In New York, flat-fee arrangements are permitted under the Rules of Professional Conduct, provided the fee is reasonable, the scope of representation is clearly explained, and the fee agreement complies with applicable ethical requirements.

At ELG we are Licensed Problem Solvers who focus on strategy, not the clock. No surprise billing!

A flat-fee litigation can provide several advantages, particularly for businesses and individuals seeking cost certainty:

* ELG Clients know the cost of representation upfront, making it easier to budget without worrying about escalating hourly bills.
* AT ELG we are incentivized to resolve matters efficiently rather than prolong litigation.
* ELG Clients are often more comfortable calling or emailing us, because they are not concerned about being billed for every interaction, leading to better communication and proactive problem-solving.
* At ELG we concentrate on achieving the best outcome rather than tracking billable hours.
* ELG clients understand what is included given the clearly defined scope of services.

It’s always nice to be publicly acknowledged on review sites (Google, AVVO, Martindale Hubbel) because such shares give confidence to prospective clients seeking legal counsel in a time of need.
As always, Dear Client—you are welcome, we thank you, too— and “we love you more”. -Janet & Co.

ATTENTION MUST BE PAID!! New York’s Limited Liability Company Law (“LLC Law”) Section 206 requires limited liability companies to publish a notice of formation in newspapers within 120 days of establishment. Failure to comply with the LLC Law can cause a plaintiff to lack capacity to commence a lawsuit in court, permitting dismissal. LLC’s are required to comply with the LLC Law’s publication and filing requirements. It is strongly recommended to do so before commencing proceedings, but if proceedings have been commenced already, curing deficiencies with diligence will lower risks of dismissals.

Tenants properly evicted in failure to renew lease holdover proceedings in NYC may still be restored to possession
In 80 Varick St. Group, L.P. v. Lutz, 2026 NY Slip Op 50643(U), the Appellate Term, First Department permitted possible restoration to possession for a tenant evicted via a failure to renew lease holdover proceeding. The tenant had defaulted the entire proceeding; the eviction occurred; and the lower court “properly addressed the matter within the framework of applicable statutory requirements governing defaults and post-judgment relief.”

Nevertheless, based on the higher court’s “careful balancing of the equities”, it permitted the tenant to be restored to possession, provided the tenant paid all rent, use and occupancy, attorney and eviction fees due, and signed the renewal lease at issue. This decision was made, without a hearing, and without sending the matter back down to the NYC Housing Court to conduct a hearing first.

While the court cautioned its decision was based on “the specific facts presented,” certainly this case illustrates that a NYC residential, rent-stabilized tenant may still perhaps be conditionally restored to possession, after a complete inexcusable default of lease, law, and a proceeding.
