Negotiations is a skill and art-form that a learned attorney in this craft will make a significant difference. Elias N. Fillas, Esq. is that attorney where he successfully negotiated a settlement at a mediation in the amount of One Million Four Hundred Thousand ($1,400,000.00) Dollars for a construction worker that was injured on a job site notwithstanding the existence of surveillance video allegedly contradicting his disability from the accident.
Tenacious is the best way to describe Larry Badash, Esq. after successfully getting the Appellate Division: Second Department to reverse a Supreme Court: Queens County Order. After the merits of a case is determined by the Supreme Court by way of motion practice, most attorneys fold. It is more work, more expense and the outcome is questionable. The firm absorbs the additional work and expense at no cost to the client. Larry pitched this appeal to the firm on the grounds that the decision was outright wrong, and it must be appealed notwithstanding the value of the case but a concept to make sure every client gets their day in court. Thank you, Larry who leads the firm’s philosophy by example.

CPLR Guru, Albert R. Matuza, Jr., Esq. obtained a favorable decision today from the Appellate Division: Second Department reversing a Supreme Court: Kings County order. CPLR is the abbreviation for The Civil Practice Laws and Rules that governs legal procedure in the New York State Unified Court System. The underlying motion practice and the appellate brief in this matter takes you through core concepts of procedure that schools you in motion practice in New York. This case displays Al’s Guru aptitude in the CPLR that fully resuscitated this matter for our client. Excellent job, Al.
