Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Craig R.):

J. T.,

He is not.

He is trying to work for the Owners who hired him in a parallel way using the same basic approach for each case. He is trying to keep costs down, sign up as many owners as he can (including me), and, as part of the deal, he also keeps any bonus awards such as punitive damages.

While I can't remember the details, a class action was a non-starter, and he could not afford to work on a contingent-only basis (neither could any other attorney).

While he may or may not be successful, this is the only viable approach the owners have right now. For all the hundreds of pages of venting, nobody has a better approach. The State of New York has no more interest in the case, and the city never did have an interest.
