Hiring an attorney in New York City

New York City is the largest legal market in the United States and a global centre for finance, corporate law, media and international disputes. Many of the country's major law firms are based in Manhattan. In New York the Supreme Court is the main trial court, not the highest one, and its Commercial Division handles complex business cases. The city also has a Civil Court, a Family Court, a Housing Court and Surrogate's Courts for estates. Federal cases go to the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, with appeals to the Second Circuit.

Attorneys are admitted by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, and you can check registration and status in the state court system's attorney search. Discipline is handled by attorney grievance committees. New York has no general specialist title, so ask attorneys in New York City about their record with cases like yours. Membership of the New York City Bar Association or the New York State Bar Association is voluntary.

Residents often need help with tenant and landlord matters in Housing Court, apartment and co-op purchases, divorce and custody, estates, employment claims and injury cases. The city has some of the largest immigrant communities in the country, so immigration attorneys are in constant demand. Businesses hire New York City law firms for financing, mergers, securities, real estate, employment and litigation.

Injury cases are usually taken on contingency, with a written agreement and limits set by court rules for some claims. Other work is billed hourly, by flat fee or with a retainer, and New York requires a written engagement letter in many matters. Firms work in Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, Korean, Haitian Creole, Bengali, Yiddish and many other languages. Narrow down by practice area below.
