UNIONDALE, N.Y., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeffrey D. Forchelli and
John V. Terrana, Co-Managing
Partners of Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP ("FDT"), are proud to
announce that the attorneys and staff of Cronin, Harris &
Associates, P.L.L.C. ("CHA"), have joined the firm. The addition of
CHA to FDT's existing Tax Certiorari practice group further
bolsters FDT's position as the preeminent real estate tax law firm
in New York State. CHA's Senior
Partner, Laureen Harris, will
continue as such at FDT.
FDT, an acclaimed full-service law firm with a 48-year history,
will grow significantly with the addition of CHA's attorneys and
staff. Laureen Harris, a real estate
industry veteran, has counseled clients on many of the most
significant real estate tax matters in New York State. "I have known Laureen for more
than two decades. She is a well-respected attorney with strong ties
to the Long Island community.
Laureen is an advocate; a partner clients want by their side. I am
glad that her and her team have joined us," said Mr. Terrana.
Ms. Harris has extensive experience in real estate tax law. She
has obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate tax
refunds and savings for her clients. These successes span the full
spectrum of commercial real estate: office buildings, industrial
parks, shopping malls, apartment complexes and many others. As the
President of the Association for a Better Long Island (ABLI), and a
member of its Board of Directors since 1996, Ms. Harris and her
Board work tirelessly to enhance the quality of life for all Long
Islanders and protect the region's economic future. "I am thrilled
to join FDT – a legal powerhouse on Long
Island. FDT's collaborative culture, talented attorneys
across diverse practice areas and dedicated support staff are
important to me. I look forward to leveraging these resources to
enhance the overall client experience," said Ms. Harris.
With the addition of CHA, FDT will comprise a law firm of more
than 150 attorneys and staff, including a Tax Certiorari practice
group unrivaled in both experience and results. The newly-expanded
FDT presents tremendous opportunities and benefits to the firm's
clients. This stems from access to the firm's numerous practice
groups, including Land Use & Zoning, IDA Benefits &
Government Incentives, Environmental and Litigation, among others.
Additionally, the attorneys will be able to utilize the robust firm
infrastructure, consisting of state-of-the-art technology,
paralegals and support staff in obtaining the best possible results
for clients.
Since FDT's founding by firm Chairman and Co-Managing Partner,
Jeffrey D. Forchelli, the firm has
been focused on strategic growth and expansion in an effort to
provide clients with the highest quality legal services. By adding
the esteemed real estate tax law firm of CHA, the tradition
continues. "We are very excited to be joined by the attorneys and
staff of Cronin, Harris & Associates, P.L.L.C. We will make
each other better, and all of our clients will benefit greatly as a
result. The future remains bright," said Mr. Forchelli.
