On this episode of Two Lawyers Walk Into a Bar, Brad Pollina sits down with Eric Pitter, founder of Pitter Law, PLLC, for a candid conversation about real estate litigation, the realities of practicing law in New York, and the lessons that come with nearly two decades in the courtroom.
Eric reflects on his experience representing both landlords and tenants in residential and commercial disputes, explaining how practicing on opposite sides of the same issues has shaped his approach to litigation. From challenging service and navigating eviction proceedings to representing business owners facing the loss of their commercial spaces, he discusses the technical complexities of landlord-tenant law and why understanding both perspectives can be an advantage.
Brad and Eric also explore the unpredictable nature of litigation, including the cases that don't go according to plan, the importance of preparation and courtroom composure, and why effective advocacy often means knowing when to stop pushing and let the facts speak for themselves. They share their experiences navigating judicial delays, managing client expectations, and balancing zealous representation with the practical realities of the legal system.
Along the way, Eric discusses his unexpected path to solo practice, the mentors who shaped his career, and why taking risks, learning from experience, and developing confidence in the courtroom have been essential to his growth as an attorney.
