I cannot recommend this attorney highly enough. From the very beginning, he was responsive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. With more than 20 years of experience in housing law, it was clear that he understood every aspect of my case and knew exactly how to navigate the challenges that arose. What stood out most was his ability to successfully escalate and resolve a difficult conflict that had become extremely stressful. Throughout the process, he maintained excellent communication and kept me informed every step of the way. His communication style worked very well for me—he was direct, approachable, and always willing to answer questions. I also appreciated his transparency regarding fees. His pricing was fair, clearly explained, and there were no surprises. Most importantly, he provided realistic expectations from the start and clearly outlined what I could, should, and needed to do to put myself in the best position for a successful outcome. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, my matter was resolved successfully. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone in need of a housing attorney and would absolutely use his services again if necessary—although I sincerely hope I never have to go through something like this again! Thank you for your professionalism, honesty, and outstanding representation.

Had an amazing experience working with Paul on my landlord-tenant situation. Been in a very unhappy and stressful housing situation with my landlord and really wanted to find someone who knew what they were doing. I emailed Paul and he was quick to respond, answered some of my questions up front, and got me one of the best case scenarios in court—something I didn’t even know I could request. Personable, quick, and great at his job. Super recommend!

Attorney Paul Kenney provided effective assistance with a landlord tenant issue. My landlord attempted to terminate my lease without sufficient notice, and Paul was able to negotiate an extension of my move out date. His communication was clear, and the matter was resolved efficiently. I’m truly grateful for his professionalism and support. Highly recommend him.

Paul was fantastic in helping me and my wife recover our full security deposit back from our previous landlords. After our lease expired, they illegally withheld our security deposit and tried to charge us for frivolous repairs without any sort of itemized statement (as required by law). Paul was professional in drafting a demand letter, keeping me up to date on his correspondence with them, and ensuring we received a check for the full amount as required by NYC law. Thank you, Paul!

Paul was an incredible resource in helping to get my security deposit back from a noncooperative landlord. I found Paul through Metlife Legal coverage, and he was very responsive and easy to work with. He drafted and sent a letter, which was all that ended up being necessary, after 6+ weeks of trying on my own. I would very much recommend working with Paul!

Paul was excellent to work with over the past year. I had to ask Paul for help on several occasions when management was ignoring my rights, intimidating me, and repeatedly ignoring my requests. Paul stepped in, gave strong legal advice, and took over communications when needed to protect my rights and privacy. At all times, Paul was very direct and responsive resolving all matters brought to him. I would work with him again.

Mr. Kenney was a tremendous help during a very stressful situation involving my daughter’s apartment lease in Long Island. She was moving from out of state and signed a lease after briefly viewing the apartment, which had no electricity at the time—making it difficult to fully assess the condition. Upon moving in and using her phone flashlight, she discovered a serious roach infestation, a foul odor coming from the refrigerator, and loud noise traveling through a vent from a neighboring unit. It was immediately clear the apartment was uninhabitable. Despite reaching out to fourteen law offices in the area, Mr. Kenney was the only attorney who responded promptly. He took the time to review the lease and understand the situation thoroughly. Based on the lease terms and what had transpired, he reassured me that the lease was not enforceable under those conditions. His expertise and calm guidance provided immense relief, especially since I was unable to be there in person to help my daughter. I’m extremely grateful for Mr. Kenney’s professionalism, compassion, and clear communication. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal advice regarding landlord-tenant matters.

Hiring Paul turned out to be one of the best things I could've done in a contentious situation between a leaseholder and myself. I believe that had I not worked with Paul I probably would've never received the justice I deserved. You can trust that he is working to handle things successfully on your behalf and that is precisely what he had done for me. If you are unsure please read the reviews and for that reason don't hesitate! He wins.

We had been living with a hole in our bathroom ceiling for 4 months following a leak from the plumbing and toilet above us, receiving sparse communication from the coop building management as to when repairs would begin. Paul Kenney helped us resolve the issue quickly and to our satisfaction. I would recommend Paul Kenney in all such matters and would not hesitate to contact him again for legal help in the future.

After I unsuccessfully attempted to take matters into my own hands in dealing with my NYC landlord, Paul Kenney wisely advised me of my rights and as a result, was able to quickly get the situation back on track - in my favor. He was responsive, knows the law inside and out, and I highly recommend him if you’re encountering ANY landlord/tenant issues. He’s truly an advocate for tenant and I’m very grateful I found him.
