This is what fighting for the “little guy” looks like.
Our client—a small church in Brooklyn—was forced out of its own property, and its sacred objects were destroyed by its parent church. The trial court dismissed the case, holding that the First Amendment barred the court from even hearing the dispute.
We refused to accept that outcome.
We appeald: this was not a religious dispute—it was a matter of fundamental property rights. And we prevailed.
The Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s decision, with costs.
This victory didn’t come easy. There were moments when resources were stretched thin and the weight of the fight tested everyone involved. But we kept going—because justice for our client mattered.
To every solo practitioner and small firm taking on powerful opponents: do not underestimate your ability to win. Persistence, clarity, and conviction can change the outcome.
Keep fighting.
