Areas of Practice

In addition to the general areas of practice listed on the "About" page, The Law Office of Mildred J. Michalczyk specializes in co-operative litigation, construction litigation, commercial litigation, telecommunications litigation, domestic relations litigation, employment discrimination litigation, and immigration.

Recent Litigation

Recently, Ms. Michalczyk has served as co-counsel, jointly-representing a multi-national telecommunications firm in a multitude of contractual dispute issues. These issues include negotiation and interpretation of roof-top lease agreements: Ms. Michalczyk assisted with litigation in Federal, State and City Courts, in order to determine for the client whether the placement of antenna facilities on roof-tops caused the telecommunications firm to be liable for structural damage(s) resulting from its antennas. These complex matters required addressing landlord-tenant disputes, as well as attending administrative hearings at the Environmental Control Board (ECB). Ms. Michalczyk is available to assist other attorneys, and is willing to serve as joint or assistant counsel at a reasonable hourly rate.

Yellowstone Injunction

The Law Office of Mildred J. Michalczyk also specializes in Yellowstone Injunctions, also known as Yellowstone Eviction Law Motions, which are a special type of Supreme Court hearing brought by a tenant against his or her landlord. In order to initiate a Yellowstone Eviction Law Motion, a tenant must be accused of default by his or her landlord; the landlord generally serves  the tenant with a document called a "Notice to Cure" because of a perceived violation of the lease agreement by the tenant. A violation of the lease agreement on the part of the tenant would normally give the Landlord the ability to prematurely terminate the lease agreement; however, as in all legal disputes, the main goal of the Court is simply to preserve the status quo, not create more issues.
