What recent reviews say

Scott Lanin is a Manhattan-based litigator with 34 years of practice who consistently earns five-star reviews for foreclosure defense and mortgage litigation. Clients praise his direct communication, tactical skill, and willingness to decline cases he doesn't believe he can win. His team responds quickly and handles complex cases with visible attention to detail.

Many reviewers note their initial surprise at finding an accessible, fairly-priced attorney despite his standing in the field. Long-term clients and business owners describe him as a trusted advisor who explains legal strategy in plain language and settles disputes before trial when possible.

Landlord Tenant, Criminal & Civil Litigation Lawyers | The Law Offices of Ari Mor, Esq., P.C.

4.2(100)✓ Google-verified

Reviewers praise Ari Mor as knowledgeable in landlord-tenant disputes and able to navigate complex cases successfully. He and his team (including staff member Elki) are described as caring, responsive, and patient. However, a significant minority report serious problems: communication breakdowns, rushed consultations, aggressive responses to client concerns, and high fees for minimal work. Results and reliability appear inconsistent across client experiences.
