Attorney & Founder
Edwin Dilesio Maria, Esq.
Edwin Maria was admitted to the New York bar in November 2015 and has spent his career focused on one thing: NYC landlord-tenant law. He knows how non-payment cases play out in Queens Housing Court, how DHCR proceedings work for a Bronx rent-stabilized tenant, and what arguments land in front of a Manhattan judge. That kind of specific, borough-by-borough experience takes years to build - and it shows up in how he handles cases.
He represents both landlords and tenants - a deliberate choice. Seeing cases from both sides of the table makes him sharper in every matter he takes on. A landlord client benefits from an attorney who understands exactly how a tenant will defend. A tenant client benefits from an attorney who knows what a landlord is trying to accomplish. That dual perspective is something most housing attorneys don't have.
The firm runs on a simple model: understand your situation thoroughly, give you an honest read of where you stand, build a strategy around your specific goals, and see it through. No runaround. No padding the clock.
Why clients choose us
What Sets This Firm Apart
Admitted to NY Bar Since 2015
Nearly a decade of NYC landlord-tenant practice - RPAPL § 711, the Rent Stabilization Code, DHCR regulations, and Housing Maintenance Code are the daily work here, not occasional cases.
Both Sides of the Table
Edwin represents landlords and tenants. That 360° view of every type of dispute means stronger arguments, better anticipation of the other side, and more effective representation for you.
All Four NYC Boroughs
Regular appearances in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx Housing Courts. Each borough has its own court dynamics - familiarity with all four is a real advantage.
Results-Focused
The goal is a practical, enforceable outcome - not just legal activity. Every case gets a strategy built around what you actually need to walk away with.
Direct Communication
You'll know where your case stands at every step. Plain language, clear timelines, and prompt responses - not legal jargon and radio silence.
Free Initial Consultation
Every new matter starts with a free, confidential consultation. Understand exactly where you stand before you commit to anything.
