Attorney Andrew Lieb joined CBS NY morning news today to discuss the latest court proceeding involving the Gilgo Beach suspect, Rex Heuermann. Today's hearing seemed to be procedural, but there could be surprises ahead, considering the ongoing investigation and potential for a superseding indictment with more charges. Unlikely that he will make bail, given the severity of the charges and concerns for his family's safety. The Gilgo Beach murder case has captivated our region, and we're hopeful for a fair trial leading to justice for the victims.

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from FOX to analyze Trump facing new charges in the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Jack Smith's January 6 probe shows an imminent indictment, likely next week. The Mar-a-Lago case got even more damning with a new defendant and 450 years potentially in sentencing. Smith strategically timed the superseding indictment to trap Trump, and the evidence is voluminous, including texts and audio recordings. Getting underlings to turn on the boss is crucial. Prosecutorial expertise is evident in Smith's approach, making it hard for Trump to escape this case. More indictments might follow in DC.
Attorney Andrew Lieb joined Newsmax to analyze Hunter Biden's plea deal unraveling in court. Chair Smith from the Ways and Means Committee sought to raise concerns about the investigations with an amicus brief. However, the judge deferred and demanded clarity on the plea deal's immunity scope. This is part of her duty under Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 11. We have questions but no answers yet, so the investigations must continue. It seems they aimed for a deal in principle without putting the details on paper, raising concerns from a legal standpoint.
Attorney Andrew Lieb was featured in The New York Times, shedding light on a troubling discrimination case in a 55+ community. The homeowners association issued a rule permitting single owners to bring guests to the pool but restricting married couples to only bringing their spouses. Such unequal treatment may potentially fall under housing discrimination, protected by the New York State Human Rights Law. Read the article here: https://www.nytimes.com/

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from Fox to delve into the intricacies of the Ethan Crumbley case, where he stands as a school shooter facing a Miller Hearing. The crux of this hearing transcends the mere evaluation of the crime committed; rather, it necessitates a meticulous examination of crucial factors. These include the defendant's age at the time of the incident, the surrounding circumstances that culminated in this tragic event, and most importantly, the potential for rehabilitation.
Throughout the interview he discussed Rehabilitation vs. Punishment. Is the primary goal of our criminal justice system to solely seek retribution and deterrence, or should it earnestly emphasize the opportunity for redemption and reformation? This introspective inquiry challenges the foundation of our societal approach to addressing criminal behavior, especially in cases involving juveniles like Crumbley.

Breaking the Silence on Race Discrimination
Check out this powerful story about our client, Julio Germain, who faced shocking racism and discrimination at the Suffolk County Department of Public Works.

Julio bravely reported the misconduct, but management ignored his complaints and even retaliated by denying him promotions.

As the law firm representing Julio, we firmly stand against any form of discrimination, and we won't rest until justice is served.

Attorney Andrew Lieb joined a Newsmax panel discussion about chronic tardiness at the workplace.
To qualify for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a condition must be a statutorily recognized disability. Currently, chronic tardiness related to mental health doesn't meet this criterion.
If recognized, it must then be proven that the employer doesn't face undue hardship due to the employee's unpredictable timekeeping.
Lieb advised employers against bending rules for certain groups to avoid creating a reverse discrimination scenario. He advocated for strict, fair policies that benefit all employees and ensure genuine accommodations for recognized disabilities aren't undermined.

In a recent interview with Fox 5 NY, Attorney Andrew Lieb discussed the potential implications of New Jersey's lawsuit against New York's proposed congestion pricing plan. If New York fails to take the environmental impact study seriously, the repercussions could be profound.
A judge may not only discard the congestion pricing plan but also the resulting delays from the lawsuit could hinder New York's ability to implement the plan, even if eventually approved.
