Civil Rights & COVID
THE MASKING REGULATION
When COVID-19 hit New York the Government used it as an excuse to crush individual liberties. NY State imposed the strictest restrictions in the country. Few lawyers had the skills or courage to fight the governmemt. CJ Law stepped up without any experience in the relevant areas of law and civil procedure. As a skilled trial lawyer, Chad is not limited to practicing any single area. Most lawyers can learn the law. Few can try cases. Chad is adept at both. Chad taught himself complex areas of constitutional law, administrative law, and more in less than 3 months. His experience and litigation skills were no match for the NYS Attorney General's Office. Chad swiftly defeated the government. The Court struck down the masking regulation and children across the entire state were free to smile and see each other's faces for the first time in almost a year. Chad also battled the government's on appeal until it eventually gave up.
NYC VACCINE MANDATE
When thousands of City workers lost their jobs because the mayor of NYC imposed an unconstitutional vaccine mandate, they sought out CJ Law. Up against enormous odds, Chad challenged the Mandate on constitutional grounds and won. Law firms, both big and small, tried defeating the Mandate and lost. Countless unions failed as well. Chad prevailed though because he possesses a unique skill set unparalleled in the legal profession. When the City appealed, Chad briefed the appeal and argued it before the 2nd Appellate Division. His versatility knows no bounds.
NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DOE) TEACHERS DISCIPLINED WITHOUT DUE PROCESS
The NYC DOE had a ‘hunch‘ that about 83 teachers uploaded fake vaccination cards. So it discplined them without giving them the chance to defend themselves as the law requires. The DOE's blatent disregard for the law would have gone unpunished were it not for Chad. Once again, Chad swiftly defeated the DOE and got all those teachers back to work with full backpay.
BLAZING A TRAIL
CJ Law has been blazing a trail in both federal and state courts, litigating issues like religious discrimination, defamation, commercial disputes, and constituional violations of the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. See why CJ Law is one of the most sought out firms in the country.
