Seven Newman Ferrara Attorneys Among List of New York's Super Lawyers and Top 100

Newman Ferrara LLP ( www.nfllp.com) announced today that named partner Lucas A. Ferrara has been rated one of New York's "Top 100" legal professionals in the 2014 edition of New York Metro Super Lawyers Magazine. In addition, firm partners Jarred I. Kassenoff and Jeffrey M. Norton, as well as Of Counsel, Randolph M. McLaughlin, Debra S. Cohen, and Jon B. Felice, were ranked as "Super Lawyers." Firm associates Roy Shimon and Glenn Berezanskiy were also nominated as "Rising Stars." The firm credits these accolades to its multifaceted practice in the areas of real estate, shareholder and securities litigation, class actions, commercial litigation, and civil rights.
