NYC Real Estate and Litigation Attorney Ryan O. Miller and Team Join Scarinci Hollenbeck, LLC

New York City, NY – August 13, 2025 – Scarinci Hollenbeck, LLC has strengthened its Real Estate and Litigation practices with the addition of four New York City-based attorneys. Ryan Miller, who joins as a partner, is well known for his experience in both litigation and real estate transactions. The firm also welcomes Carolyn Kruk, Eric LaMons, and Scott Koop, who join as counsel.

Ryan has extensive experience representing clients in real estate and corporate transactions, as well as in complex business, real estate, and land use litigation matters. His hybrid practice enables him to offer clients unique insights and consistent counsel when disputes arise from business and real estate deals. Commercial real estate law expertise becomes increasingly valuable as real estate transactions become more complex and disputes more frequent.

Before joining Scarinci Hollenbeck, Ryan practiced at a boutique New York City firm, where he started as a law clerk in 2004 and became a partner in 2010.

“Joining Scarinci Hollenbeck marks a pivotal chapter in my legal career where I can further advance my practice and continue achieving successful outcomes for my clients at an even larger scale. Scarinci Hollenbeck’s commitment to integrity, innovation, and client-focused results deeply resonates with my professional ethos and track record,” said Ryan. “I am eager to leverage the remarkable platform and collaborative culture at Scarinci Hollenbeck to deliver exceptional value and service to our clients.”

Ryan’s colleagues joining the firm are also highly regarded. Carolyn Kruk brings experience in complex business and real estate litigation, as well as civil rights and public-sector defense. Meanwhile, Eric LaMons maintains a multifaceted commercial litigation practice with experience in real estate disputes, financial agreements, international contracts, and arbitration. Finally, Scott Koop has built a strong practice representing individuals, developers, investors, lenders, landlords, tenants, and business owners across both transactional and litigation matters.

“As we continue to advance our growth initiative in New York City, we are excited to welcome Ryan and his colleagues to the firm,” said partner Ken Hollenbeck. “They are all very experienced and highly skilled practitioners, and their presence will significantly strengthen the excellent reputations that our Litigation and Real Estate practices have built over the years. I look forward to working with all of them.”
