  • Hello and Thank You for Your Interest. I Want to Provide You with Information
    Hello and thank you for your interest. I want to provide you with information about my legal background. I have been practicing law in state and federal trial and appellate courts since 1988. Although my interests and experience run a wide range, my primary areas of focus center around civil rights work, employment and labor issues, and protecting the rights of individuals whose rights have even violated by others, typically governmental actors and large private employers. I have extensive trial experience in these types of cases, and I invite you to look up the numerous reported cases that I have handled. A sample of several of the cases I have handled is attached, and these cases involve various civil, employment and commercial matters, including constitutional rights, discrimination, employment law and sundry types of commercial disputes, such as antitrust, securities, and contract cases. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. 14-CV-8065 (VEC) UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK Airday v. City of New York 406 F.

    TESTIMONY REGARDING Three-Quarter House Task Force Proposed Int. No. 153-A PRESENTED BEFORE: THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL’S COMMITTEE ON GENERAL WELFARE AND COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND BUILDINGS PRESENTED BY: PATRICK TYRRELL STAFF ATTORNEY MOBILIZATION FOR JUSTICE, INC. APRIL 29, 2019 ______________________________________________________________________________ MOBILIZATION FOR JUSTICE, INC. 100 William Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10038 (212) 417-3700 www.mobilizationforjustice.org I. INTRODUCTION Mobilization for Justice (“MFJ”) envisions a society in which there is equal justice for all. Our mission is to achieve social justice, prioritizing the needs of people who are low-income, disenfranchised, or have disabilities. We do this by providing the highest quality direct civil legal assistance, conducting community education and building partnerships, engaging in policy advocacy, and bringing impact litigation. MFJ has long recognized the importance of protecting tenants’ rights in three-quarter houses through advocacy, litigation, and organizing. Since 2009, MFJ has provided legal assistance and representation to three-quarter house tenants through eviction defense and affirmative litigation. MFJ convened the Three-Quarter House Reform Coalition1 to conceptualize and secure meaningful changes in the policies that have spurred the growth of the three-quarter house industry. Additionally, MFJ partners with the Three-Quarter House Tenant Organizing Project (“TOP”), a tenants’ union of current and former three-quarter house tenants working to improve housing conditions and put an end to the illegal treatment of tenants. We appreciate the Joint Committee’s important work to elevate the discussion concerning Three-Quarter Houses. People living in three-quarter homes face countless, compounding challenges on a daily basis.

According to plaintiff, Hector Mendez, on May 25, 2009, at approximately 10:40 p.m., he was walking down a public sidewalk in the Bronx on his way to meet a woman named Sandra at a Memorial Day barbecue. He inquired of a passerby walking toward him from the opposite direction, later identified as Jamal Joseph, whether he had seen “a white girl . with long hair.” Shortly thereafter, several police officers “rolled up” in an unmarked vehicle. Plaintiff was told to freeze, whereupon two officers exited the vehicle. They threw plaintiff and Joseph against the wall of a nearby apartment building. When plaintiff inquired why he was being stopped, he was told to “shut up.” Plaintiff was handcuffed, read his rights, and transported to the precinct. On May 25, 2009, the day of plaintiff’s arrest, Officers Shea and Moreno and their supervisor, Lieutenant Davis, were on patrol in the vicinity.

  • Case Holding Judgment Creditor Not Liable for Damage Marshal Does to Third Party's Property in Course of Levy Offers Opportuni
    No. 555 March 2006 CASE HOLDING JUDGMENT CREDITOR NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE MARSHAL DOES TO THIRD PARTY’S PROPERTY IN COURSE OF LEVY OFFERS OPPORTUNITY TO TREAT MARSHAL’S ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES AND LIABILITIES IN GENERAL As long as the judgment creditor (JC) relies entirely on the marshal’s office to levy on the judgment, damage done to the property of a third person in the course of the marshal’s levy is the responsibility of the marshal, not the JC. Hence an action by the third person to make the JC pay for the damages fails. Cla-Mil East Holding Corp. v. Medallion Funding Corp., .... N.Y.3d ...., .... N.Y.S.2d .... (Feb. 9, 2006). The JC in this case had financed the judgment debtor’s (JD’s) purchase of laundromat equipment, which stood as collateral for the financing. The equipment was located on premises that JD leased from landlord L. When JD defaulted on its payments to JC, JC secured a judgment against JD and used the New York City marshal’s office to enforce the judgment. The marshal proceeded to levy on the equipment. In the course of disconnecting the pipes, wires, and air vents so as to free the equipment for removal, the marshal allegedly damaged the premises. For that, L claimed that JC bore liability and sued JC. No liability, rules the Court of Appeals in an opinion by Judge Rosenblatt. The marshal (or sheriff or other enforcement officer) in such circumstances is not the agent of the JC, but of the government, and is bonded to protect third parties in cases like this.

Pol'y & Ethics J. 699) Cardozo Public Law, Policy and Ethics Journal January, 2006 Symposium: The New York City Housing Court in the 21st Century: Can It Better Address the Problems before It? *699 WHY PEOPLE WHO FACE LOSING THEIR HOMES IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS MUST HAVE A RIGHT TO COUNSEL Andrew Scherer [FNa1] Copyright © 2006 Yeshiva University; Andrew Scherer "To no one will We sell, to no one will We deny or delay, right or justice." -- Magna Carta (1215) [FN1] "The right to be heard would be, in many cases, of little avail if it did not comprehend the right to be heard by coun- sel." -- Powell v. Alabama (1932) [FN2] "Everyone needs a place where they can live with security, with dignity, and with effective protection against the elements. Everyone needs a place which is a home." -- Nelson Mandela (2003) [FN3] *700 Introduction This paper argues in favor of a simple proposition: people who face losing their homes in legal proceedings must have a right to be represented by counsel in those proceedings, whether or not they can pay for counsel. Public policy, the fair ad- ministration of justice, constitutional and statutory law, and a growing international consensus on the human right to a fair hearing, all support this proposition. Specifically, this paper argues that New York City residents who face eviction in pro- ceedings brought before New York City's Housing Court have a right to counsel at the government's expense if they are un- able to afford counsel.

In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, to vacate judgments and stay enforcement of execution on 67 notices of violation issued by the respondent New York City Department of Buildings, the petitioner appeals from an order and judgment (one paper) of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Reginald A.
