What I'm reading is Hollywood movie material. From the NJ Herald: According to the suit, Corbishley was facing arson charges in November of 1987. He hired criminal defense attorney Robert Hollis, who was at the time running a national prostitution ring. Hollis later pleaded guilty to federal...

It is a reasonable question to ask whether someone who knew they had coronovirus or misled others as to their condition may be liable for transmission of a communicable disease, especially one with significantly harmful potential. For example, I the law takes a stance with regard to the spread...

He was a real hero here in NYC. I remember seeing him pitch once at Shea Stadium, back when tickets to games would be available by collecting milk carton UPCs. He was a consistent great on the field, served as a good role model off the field and a player of a kind we don't see often today...

I've been involved in some lobbying and grant writing / funding projects. In the circumstances where my law degree helped was specifically in lobbying to Congress regarding proposed Internet advertising related regulations. The connection with law is immediately apparent. In other non-legal...

I've seen people speaking all the time in New York City parks for a variety of reasons, exercising their freedom of expression such as dance or music in Central Park. For many years I lived right next to the 72nd Street Concourse and you'd see a jazz band play regularly at the entrance to the...

Thanks for contacting us privately. I think that it's probably easier to send an email directly to respective sites although I understand asking questions on the forum in the hope of obtaining proper protocol. We are re-opening the law journal again for bona fide legal articles, which are...

If they are admitting to you orally that they don't have evidence that you are responsible for the debt, I might consider a simple response. I am not you and am not privy to the conversation or all the facts of the case. This not being legal advice. It is just my personal opinion about what I...

I don't know what is motivating management to generate these letters but I'm not sure I'd ignore them. In co-ops and condos these letters are usually the first step towards assessing fees, etc. You may want to create a paper trail to protect yourself. If you have issues with the neighbor...

Some of the Mayor's bans have already been legally challenged. Religious groups sued Mayor Bill de Blasio, Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York Attorney General Letitia James, on bans related to religious services (such as limiting the number of participants to 10) that don't take into account...

I looked through this and it's difficult to even try to answer without appreciate the entirety of the facts. An attorney familiar with the situation should be able to answer this or make a determination.

There are absurd legal battles but some are legitimate and have been won. The District of Columbia was sued over the Black Lives Matter street art and our Mayor here in New York City, Bill de Blasio, decided to follow suit and do it several times, prompting the question if someone will do the...

In New York City we have our own special mess, having perhaps the highest population density in the land to manage along with many strong personalities. A notable number of people are doing whatever they want, casting aside barriers and safety measures with police departments in a...

These days in New York City it's also about protecting yourself more than just from COVID-19!

I am unclear about who actually canceled the reception. I would consider this an issue and perhaps I missed it. Were they willing ready and able to perform? Did they perform for other parties after phase 2 opened? At one point it seemed as though they would go forward but only with 10...

Thinking this through, what is the benefit to you by talking this out with a skilled attorney who is working against you - to convince them not to file a lawsuit? If they have demands, they can make them to you in writing. As it's civil, they are looking for money damages for something...

Compilations of songs can be subject to copyright. An image of a poster is likely subject to copyright law. Fair use is an exception where a portion may be usable but it's often not in the context of exploiting a substantial portion of the copyrighted material for pure commercial gain as is...

I was about to investigate this court ruling in New York City regarding the issue of smoking in an apartment building. ‘Chain-smoking’ NYC tenant can keep puffing in apartment: judge

Disappointing. Here is an interesting article on New York City graffiti back in the day. At least there was some talent too. Dicing with death: the original New York graffiti artists – in pictures

I agree with you , the question primarily being WHEN to pay . Even if they still have their jobs and can afford to pay without issue, they want to take advantage of an almost 4 month interest free loan which is subsidized by the landlord. They have more incentive not to pay because they don't...

Good question. I'm looking into some of the issues when I have time, including all the #cancelrent bills being floated with wild popular support, which is not surprising. There is a lack of clarity coming from our politicians and news media as to what any of these bills mean and what are...
