Queens Tenant-Landlord Lawyer
Founded in 2010, GORDON LEGAL is a leading private for profit tenant legal services organization representing tenants facing eviction in Queens County Civil Housing Court.
Housing is a necessity, yet every year there are approximately 20,000 evictions in New York City.
Eviction can lead to homelessness, job loss, and a cascade of other negative outcomes that cause severe harm to families and their communities. With housing costs rising across the city and the exceedingly short supply of affordable housing, more and more people— are having trouble finding and keeping housing.
Gordon Legal works with clients defending and prosecuting all types of housing actions against landlords, including Holdover Evictions, Nonpayment Evictions, Unlawful Dwellings, Repairs and Violations and Illegal Lockouts.
Know Your Rights
Tenants who are represented by attorneys are much more likely to obtain better results and avoid eviction.
Gordon Legal works tirelessly to get the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Know The Law
New York has enacted laws to protect tenants from retaliation, provide rental abatements for unsafe conditions, and prevent landlords from terminating a lease prematurely.
All tenants have the basic right to live in a safe and habitable home. If your landlord refuses to make necessary repairs, you have rights.
It is illegal under both state and city law for a landlord to harass you or discriminate against you as a tenant.
Know Your Defense
Tenants have compelling, effective, and technical defenses during a housing court eviction proceeding. Serving papers incorrectly, terminating tenancies prematurely, and failing to name the correct individuals are just a few reasons why housing court cases get dismissed.
Gordon Legal will help you raise all the defenses available to you when representing you in housing court.

Sometimes it can seem like landlords hold all the power. At Gordon Legal we help you exercise your specific rights and defenses to protect your home or hold your landlord accountable for what you have suffered or lost.
