Litigation

Our firm tackles a variety of general litigation cases. This includes contract claims, where we address breaches and disputes over contract terms. We can handle fraud claims, assisting clients who have been wronged through deceptive practices. Our experience and knowledge also extend to issues related to New York’s Uniform Commercial Code, ensuring businesses comply with these standards. We represent clients in city, state, and federal appeals, challenging previous court decisions. Our team also manages foreclosure cases, aiding those facing the loss of their property. Finally, we can help protect your business’s trade secrets, safeguarding your intellectual property and business advantages.

Land Use

Our land use practice involves navigating zoning laws, obtaining permits, and handling disputes with governmental entities. We can assist you in developing land-use strategies that align your goals with legal regulations.

Real Estate

In the realm of real estate, we cover disputes involving property ownership, boundary issues, and landlord-tenant conflicts. We provide legal guidance on transactions, helping to ensure smooth property sales and purchases.

Corporate Law

Our firm caters to businesses facing legal challenges. This includes forming and structuring businesses, handling mergers and acquisitions, and managing shareholder disputes. We also advise companies on compliance with corporate governance and regulations.

Healthcare Litigation

The health care industry is one of the most regulated in the nation. Especially now, in a time of significant reform and constant change, health care providers need support from legal professionals who understand health care law and stay current on the changes being made.

Municipal

Whether you’re a local government involved in a legal dispute or a private citizen with a legal matter before a government agency, finding a successful resolution is a challenge.

Civil Rights & Wrongful Arrests

We stand up for individuals whose civil rights have been violated. This includes cases of discrimination, unlawful police conduct, and infringement of constitutional rights.

White Collar Crime

The consequences of White Collar Crimes can be devastating — including imprisonment, steep fines, and lasting professional damage. These cases require not just a criminal defense attorney, but one who is fluent in financial, regulatory, and corporate complexities.

Matrimonial

We provide compassionate legal support in matters of divorce, child custody, alimony, and marital property division. Our approach balances legal acumen with sensitivity to the personal nature of these cases.

Why Choose Harfenist Kraut & Perlstein LLP

New York has no shortage of big-name law firms to handle your legal issue. However, bigger is not always better, as large firms often do not value individual client relationships or let junior associates handle all the legal work.

Proven
results

While most civil cases do not go to trial, it’s crucial to evaluate a firm’s results before hiring them. In addition to our dozens of successful trial verdicts, we have recovered noteworthy settlements for both institutional clients and individuals. We would happily share some of our recent victories with you during a consultation.

Commitment to client satisfaction

The attorney-client relationship is the bedrock of any successful legal practice, and it’s something we take seriously at Harfenist Kraut & Perlstein LLP.
