Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Susan P.):

Ken,

I joined the class action suit with Lowell in March. You can go to this website - NYSCEF - NYCOURTS.GOV - New York State Unified Court System, the following will show up on the screen:

https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/HomePage

At the bottom of the page - click Supreme Court, that will take you to the next page where it will say "search as a guest" then type in index# 654023/2015 and it will show you all the motions that Lowell Sidney has filed. The last one being 6/16/2016.

There have been several comments on this forum about whether or not he is perpetrating a scam because he is charging $300.00 to join the class -action suit. I did send him an e-mail asking if he still was taking on clients and expressed some of the concerns that people have had about his fee and his qualifications to represent this type of case. This is what he replied,

"Thanks, Sue - yes, feel free to mention that I am still taking on clients. I got into law to help pursue justice, and this case was brought to me - it sounded like an interesting David vs. Goliath case because every good litigator wants to have those sort of odds - makes the victory much more rewarding. "

I know from my research that he has been on both sides of the court room both as a defense attorney and as a prosecutor.

This is just my opinion; I have spent many frustrating YEARS trying to, #1- get The Manhattan Club to buy back the timeshare (which was promised when they sold it to us), #2 -sell this timeshare out right, and #3 - to find a lawyer to get out of this timeshare, all in vain. I don't know if he is our "knight in shining armor" but he is the only one that I have found that is willing to take up our cause. After much searching, I could not find any lawyers that specialized in timeshares so I am willing to spend $300 for a chance at getting this resolved.
