Three years of litigation. A motion to dismiss on the eve of decision. And ultimately, a complete defense victory.

FBPF secured a discontinuance with prejudice for a commercial moving and storage client in New York City Civil Court, with no payment or settlement contribution from the client.

The parties also exchanged mutual releases, with protective covenants designed to provide finality and prevent the dispute from being re-agitated.

🌨️ Did you know?
In New York, slipping and falling on ice during an ongoing snowstorm does not automatically mean a property owner is legally responsible.
The timing of the storm, when the dangerous condition developed, and whether the property owner had a reasonable opportunity to address it can all matter.
If you experience a slip and fall on ice or snow in New York, don't assume you have no potential claim. Understanding your rights starts with understanding the circumstances of the accident.

A significant result in a New York construction injury case.
FBPF, led by partner Thomas Papain, together with trial counsel Nicholas Papain of Sullivan Papain Block McManus Coffinas & Cannavo P.C., secured an $850,000 settlement for a construction worker who suffered a serious leg injury when a Baker scaffold collapsed.
After securing summary judgment on liability under Labor Law §240(1) and preparing the matter for trial, the case settled on the eve of trial.
We also recognize the contributions of FBPF partner Howard Balsam and paralegal Natalie Ferreira in this matter.

Sometimes the best client is the one you decide not to take.

A smooth retainer doesn’t always mean a smooth case. The way someone approaches the relationship from day one can tell you a lot about what comes next. Knowing when to trust the red flags can save you from a lot of headaches later.

Thinking about litigation? In New York, knowing the law is only half the job. You’ve got to read the room, handle strong personalities, solve problems, and know when to push and when to find common ground.

If you can do that, litigation might be your game. đź—˝

Some Fridays are for slowing down. Others are for getting it done.

Three deals. A major litigation deadline. A city that’s already checked out for the summer.

But when clients are counting on you, the work doesn’t pause. You find a way to keep moving, solve the problem in front of you, and get the job done.

That’s the reality of practicing law in New York.

Litigation is unpredictable. One day you’re responding to a routine move from opposing counsel, and the next, you’re dealing with something you never saw coming.

The key is knowing how to adapt, stay focused, and keep moving forward when the pressure is on.

Because in New York litigation, you’re going to take hits. The difference is what you do next.
