Mitchell S. Zingman

I offer my clients the benefit of more than 40 years of experience. In that time, I’ve learned how to fight, when to fight, and when to negotiate your differences.

A substantial portion of my practice involves commercial and residential landlord and tenant litigation. Representing both landlords and tenants, I have deeply immersed myself in this area of law. Preparing for trial and mastering the details of each case are hallmarks of my practice. They are the reason, in part, why I am a lawyer who other lawyers turn to when a sophisticated landlord and tenant problem arises.

Complementing my landlord and tenant litigation practice, I have also worked in commercial leasing, drafting and negotiating a range of leases from small space leases for “mom and pop” operations to offices to large space leases for store chains. Having tested most lease provisions in court, I am in a better position than most to know the implications of each lease term and articulate the arguments that can make a difference in lease negotiations.

I also provide full-service representation in all areas of real property transactions. I have extensive experience in the purchase, sale, and refinancing of real property, having worked on deals ranging from residential transactions – for single-family homes, condominium units, and cooperative apartments – to commercial transactions involving apartment buildings and other commercial structures. My experience through multiple swings in the real estate and real estate financing markets in New York City provides me with an informed grasp of how to best serve your real estate needs.
