Why Kings County Housing Court is Different
You can't navigate 141 Livingston Street with a map. You need a guide who knows the territory.
Brooklyn Housing Court isn't like other courts. It's a maze of over 250,000 cases a year, where the security line wraps around the block and the elevators are notorious for breaking down. It's a place where cases are won or lost in the hallway negotiations of the Resolution Part, long before you ever see a trial judge.
We don't just practice law; we live in these courtrooms. We know the difference between Part A and Part B. When you hire Jay Browne, you're getting an insider who knows the unwritten rules.
