Administrative Agency Litigation

JH HEIBERGER PLLC is one of the most successful and respected law firms concentrating on NYC Real Estate Administrative Agency Litigation.

Many local, state and federal government agencies regulate matters pertaining to NYC Real Estate Law and Landlord-Tenant Law. Parties affected by the actions of these agencies have the right to an agency hearing. Litigating with a local, state, or federal governmental agency is a complex process.

Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of these government agencies, and represent clients who are adversely affected by government action and regulation, both in the courts and in contested administrative hearings.

We represent commercial and residential clients in NY Real Estate Administrative Agency Litigation for real property located in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.
