“I’m grateful that I was able to find Adam and he came through in what he promised”- Ahmet Nejat Ozsu
I was fortunate to have someone I trust recommend Adam Leitman Bailey. I spoke with Adam and a few other attorneys, and I also consulted with another trusted advisor. Both the person who recommended Adam and the person I confided in said, without hesitation, that Adam was the right person to handle my case. They were absolutely correct.
Initially, I wasn’t asking for money—I was asking for time. My problem was that I hadn’t worked during COVID, and after about five months of looking for a place to live, I couldn’t find anything. Every rejection I received was because I wasn’t working at the time. All I needed was time to secure a job so that I could have a stable place to live. The amount of money they offered wouldn’t have solved my problem. Interestingly, I did find work within the time frame I had asked for, so all of this could have been avoided if I had just been given a bit of time.
Before hiring Adam, I signed up for ERAP (Emergency Rental Assistance Program) when it reopened in January. I had tried to apply earlier, but the program had been closed. ERAP was designed to protect people financially affected by COVID, which I was. Through the program, I was able to gain protection from eviction.
The first thing Adam did was put together a team of professionals with various areas of expertise to tackle the problem. He assembled a very strong team. From the beginning, he sat down with me, listened to my position, and came up with a comprehensive strategy. He then followed through on that strategy, systematically addressing each of the different problems I was facing in Housing Court, Supreme Court, and beyond.
What stood out to me was Adam’s tenacity and passion for his work. To succeed in anything, I believe you need both passion and experience—and Adam has both in spades. His expertise and determination are exactly why he did so well for me. The process was long, and I had to stay strong in my beliefs, but Adam’s confidence and professionalism made it easier to endure.
Adam is incredibly committed to understanding the law he practices, and his passion for justice is evident in everything he does. I don’t think this can be said for everyone in his field. I trusted that the lawsuit against me was meritless, and I had faith that Adam would prevail—and he did.
Standing up for what you believe in is important, even when it’s difficult. It’s easy to walk away, but I believe we always have choices, even in situations that seem hopeless. In this case, I made a conscious decision to stand my ground, knowing it would be challenging. That decision gave me strength, and I was able to see it through with Adam’s help.
One thing that impressed me was how Adam went above and beyond, even after our case was resolved. He called me just to talk and have a heart-to-heart conversation. We even discussed our shared passion for biking. He didn’t have to do that—we were long past the obligations of our agreement—but it showed me the kind of person he is. He genuinely cares about the people he works with. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll go biking together!
Throughout the entire process, Adam and his team were incredibly responsive. I never felt like I was waiting for answers. Whenever I had questions or didn’t understand something, they took the time to explain it to me. Their communication and professionalism were top-notch.
I’m truly grateful to have found Adam Leitman Bailey. He delivered exactly what he promised—and more.
