Hope you've found a lawyer by now. If not, I'd suggest analysing the materials and posting here for help with your response. You should be sure to file some kind of response by the due date, even if you have not found a lawyer or formulated a reply. Just be sure to reserve the right to amend your answer.
Hiring a lawyer does not always make economic sense in DHCR proceedings, incidentally.

: i live in a rent-stabilized apt. in manhattan and have had a rent-overcharge complaint going on since nov. 1994. last week i received a packet of legal materials from the dhcr that my landord had sent it about the claim. up until now i had been doing all of the work myself, but the legalese is a bit overwhelming. i have about 21 days to respond and need a referal to a good tenant lawyer who charges reasonable rates.

: i realize this is a message board with people who have constructive and not-so constructive comments. some may think that asking strangers for lawyer referals is absurd, but someone might have used a great lawyer who'd be good for me to hire.

: thanks for your time.
