Alleging that a Brooklyn landlord-tenant law firm runs “a high-volume debt collection and eviction litigation practice by copying and pasting assertions from an intake sheet,” state Attorney General Letitia James sued the firm for “deceptive rent collection practices” and “initiating frivolous lawsuits,” according to the complaint and a news release.

“Defendants have, for years, run a high-volume debt collection and eviction litigation practice by copying and pasting assertions from an intake sheet filled out by their clients without conducting any meaningful attorney review of cases, and have sued and even evicted tenants where there was no legal basis to do so,” the 63-page complaint filed in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn says of the defendant law firm, Balsamo, Rosenblatt & Hall, and its attorneys Robert Rosenblatt and Edward Hall, who are also named in the suit.
