A Manhattan judge has cut to $60,000 the $114,000 in fees requested by real estate attorney Adam Leitman Bailey and his firm for working on a $70,000 settlement in a lawsuit over a noisy dog.
The underlying case involves a tenant, Andrew Stein, the former Manhattan borough president, who rented a unit in an Upper East Side co-op building. He brought two dogs with him, whose barking became a nuisance to other residents. In 2003, the co-op board, led by its president Dennis Herman, hired Nessenoff & Miltenberg and sued Stein over the dogs. The suit also came to involve Stein’s alleged parking in the building driveway against co-op rules.
