Logan R. D. Stagnitto, Esq. is a Junior Partner of the firm who focuses his practice on matters involving Landlord-Tenant Law, Community Association Law, Discrimination, and Litigation in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Prior to joining Griffin Alexander, P.C., Mr. Stagnitto clerked for the Honorable Francis R. Hodgson, Jr., P.J.Ch.P., in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Ocean County Vicinage, Chancery Division, General Equity Part. He focused primarily on foreclosures, real property matters, and complex contract cases. Before that, Mr. Stagnitto worked as a summer associate for a general practice firm representing clients in civil matters. He is a member of the New Jersey and New York Bars.

 In addition to attending court for landlord-tenant matters, Mr. Stagnitto conducts lease reviews, performs in-depth legal research, and handles more intricate and nuanced cases. Among other significant victories, Mr. Stagnitto was able to fast-track a business dispute into court via an order to show cause, eventually winning hundreds of thousands of dollars for his client via a motion for summary judgment. He routinely manages matters involving complaints filed through the Division on Civil Rights. While certain evictions were suspended during the height of the pandemic, Mr. Stagnitto assisted the firm in switching the focus of many cases from eviction to ejectment.

As part of the Litigation Department, he has demonstrated exemplary skills and experience in handling discrimination complaints filed landlords and community associations, successfully resolving matters with New Jersey’s Division on Civil Rights (the “DCR”) and county agencies throughout New York State.

He is also adept at disputes in front of municipal boards—in particular, rent control board hearings.

Mr. Stagnitto likewise utilizes his skills in legal research to digest and dissect new laws as they pass—e.g., the Fair Chance in Housing Act; the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act; and others—applying that knowledge to guide his clients in establishing new procedures and navigating new legal landscapes. In the same vein, Mr. Stagnitto assists in creating and presenting seminars to educate community managers in compliance and new legal developments.
