Proper Legal Representation Provided to the Pavia Family.

In February 2007, I entered the Pavia-Couri litigation without the benefit of having participated in the previous four years of litigation. Nevertheless,  I handled the pre-trial hearings, the three week jury trial (against both Mr. Couri and his wife, who was represented by counsel), all post-trial motions, and all preliminary appellate applications. I obtained a dismissal of two new post-trial complaints filed against the Pavias by Mr. Couri. Evicted Mr. Couri from the Pavia apartment. Found Mr. Couri's assets in the form of two insurance policies. Served restraining orders upon the insurance companies, successfully litigated two motions to enforce the restraining orders, and collected $160,000 on the 2007 Pavia judgment and the 1995 Helmsley Carlton House judgment (one of Mr. Couri's previous landlords) (as was the Westchester County Country Club). In short, I succeeded at every stage of the litigation.

In the end, the Pavia Family residence was restored to the sanctuary it once was. The Pavias could not be more deserving. They were a pleasure to work with under what can only be described as very difficult circumstances. They are fine and genuine people. It was a pleasure and an honor to represent them.

Mr. Couri failed to pursue an appeal of the jury's verdict. Repeating his claims now in the court of public opinion does not make them any less false.  Especially after a jury finding they were without merit and a Sheriff's eviction of him from the Pavia apartment.
