Fillipponi Law PLLC

Full-Service Philosophy

Eviction matters require more than the filing of court papers and appearances in Housing Court. In New York, they demand close attention to detail, familiarity with a constantly evolving legal framework, and consistent oversight from start to finish. This firm approaches eviction representation with the belief that matters should be handled carefully, deliberately, and correctly the first time.

Representation begins well before a case is filed. Each matter is evaluated at the outset to determine the appropriate strategy, applicable notice requirements, and procedural considerations. The firm takes an intentionally hands-on approach to eviction representation and requires that all stages of the process be handled through its office. Dividing responsibility between counsel and client often increases the risk of technical errors or procedural missteps. Centralizing the process allows potential issues to be identified early and addressed before they compromise the case.

Pre-eviction notices are prepared and reviewed with care, service and timing are closely monitored, and proceedings are commenced only when the matter is properly positioned to move forward. To maintain consistency and avoid unnecessary delays, this firm utilizes private process servers and constables to ensure that notices, pleadings, and warrants are served and executed properly and in a timely manner. Reliance on dedicated professionals allows for closer supervision of service and execution, reducing the risk of missed deadlines, defective service, or avoidable adjournments.

Eviction matters are handled with care and attention, and are approached with thorough preparation, careful case management, and clear communication throughout. This philosophy reflects a commitment to diligence, accountability, and sustained effort from the beginning of the matter through its conclusion.
