Joseph I. Farca is a partner in the Firm's Supreme Court Division. He has broad experience in commercial real estate litigation in state and federal courts, with a practice that ranges from summary proceedings in New York City Civil Court, to complex real property and contract disputes in New York State Supreme Court and the United States District and Bankruptcy Courts. Mr. Farca's practice includes breach of contract actions, ejectment actions, construction claims and disputes, lien law disputes, foreclosures, fraud actions, actions to rescind or to reform a lease, Article 78 proceedings, and actions for declaratory and injunctive relief, including Yellowstone applications.

Notable Decisions:
Yellowstone injunctions are routinely granted to avoid forfeiture of a commercial tenant's interest prior to a determination of the merits, where the tenant demonstrates the existence of a commercial lease, receipt of a notice of default, a timely application for a temporary restraining order and the desire and ability to cure the alleged default. However, courts have held that a tenant faced with a notice to cure for failure to maintain insurance is not entitled to a Yellowstone injunction because such a default is not curable. As the Supreme Court, Queens County, recently, explained in NY Great Stone Inc. v. Two Fulton Square LLC, a case handled by Partner Joseph Farca a failure to maintain insurance is not a curable default because a prospective insurance policy does not protect a landlord against unknown claims that might arise during the period in which no coverage existed.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
