★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tanya Firicano · Dec 2025

Not to be trusted. Sided with the landlord from the start. Even recorded our phonecalls without disclosure which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Their whole purpose is to compensate the landlord whether the tenant truly owes them or not. They don't fight for repairs unless pushed to and want to just pay off the landlord and close the case. They look down upon tenants and believe that basic human rights are an amenity, such as hot water. Defend yourself, you're better off

★★★★★ 5.0 Luis Antonio · Oct 2025

My review is for a grate man and a helpful attorney on my citizenship done this year. His name is Antonio Changanaqui. Don't talk to much, but knows his work. If you need help, count on him. By Luis Espinal

Bronx Defenders are AMAZING if it wasn't for BD specially Yaritza I would be on the street or trying to get in a shelter!! In the knick of time I got a call back and Yaritza did what I thought didn't exist because it's impossible to navigate HRA but she is fast, efficient and knowledgeable about the system!! She's my "SUPER HERO" forever more. THANK YOU!! YP

The Bronx Defenders alone has received more than $500 million in city contracts since fiscal year 2018 to provide a host of legal services to poor criminal and civil defendants, including migrants, according to a review of contracts from 2009 to the present. This is your tax dollars.
