On Thursday evening, October 19, 2006, my partner and co-author, Lucas A. Ferrara, was the keynote speaker at a dinner event sponsored by The Judicial Title Insurance Agency LLC at the Grand Hyatt New York (Park Avenue at Grand Central Terminal).
For two hours straight, Lucas waxed eloquent on such timely topics as the Office of Court Administration's proposed regulations regarding attorney advertising and solicitations, and provided a critical look at the latest cases impacting cooperatives, condominiums, regulated housing, and other real estate.
Lucas's presentation was lively, entertaining, informative and--based on the reaction of those in the ballroom that evening--enthusiastically received. Many described his performance as "controversial," "energetic," "enthusiastic," "thought-provoking" and "witty."
In addition to some very insightful analysis, the standing-room-only crowd of some 275 attendees also received an added bonus of two CLE credits.
After the event, representatives of The Judicial Title Insurance Agency informed me that this was their most successful event to date. And, if you've ever seen Lucas in action, it's no wonder why. His passion for the law is indefatigable and is relayed with a healthy dose of humor and sarcasm.
Well done and congratulations!
