MFY Legal Services - New York

I had the pleasure of working with Chelsea Shieh, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly dedicated and responsible, spending a great deal of time communicating with me, preparing documents, researching my case, and attending hearings. Her thorough preparation and commitment to my case gave me confidence throughout the process. Thanks to her hard work, we ultimately achieved a successful outcome. I truly appreciate her professionalism and diligence.

My experience with MFY Legal services has been an absolute pleasure. Tangier Harper was/is my hero throughout the whole process of fighting for justice with succession rights. I must have called over 10+ different law firms to take on my case. No one would except for Ms. Harper. She's intelligent, courageous, patient, funny, highly experience and so easy going.

She works with you and calms any anxiety or fears you may have about threatening landlords or management. There aren't enough words to express how grateful my family and I are for all the help and attention given to us by this beautiful soul during a very difficult time. She's is GOD sent and if it weren't for MFY and Tangier, who advocated and fought incessantly for our rights, we would be in quite the bind. It was a 2 year battle but in the end, it was definitely worth it especially if you have Ms. Harper on your side. Eternally grateful!

Wonderful advocate for the benefits section. Thank you so much you beautify human. The housing folks thought may as well be in the pockets of the landlords. They’ll spend more time arguing with you why they can’t help you rather then just trying to be a bit helpless. Really disappointing. The supervisors for the “mental health project” pretends to be compassionate. Phoney baloney .

Basically helping landlords continue to break the law. They can pick and choose cases and happy to throw someone under a bus because that person lacks resources. They are as bad as the landlords they allege to be fighting against. A Ms Lana Pelltier mcCrea focused on being patronizing over an administrative detail, basically insinuating I was lying to her. Then refused to take my case. Totally out of touch. Ms Pelltier, the court clerks won't file everything! Yoo hoo, I"M NOT ON NYSEF. LIKE YOU! They took the case of another litigant who had just dropped their private attorney. They just slipped right in and their case was taken. lucky them. Even though only 30% of tenants facing eviction get attorney representation, MFJ & Ms MCCrea took someone who could afford a private attorney- and not the person whose life was destroyed by landlord's bad acting. Yup, happy to throw me under the bus- because they do not understand cause and effect and I guess they don't really care. I am in the situation I'm in 100% because of what the landlord did, and what they didn't do- but MFJ is not interested in justice.Ms McCrea’s responses were practically sadistic. Saying “ I’ve paid my rent my entire life” , she’s quick to respond with: “except the last three years”, making sure to rub your face in what is basically the landlord exploiting the pandemic and waiting years to bring the non-payment case . Maybe Ms. McCrea thinks having to do a constructive eviction on a daily basis is fun or funny, like the landlord does. I can only speculate.
Basically this is a sham helping landlords get a pass to break the law and, keep breaking the law, and helping landlords make homeless the tenants they have been harassing for years and helping NYC get rid of poor people.! Not really what they allege their mission statement to be. I thought you cared Mr Darcy. Why don't you help support the voucher program expansion. Then people like me who fall through the cracks could get help and not thrown out of our homes. like this for instance: INDEX NO. 450563/2024

I’m so thankful for their quick response, intake process and being able to speak to a lawyer given how short staffed all the free legal service providers are right now. Their attorneys are knowledgeable and I would highly recommend them if you meet their intake criteria and need a lawyer on a housing or other civil matter.
