About Our Firm

In 1997 the firm of Collins & Dobkin merged with the law office of Seth A. Miller to form Collins, Dobkin & Miller, LLP. The partners bring a combined total of over fifty years of housing law experience to the firm. The goal of our practice is to provide quality legal representation to the tenant community of New York City. In addition to landlord/tenant law, individual partners have developed areas of expertise including real estate closings, personal injury, cooperative and condominium law and loft law. The firm has represented clients in Housing Court, Civil Court, Supreme Court, all state appellate courts, federal district and bankruptcy courts, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and before state and local housing agencies. Over the years the partners have represented thousands of individual tenants and scores of tenant groups and associations.

Among the groups and associations we have represented are the Glenn Oaks Village Tenants Association, the 210 East 68th Street Tenants Association, the Four Corners Tenants Association, Car Barn Flats Tenants Association, Lower Manhattan Loft Tenants, the Bank Street Tenants Association, the Herbert Towers Tenants Association, the 223 West 16th Street Tenants Association, the Association of Rent Controlled Tenants of 250 Riverside Drive, and the Association of Rent Controlled Tenants of 425 Riverside Drive.

All of the partners have been vigorous advocates on behalf of tenants rights, publishing articles, making television and radio appearances, participating in impact litigation, supporting key groups like the Metropolitan Council on Housing, Tenants and Neighbors and the Queens League of United Tenants.
