Defending Your Right to Housing Security

Eviction notices often arrive without warning, giving tenants little time to respond properly. Knowing your legal rights is key to building a strong defense. Our attorneys at McPhillips, Fitzgerald & Cullum LLP have deep knowledge of New York eviction laws, providing clients with custom defenses for their unique situations. Professional eviction defense becomes necessary in many cases to protect your rights and keep your housing:

• Receiving incomplete eviction notices, missing required information
• Facing eviction after reporting unsafe living conditions
• Being threatened with eviction without court proceedings
• Experiencing discrimination leading to eviction
• Dealing with landlords who refuse to make repairs
• Having disputes about rent or lease terms
• Facing eviction due to the landlord property foreclosure
• Experiencing illegal utility shutoffs or lockouts

Quick action is vital in eviction cases. Waiting too long to get legal help can reduce your options and harm your case. Our attorneys will help you understand your timeline and create strategies for both immediate concerns and long-term defense.
