2025 was a Big Year at HG&J LLP 💪🏽🏙️

2025 challenged us—and reminded us why we do this work. Every day meant another court appearance, another appeal, another succession claim—and another client who could stay in their home, take over a family apartment, or push back against unfair treatment.

We’re thrilled to share some big news: Daniel Nakos is joining us as a partner in January 2026! His deep knowledge of rent laws and relentless advocacy make him an incredible addition to our leadership.

This year, our team secured meaningful victories, including:
✔️ Protecting rent-stabilized succession rights
✔️ Defeating fraudulent deregulation
✔️ Setting $9.9 million in repair damages
✔️ Stopping wrongful evictions
✔️ Defending Mitchell-Lama tenants
✔️ Restoring a business after an illegal lockout

Most of all, we’re grateful to our clients—artists, nurses, teachers, small business owners, retirees, and families—who trusted us to fight for them.

Onward to 2026. We’re ready. 💙

Now she’ll work with us to hold landlords accountable and ensure New York City tenants are living in safe, clean homes.
