Greetings!
2008 is bringing continued growth to our
practice as our land use/zoning and
litigation clients increase substantially.
We've won important federal and state court
victories for our clients while maintaining
the attention to detail and person service
that sets the firm apart.
I'm particularly
pleased that we are now representing clients
in litigations in Kings, New York, Orange,
Rockland, Queens and Westchester counties.
We have also prevailed in our advocacy on appeal
in the Second Department.
As we continue
to grow, I remain grateful to our clients and
friends who drive our quest for excellence.
As always, please feel to conta
ct me on any
matter of interest.

| Karben Tries Case to Successful Verdict in Federal Court Action |
 |
|
Ryan Karben successfully tried to verdict a long
running
Manhattan
real estate dispute in federal court that had
gone unresolved by rulings
in four prior courts. The judgment awarded
to Karben's client restores the client's
possession of real property illegally
occupied for years.
The long-running dispute in Danyluk v.
Glashow involved a tenant's continued
possession of a professional office
condominium despite a lease that
expired years prior. A city Housing Court
voided an earlier attempt at eviction,
finding traditional landlord-tenant law
inapplicable to the case of a "vendee in
possession," that is a tenant who had a
contract to purchase the leasehold
property.
Judge P. Kevin Castel awarded judgment
to
Danyluk after trial, finding that the record
indicated a prolonged and unlawful occupancy of the
premises by the defendant. Judge Castel awarded
use and occupancy for the improper holdover period
as well.
The case number is 1:06-cv-8136.
