School Bus camera irregularities
by Kenneth Cooperstein 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

Client got a $250 citation for school bus violation in Westbury. Oyster Bay school bus appears to stop on turn lane at a place where Rte 25 is six lanes across (plus two turn lanes), 50mph, and there is no light or crosswalk. There are only businesses where it stops. First, it is insanely dangerous to expect cars to stop in eight lanes of a busy road. Second, the circumstances suggest that Oyster Bay is using empty school buses to troll for violations. The video shows four cars passing, none stopping (or probably seeing). I have never seen cars stopping for a school bus on Rte 25 busy sections. Client could pay the $250, or remove from TOB enforcement court to federal court alleging constitutional violations (vagueness, excessive fines) and counterclaim for RICO violation, and maybe a class action joined for good measure. Anyone start down this path and can share information?

Suffolk Probate and Personal Injury
by Nick DeFraia 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

Hello all, I have a personal injury matter (MVA) in New York where the client passed away after retaining our firm. A petition was filed in Suffolk Surrogate's Court for limited letters of administration (appointing his niece). This action is still pending and limited letters have not been issued. The SOL is coming up to file the S&C in the personal injury matter (tolling wouldn't apply since it's been more than a year since the client's death). In order to preserve our case, we filed a S&C, with the niece as the proposed administrator. Defense counsel has now filed a motion to dismiss based on lack of standing (since she's not appointed yet). Does anyone know what to do in this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Nick DeFraia

I’m reaching out to gauge interest in collaborating or partnering on a potential wrongful termination and discrimination matter involving a former NYPD detective lieutenant.

If this is of interest, please feel free to reach out. Thank you! Sincerely, Joseph D.
