Origin and Background

The Linden Law Group’s trial attorneys have a combined 40 years of experience in New York City, state, and federal courts, per the firm’s own site. The Manhattan office at 5 Penn Plaza was confirmed against independent business listings, which also reference the firm’s earlier name, Kupillas Unger & Benjamin.

What Makes This Firm Structurally Different

The firm explicitly represents both sides of business disputes: per its own site, it takes clients “either plaintiff or defendant,” disclosed here directly, in matters ranging from fraud and breach of contract to partnership and shareholder disputes. It also names an unusually specific practice area — “Lovers’ Litigation,” resolving complex financial and business disputes among former unmarried partners — a category most business litigation firms fold into general partnership disputes without separately naming.

Practice Areas

  • Partnership and shareholder disputes
  • Business divorce and dissolution
  • Fraud and deceptive practices litigation
  • Breach of contract disputes
  • Tortious interference with business
  • Real estate litigation
  • “Lovers’ Litigation” (disputes among former unmarried partners)

Track Record

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized table of verdicts or settlements on the firm’s site. Past results in any matter do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

An independently posted client review states, “I highly recommend this law firm. Attorneys Unger and Benjamin battled a real estate scammer who defrauded me out of substantial money,” adding that the attorneys secured “a good result” despite the defendants’ “numerous obstacles and delays over 18 months” and were “honest with me regarding” the case’s prospects throughout. Awesome Attorneys did not identify negative reviews for this firm as of the research date.

Beyond the Courtroom

Awesome Attorneys did not identify specific published community or pro bono activity for this firm as of the research date.

Recognition

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a Chambers USA, Martindale-Hubbell, or Super Lawyers ranking for this firm on the pages reviewed. New York does not maintain a board-certification system for business litigation comparable to Texas’s TBLS, so Awesome Attorneys does not apply “specialist” language to any New York business litigation attorney on that basis.

New York Legal Backdrop

Commercial contract disputes in New York generally carry a six-year statute of limitations under CPLR § 213(2), while fraud claims must be brought within six years of the fraud or two years from discovery, whichever is later, under CPLR § 213(8). Shareholder and partnership disputes often draw on New York’s Business Corporation Law (including § 701 and related provisions) or the Limited Liability Company Law, depending on the entity’s structure. None of this is legal advice; a specific commercial or real estate dispute should be evaluated by a licensed New York attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

The Linden Law Group’s clearest differentiator is a willingness to take on cases larger firms might decline — per its own site, the firm is “unafraid to fight larger law firms with substantial resources” — paired with a specific, documented client account of a lengthy, contested fraud recovery. The honest trade-off is that the firm represents both plaintiffs and defendants depending on the matter, which prospective clients on either side of a dispute should understand, and Awesome Attorneys could not locate a published, itemized outcomes record or third-party peer rating to weigh against the firm’s own description. For a business owner or individual facing a genuinely contested fraud, partnership, or real estate dispute who wants a small firm willing to litigate aggressively against larger opposing counsel, that combination is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
