Decisions of Interest

While we are a general practice law firm with a portfolio that includes not only education law, but also bankruptcy, wills and trusts, municipal law, business law, and other areas, we are proud to report our longstanding relationship with one of New York States largest non-city school districts, which is located in Rockland County.  We have served as its Legal Counsel since prior to 1949.  As such we have been involved in many important cases during the course of our representation.  Below are some decisions of interest from our time as its counsel.
