Practice Areas
Civil Rights
Lansner & Kubitschek has an extensive practice representing clients
seeking damages in actions under 42 U.S.C. subsection 1983 for violations
of their civil rights. We concentrate in cases arising out of the child
welfare system and police misconduct. In the child welfare area, we
represent families that have been separated as a result of unconstitutional
actions by the New York City Administration for Children's Services
and its foster care agencies, seeking both damages and systematic
changes. We also represent children who have been injured in foster care
as a result of the failures of ACS and foster care agencies to provide a
safe environment to the children.
Family Law
Lansner & Kubitschek represents clients in both the traditional and
special family law situations. We represent clients in all aspects of
divorce, separation, custody, visitation, child and spousal support,
domestic violence and equitable distribution, in both Supreme Court
and Family Court. Our representation is geared to the client's needs,
whether they be for zealous advocacy in full litigation or a
non-confrontational negotiated settlement.
We also represent clients in Family Court who are facing charges of
child abuse or neglect or who have children in foster care, and in
administrative reviews for clients who have been reported to the State
Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment, and for clients who
are the subject of ACS investigations.
Social Security
Lansner & Kubitschek represents clients in all phases of applications
for disability benefits, from the applications process through
administrative hearings to actions in the United States District and
Circuit Courts.
Appeals
Lansner & Kubitschek also represents clients on appeal in all of our
practice areas, as well as appeals in other cases.
