Gabriel began representing tenants in eviction defense in early 2016 as a staff attorney and later senior attorney at BOOM!Health Legal Services during the launch of NYC’s right to counsel pilot program. In 2018, BOOM!Health – a Bronx organization dedicated to providing critical social services such as harm reduction and clinical therapy – merged with Mobilization for Justice in New York. Gabriel joined MFJ as a supervising attorney leading a team of civil public defenders in the Bronx as part of NYC’s Universal Access to Counsel for tenants. In late 2020 Gabriel joined CLA’s Housing Unit, and now he works in the Fair Housing Unit.
