We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the Nassau County Bar Association on the Future Advocates Elementary and Middle School Mock Trial Program, which held its first of many culmination mock trials at Nassau County Supreme Court on May 6th.

This outstanding program helps teach young students the fundamentals of trial practice and provides valuable insight into how our justice system works — fostering confidence, critical thinking, and civic understanding at an early age.

We are especially proud of our attorneys who volunteered their time and worked with elementary and middle schools across Nassau County to help make this program a success.

Thank you to everyone involved for supporting such a meaningful educational initiative and inspiring the next generation of advocates.

We are pleased to share that Partner, Sam Bifulco, has secured a Special Use Permit from the Town of Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals for Nana’s Wonderland, marking an exciting step forward for this growing, family-focused business.

Nana’s Wonderland has established a strong presence with successful locations in Little Neck, Massapequa Park, and Jackson Heights. The expansion into Suffolk County reflects both the demand for high-quality children’s recreational spaces and the strength of their operating model.

Nana’s Wonderland is designed as a clean, safe, and engaging indoor environment where children, from infancy through age 12, can play, explore, and develop, while caregivers enjoy a comfortable and welcoming setting. The facility will offer structured weekday programming, including open play sessions, along with weekend birthday parties and community-oriented events.

The space will feature imaginative play areas, such as fire stations and markets, alongside physical activity elements like obstacle courses, slides, and sensory play zones. Dedicated areas for younger children and private party rooms will further enhance the experience for families.

Uses such as Nana’s Wonderland highlights the importance of providing recreational opportunities for residents, further enhancing the vitality of surrounding residential, retail, and office uses in the area, and reinforces the overall functionality, appeal, and land use diversification of the community.

Congratulations to the entire Nana’s Wonderland team on securing this approval and continuing to bring thoughtful, community-oriented recreation to Long Island.

Firm Partners, Andrew Roth and Joseph R. Bjarnson, obtained a preliminary injunction to prevent the Firm’s client, Mount Sinai Pentecostal Church of Hicksville, NY, from losing their Church property to a tax lien purchaser after more than $1 million in real property taxes were unlawfully assessed against the Church. In the case, the Firm argued, among other things, that the Church was mandatorily exempt from real property taxation under the New York State Real Property Tax Law and that any taxes assessed against the Church property should be declared void. Nassau County opposed the Firm’s application for a preliminary injunction and sought to have the case dismissed. The Honorable Randy Sue Marber, Justice of the New York State Supreme Court, County of Nassau, found that injunctive relief was appropriate because the Church had a “high likelihood of success on the merits” of its claim seeking to have the real property taxes assessed against its property declared void and denied the motion to dismiss.

Firm Member, Elisabetta T. Coschignano, and Partner, Joseph R. Bjarnson, successfully defended the Firm’s client, Sunrise Development, Inc., in an appeal before the Second Department of the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division. After the Firm assisted Sunrise in obtaining the necessary area variances to develop an assisted living facility, opposing property owners sued Sunrise seeking to have the variances annulled in an Article 78 proceeding on the grounds that the variance approval was, among other things, arbitrary and would result in an undesirable change in the community. The proceeding was ultimately dismissed by the trial court. On appeal, Elisabetta and Joseph successfully argued that the trial court’s decision dismissing the proceeding should be affirmed.

On March 18 Firm Partners, Joshua Brookstein and Erika Colavito Conti introduced the foundations of our trial system for students in grades 4-6 at the Merrick Public Library .

In this fun and interactive program, students stepped into a “courtroom” to act out a trial based on the beloved story of Cinderella. Through this creative scenario, students learned the fundamentals of our court system, including key roles and the trial process, while building confidence in public speaking and teamwork.

It was an incredibly rewarding experience for our attorneys to help make learning about the law engaging and accessible for young students.
