“Your Court Street Lawyer”
Richard A. Klass is the quintessential “Court Street Lawyer,” as defined by the New York Times: “a street-smart sharpie with verve, hustle and a striver’s charisma.”
Practicing law much like a critical care doctor functions, Klass is the lawyer clients appreciate when the issue is so vital. Practicing primarily in the areas of commercial litigation, debt collection and enforcement of judgments, legal malpractice, and real estate litigation, his firm also represents clients in bankruptcy, civil appeals, and federal court litigation.
With an office in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Klass lectures and writes extensively for lawyers and industry professionals. He writes and publishes the widely-read quarterly newsletter Law Currents, the blog of the same name and has written numerous books.

A home improvement contractor sued a homeowner for breach of contract. The plaintiff-contractor alleged that it agreed to perform renovation and construction services for the defendant-homeowner, performed the labor and furnished all materials, and was not paid for the job. A jury trial was held where the jury determined that the defendant breached the contract and owed the plaintiff $40,000. Post-trial motions were made before the trial judge to challenge the jury verdict. The judge sustained the verdict. However, the judge’s order did not contain a directive to submit the judgment by a certain date.
