Brooklyn Housing Court Bar Association hosts supervising judge to discuss changes
Michael Rosenthal has been practicing law for three decades in Brooklyn and has been president of the Kings County Housing Court Bar Association for nearly as long. In that time, he said, he has never seen more changes to the Housing Court than he has in the last two years.
Some of those changes have been positive, like a newly imposed Navigator Program which helps people find their way around the courthouse, and some have made things more difficult for practicing attorneys.
To help with some of the confusion, and perhaps to improve upon negative changes, Rosenthal invited Hon. Cheryl Gonzales, supervising judge of the Kings County Housing Court, to the group’s monthly meeting so KCHCBA members could discuss the changes with her directly.
