- Lease Disputes

In addition to serving as go-to litigation counsel for all of our clients’ commercial matters, our criminal defense team represents construction and real estate companies and professionals in federal and state criminal investigations and proceedings, when needed.
Yankwitt LLP attorneys are seasoned litigators, aggressive trial lawyers and creative problem solvers, who utilize our collective experience to achieve optimal results for our clients. Our wealth of litigation experience and intimate understanding of the construction and real estate business optimally positions us to counsel our clients on litigation strategies that meet their unique needs, such as when to settle before trial or when to take a case to verdict.
The attorneys at Yankwitt LLP consider all possible avenues to maximize outcomes for our clients, while minimizing their legal spend – an unusual strategy that clients appreciate. We frequently pursue alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and have obtained great success at court-sanctioned settlement conferences, mediations, and binding arbitrations. If settlement is not possible, we are ready to take cases to trial and do so numerous times each year on behalf of our construction and real estate clients in New York and New Jersey. In fact, Yankwitt LLP is one of few Westchester County-based law firms that routinely try cases in state or federal court or arbitration.
While no two clients and cases are the same, one thing remains constant – the attorneys at Yankwitt LLP always listen to our clients. We emphasize smart, lean staffing and cost-effective litigation strategies, and are known for fostering close attorney-client relationships founded in honesty, transparency, and open and frequent communication.
