Horrible! never returned my calls, one time he answered said will call me back -he never did - another time he acted like he couldn't hear me although both of our receptions were great - reason I know when I TEXTED HIM and he claimed it not his fault and mine I texted him requesting to call from a land line he never replied..........

Please consider hiring Max if you need help evicting delinquent tenants. He knows his stuff and is aware how to counter tenants attempts to stay in the apartments and he goes about it with confidence and conviction and a healthy dose of patience for anxious landlords like myself who depend on a good lawyer to get out problem tenants.
Max will walk you through the process (multiple times in my case as I was very concerned I understand what was going on with so much at stake) and deliver the results you need.

During this frustrating and confusing time with the pandemic. Trying to navigate the laws on our own would've been impossible. When we were in trouble with troublesome tenants who stopped paying their rent, we went to Max with our case and he did not hesitate to take our case and get right to work. He was extremely responsive and timely by phone and text. We could rely on him to get back to us and get us exactly what we needed. He was so well versed and professional in court. He got us the outcome we were hoping for and more. We cannot thank him enough.

Max has helped me evict a tenant that refused to move out from a property I bought. The tenant used to own the property and did not move out even with a course of new owners. However, Max took all the right steps in helping me get her out. He made sure there were no mistakes made in the process that could have further delayed the eviction. I bugged him with alot of questions, and yet he still took the patience to respond to all of them. If you are looking for an eviction lawyer, he is your man.

I hired Max to help me have a previous owner evicted, I bought a foreclosed property and was paying a hefty mortgage but could not access my house. Max was very professional but also didn't take any ^%$#& either, the whole process was no longer than 8 weeks and i was on my way to finally having access to my home. 8 weeks may seem long but with everything going on with Covid, 8 weeks, if that, was amazing! I would recommend him for sure! He was definitely a god send for me and will use him again if needed. Thanks Max, I appreciate all of your help!

I was in a bind over signing a month to month lease for an apartment in a building that was being sold. I called Max after finding him on the internet. He called back, which is unusual these days. He met with me, resolved my issue and always got back to me in a timely manner. I will definitely use him again. I highly recommend him.

Dear reader,
I hired Max Smelyansky for his experience in tenant/landlord issues and the services he provided gave me the confidence and understanding to know what my landlord was doing was wrong. Through email and phone calls Max has been working incredibly hard during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain the same level of professional communication that I would have received prior to the pandemic. I have no doubt of his ability as an attorney, as he has brought awareness to new and changing laws, therefore he does his due diligence to stay knowledgeable about the changes in law. In addition to

If you need to hire an attorney do not hesitate to call Max Smelyansky! He is very responsive and professional. His advice is top notch. I don't think you will find another attorney who is as willing to contact you at your convenience! We were very satisfied.

Max is an excellent lawyer. I had a ticket where I was going 23 miles over the the speed limit due to a medical emergency happening and the cop gave me a ticket for speeding and tinted windows. I was so upset about this. Then I found Max on yelp and am so glad I did he took down speeding ticked down to non moving violation and I ended up getting 2 points which I'm ok with. Tints turned into a parking ticket. I am very happy I hired this lawyer . If your ever get speeding ticket on through way in Albany area I would recommend this lawyer.

Max is a great lawyer to consult on just about anything you need help with. I managed to get a ticket taking a left turn over a solid yellow line, and Max was able to help me get it reduced to a parking ticket so I didn't get hit with points on my license.
