From the TLF archives (2019) - When 7-11's corporate Goliath threatened their lease, the owners of a third-generation mom-and-pop delicatessen were in for a fight for their lives. The owner of the property left the matter in the hands of the Town of Hempstead Board of Zoning Appeals to rule on 7-11's variances. The Toner Law Firm was called in to help. Mr. Toner had previously served on the Village of Sea Cliff BZA and as counsel to the Manorhaven, Port Washington BZA, in addition to serving two terms as Manorhaven's municipal attorney. (Seated here on the right, next to Tulip Deli owner Vincent Giordano.) The story was picked up by the media (See comments), and hundreds of members of the community showed up in support of a small piece of Americana.

We won't bore you with the details, but the best pastrami sandwich on Long Island can still be enjoyed today, at the Tulip Deli in Franklin Square. Give them a try and say hello to our friend Vinny. Tell him "James Toner sent you!"

Police Body Cameras, the “Third Dimension” of Criminal Law.

A criminal case is no longer dependent upon the recollection of witnesses at trial. Everything an arrestee says and does during an arrest is recorded by the police from various angles to be used later as evidence against the accused at trial. From a DWI arrest to a minor possession of a controlled substance or more, police body cameras are a game-changer in criminal trial work.
