Eviction Lawyer New York & Long Island
We handle evictions of foreclosed properties, including “property evictions”, throughout New York State.
Just as the myriad of New York consumer protection laws complicate and delay foreclosures, so do they complicate and delay evictions. Our extensive knowledge of these laws enable us to avoid mistakes in this hyper-technical field and the costly delays they would cause.
There is more to expediting evictions; however, than just knowing the law. The relationships we have developed over the years with the NYC Marshalls, NYS Sheriffs and their staffs have proven to be invaluable, especially when we need a quick response!
Cash for Keys – We understand that the cost of carrying real estate taxes and insurance, not to mention lost interest, can be quite substantial and that even the best lawyers can only do so much in court. Accordingly, while we vigorously pursue the eviction proceeding, we suggest to the occupants, at every opportunity, that they contact the Servicer to inquire about a “Cash for Keys” agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions on Eviction Law
How does Roach & Lin handle eviction of foreclosed properties in New York?
We manage property evictions of foreclosed homes across New York State, using deep understanding of consumer protection laws to avoid mistakes and costly delays.
What makes eviction law in New York “hyper-technical,” and how does Roach & Lin deal with it?
New York has many detailed consumer protection statutes that can complicate and delay eviction proceedings; our knowledge of those laws and our relationships with marshals and sheriffs help move the process more cleanly.
What is a “Cash for Keys” agreement and when is it proposed?
“Cash for Keys” is an agreement with occupants of foreclosed property to vacate voluntarily in exchange for compensation; we suggest this option whenever possible to reduce carrying costs like taxes, insurance, and lost interest.
Why are relationships with NY Marshalls and Sheriffs important in eviction cases?
Because timely enforcement of eviction orders often depends on coordination with those offices; strong working relationships help ensure quicker response when judicial orders are issued.
What can a lender expect when working with Roach & Lin on evictions?
Expect experienced advocacy, strategic use of legal tools, frequent communication, and efforts to balance legal enforcement with cost-efficient resolution (including suggesting “Cash for Keys”) when appropriate.
Do evictions always follow straight after foreclosure with Roach & Lin?
Not always immediately; because procedural protections and consumer law may require extra steps, and in many cases we explore voluntary resolution (like “Cash for Keys”) while pursuing eviction.
