for The Offices of Jamie Lathrop. I would recommend him over and over again.
