Landlord Tenant Lawyer Litigation Leasing Evictions Holdover Nonpayment Yellowstone New York City

The practice of Lambert & Shackman, PLLC, is concentrated in the area of real estate and commercial litigation with a particular emphasis on landlord-tenant litigation. The firm receives many cases by referral from leading New York law firms. Its clients include major landlords and institutions, co-ops and condos, commercial and residential tenants, and co-op and condo unit owners.

The firm handles trials and appeals ranging from summary dispossess proceedings for non-payment of rent to complex lease termination issues in Civil Court, as cases involving declaratory and injunctive relief and damages in the Supreme Court, and foreclosures.

The firm handles cases in the Federal Court, the New York Court of Appeals, the Appellate Division and Appellate Term, the State Supreme Court, and the Surrogate's Court. The firm has handled many matters before various administrative tribunals, such as the DHCR.

The firm handles commercial leasing and has represented commercial landlords and tenants throughout New York City and elsewhere.

Mr. Lambert received his law degree from New York University Law School in 1968 when he joined the law firm of Booth Lipton & Lipton and thereafter the larger firms of Finley, Kumble et al., and Dreyer & Traub. In 1979, he opened his own law office and has been providing clients with the same high-quality service since then. Mr. Lambert has more than 40 years of experience in landlord-tenant litigation.

Mr. Shackman received his law degree from Fordham University School of Law in 1993 with honors as a member of the Order of the Coif, Fordham Urban Law Journal, Moot Court Board, and Stein Scholar for legal ethics. He has handled cases in the New York City Civil Court, the Supreme Court, the Appellate Term and Appellate Division, and is experienced in commercial leasing. Mr. Shackman has more than 20 years of experience in landlord-tenant litigation and commercial leasing.

The firm is dedicated to the aggressive and results-orientated representation of its clients and combines a large firm type of attention to detail with small firm personal attention paid to each matter.

The principal reason for referring landlord-tenant cases to outside counsel is the specialized, highly technical nature of landlord-tenant practice in New York City. Landlord-tenant parts have special rules, and clients and referring firms want assurance that counsel is familiar with the law as well as the complexities of the Court. Lambert & Shackman, PLLC, has both the experience and judgment to serve referring counsel and their clients well in the difficult landlord-tenant environment.
