Building owner has been hit with a five figure penalty for failing to have a water meter on its property.  Building owner believes that it has valid defenses.  Is there some kind of service that negotiates down DEP charges?  Or does anyone have any advice on how to proceed?  Thanks.

Hi All,

One of my friends asked me to recommend a New York City based labor lawyer.
Do you have any recommendations?

There are several flavors of Labor Lawyer. Employment Liability is headlined by Vladeck. Representation of employers in facing organization by unions would call for Jackson Lewis. Negotiating an employment agreement is handled by many lawyers as to which I would call on Littler Mendelson if I had the budget.

YMMV.

Do you want one from the labor side or the employer side/ They don’t usually represent both sides.

Does anyone have a name or two for NY county civil court/small claims litigators that they refer to?  I  regularly counsel small businesses and they often have matters at or below the civil court jurisdictional limits.

Thomas,

I regularly litigate in New York and Kings County Supreme, as well as Civil Court.  However, I do not typically take on small claims work.  Please feel free to contact me if you're interested.

Very truly yours,
Andrew
