Civil Litigation

When the other side doesn’t honor its agreement, we enforce your contractual rights — recovering damages, compelling performance, and unwinding transactions built on broken promises. When you’re the one accused, we scrutinize the contract’s formation, terms, and the claimant’s own performance to defeat meritless claims before they gain traction.

• Damages & specific performance
• Defense of meritless claims
• Settlement leverage through litigation readiness

Full representation in New York Civil Court — pleadings, discovery, motion practice, trial, and enforcement of judgments. Civil Court moves fast and rewards preparation; we arrive with the record mastered and the law briefed, whether the dispute is a five-figure collection matter or a complex commercial disagreement.

• Pleadings through trial
• Discovery & subpoena practice
• Judgment enforcement

High-stakes litigation in New York Supreme Court, handled with the preparation and precision of a former prosecutor. We have litigated injunctions, commercial disputes, and property matters in Supreme Court — including winning a preliminary injunction against unfair business practices in Kings County — and we prepare every case as if it will be tried.

• Commercial & property litigation
• Injunction practice
• Appeals coordination

Cases are frequently won in the deposition room. We conduct thorough, strategic examinations before trial that pin down testimony, expose inconsistencies, and build the record for summary judgment — and we rigorously prepare our own clients so they testify accurately and confidently.

• Strategic examinations of adverse parties
• Witness preparation
• Deposition-based summary judgment records

Persuasive motion practice positions a case to win before trial. We brief and argue motions to dismiss, for summary judgment, to compel or resist discovery, and everything between — each supported by exhaustive research and a record assembled with the endgame in mind.

• Motions to dismiss & for summary judgment
• Discovery motions
• Opposition practice

When your legal matter cannot wait for the ordinary motion calendar, an Order to Show Cause puts it before a judge immediately. We draft, file, and argue OSC motions — compiling the necessary evidence and affidavits and requesting temporary relief to prevent immediate harm before a full hearing can be held.

• Same-day emergency applications
• Supporting affidavits & exhibits
• Interim relief pending hearing

A preliminary injunction stops unlawful conduct while your case proceeds — preserving the status quo so victory at trial still means something. Our office won a preliminary injunction for clients against unfair business practices in Kings County Supreme Court, and we know the showing of merit, irreparable harm, and equities the courts demand.

• Preliminary injunction motions
• Status-quo protection during litigation
• Undertaking & bond strategy

When harm is hours away — an illegal lockout, a property seizure, assets about to disappear — a temporary restraining order provides immediate, same-day protection. We move on an emergency basis, presenting the court with the focused proof it needs to freeze the situation until both sides can be heard.

• Illegal lockout restoration
• Asset & property freezes
• Emergency same-day filings

Often the best litigation is the one avoided. Before a dispute reaches the courthouse, we negotiate firm, enforceable resolutions — settlement agreements, workouts, and structured compromises — backed by the credible threat of a litigator the other side knows will try the case if talks fail.

• Pre-suit demand & response strategy
• Structured settlements & workouts
• Release and confidentiality terms
