Civil Litigation

Actions, Trials & Appeals

EHADP represents clients through all stages of civil litigation, from the planning and commencement of an action, through motions and trials, to the briefing and argument of appeals.

Our attorneys have appeared as counsel of record in over 400 published opinions from State and Federal courts, including the N.Y. Court of Appeals, Appellate Division, Supreme Court, and Surrogate’s Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Eastern and Southern District Courts of New York.

Our caseload involves diverse subject areas, but we are selective in the cases we bring and defend. Some of the firm’s primary areas of litigation include:

  • Real property contract disputes
  • Title disputes
  • Will contests and other Surrogate’s Court litigation
  • Zoning and environmental litigation (Article 78s)
  • Regulatory takings and constitutional claims
  • Business disputes.

Regardless of the type of case, our approach is the same:  we research and analyze every feasible claim and defense, draft thorough and well-supported motions, prepare for all of the twists and turns of trials, and brief our cases and appeals to a rigorous standard of professional advocacy.   As a result, the firm’s cases have generated decisions that have become seminal precedent in the areas of land use, title, real estate, and commercial law.
