Brooklyn's Housing Lawyer
Jay Browne

NYC Landlord Tenant Court
is complex & contentious

you need more than just an attorney; you need a guide. I'm Jay Browne, a seasoned litigator who brings a rare depth of legal insight to every case he handles. With 15 years of experience, I offer my clients my exceptional level of strategic thinking and legal acumen. I understand that whether you are a tenant defending your home or a property owner protecting the brownstone your grandma left you, the stakes are incredibly high. My team is dedicated to navigating these challenges with foresight, precision, and an unwavering focus on achieving your goals.

Since starting my firm in 2012

I've been on the front lines of Brooklyn's housing disputes, building a reputation for my sharp legal analysis and effective courtroom advocacy. From Day One, I've had a clear mission: to provide the sophisticated counsel of a large firm without losing the personalized attention and direct communication that clients deserve. This commitment to excellence is why other law firms often retain me as counsel for strategic guidance on their own complex civil litigation matters, trusting my ability to dissect difficult cases and chart a path to success.

How can I help?

My practice is focused on providing clear, effective solutions for both landlords and tenants in Brooklyn. I handle a wide array of disputes with the strategic approach necessary to protect your interests.

• For Tenants: I can defend you against wrongful eviction, address warranty of habitability violations (such as lack of heat or repairs), and protect your rights under New York's complex rent stabilization laws.
  
  

• For Landlords: I can help you navigate nonpayment and holdover eviction proceedings, enforce lease terms, and draft clear, compliant lease agreements to protect your investment and prevent future disputes.

• For All Clients: I provide strategic guidance in civil litigation, traffic court, and prenuptials helping you understand your options and positioning your case for the strongest possible outcome.
