Fertig & Fertig

Bret Fertig is an amazing attorney. His team is also amazing. Never left us hanging throughout our whole process. We are first time homebuyers and Fertig & Fertig made it so easy. They worked extremely hard to help us close on our first home.

I have used Brett Fertig on dozens of real estate transactions. He has closed 1000’s of real estate deals and knows all the little quirks on nyc real estate law. I would highly recommend him for residential and commercial real estate.

Two lawyer brothers who work together. Not even sure what they specialize in but I called at the referral of another random lawyer with a question related to getting a tenant out of my property within the first thirty days as the tenant did not even sign a lease at that point. My property is considered a commercial property because of the number of units but (and I found this out later) it still falls under NYC residential tenancy rules. I was told by officers that I could get these people out of my building within the first 30 days because they had not signed a lease. When I called one of the Fertigs to confirm, the guy on the phone seemed so matter of fact and seemed to know what he was talking about that I took his advice at face value (mainly because he iterated that landlords have absolutely little to no rights in NYC when it comes to issues like this) and I did not consult with any other lawyers. Apparently the advice he gave me was wrong. I could apparently have gotten them out within the first 30 days but unfortunately now I am 4 months in to this tenant not having paid rent, smoking weed and they live right across from my apartment so I have to constantly be aware of them being there. I just recently started a non-​payment case so I am looking at more months without rent but had the Fertig guy not giving me the wrong advice, I would not have to be dealing with this right now.
Tenant-​Landlord issues — not this office’s forte.
