Why You Need the Right Litigation Attorney

A dispute involving real estate, a business relationship, or an estate is rarely simple. The stakes are high, the legal issues are complex, and the outcome depends heavily on how well your case is built from the start. Sondak Law Group handles these matters personally — every brief, every strategy decision, every negotiation.

Unlike larger firms that hand cases off to junior associates at various stages, Ms. Sondak oversees each matter from initial consultation through motion practice, settlement negotiations, trial, and appeal. Consistent strategy and direct attorney access make a measurable difference in litigation outcomes.

Co-op & Condominium Litigation

Cooperative and condominium disputes can arise quickly and escalate into serious legal proceedings. A Notice to Cure can lead to lease termination. A board decision can strip a shareholder of rights they have held for years. These matters require an attorney who understands both the legal framework and the practical dynamics of building governance.

Sondak Law Group represents shareholders and unit owners in disputes with boards, managing agents, and fellow residents across New York.

Commercial Landlord-Tenant Litigation

Commercial lease disputes can threaten the continued operation of a business. A landlord claiming default, a notice of termination, or a dispute over lease terms can move quickly through the courts. For commercial tenants, obtaining a Yellowstone injunction to toll the cure period can be the difference between keeping a business open and losing a lease entirely.
