Kucker Marino Winiarsky & Bittens

What Kucker Marino Winiarsky & Bittens does

Kucker Marino Winiarsky & Bittens, LLP (KMWB) is a Manhattan-based, full-service real estate law firm founded in 1984 by Alan Kucker and Saul Bruh. The firm exclusively serves property owners, real estate developers, managing agents, and cooperative/condominium boards across New York City's five boroughs, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), and Westchester County. KMWB operates across six practice areas: Rent Regulation & Administrative Law, Landlord-Tenant Litigation, Commercial Litigation & Business Dispute Resolution, Real Estate Transactions & Advisory, Labor & Employment, and Loft Law. The firm maintains a bench of more than 43 attorneys across partners, of-counsel, and associates, and is a member of both the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY).

The firm's client roster includes premier NYC real estate owners and developers such as LeFrak, The Brodsky Organization, and A&E Real Estate Holdings, alongside hundreds of other property owners and managing agents. Its go-to-market is relationship- and reputation-led, sustained through attorney-authored articles, seminars, webinars (including co-hosted sessions with Marcus & Millichap and Fontas Advisors), podcast appearances, and consistent earned media coverage in outlets such as the New York Times, Crain's New York, Law360, The Real Deal, and Gothamist. The firm's proprietary technology footprint is minimal but includes the KMWB Rent Calculator App, a mobile tool created by founding partner Alan Kucker that was the first app designed to assist landlords with calculating rent-stabilized rents.

KMWB is structured as a limited liability partnership, privately held by its partner group, with no parent company, institutional investor, or private equity ownership disclosed. Revenue is derived from professional services fees billed per matter/engagement, with pricing custom-quoted based on complexity and scope. The firm has pursued modest growth through targeted lateral partner hires (Stacie Bryce Feldman, Lisa Breier Urban, Paul Alessandri, Bessie Hadjigeorghi, Vladimir Favilukis), the launch of a Labor & Employment practice led by partner Jack Malley, and active engagement in Housing Court reform, including a partner appointment to the NYC Housing Court Practice and Policy Advisory Committee and appellate advocacy on Housing Court delays.
