Kramer Levin Successfully Petitions Removal of Client From the NY State Central Register

Litigation associate Seth F. Schinfeld and Corporate associate Jeffrey H. Taub, working with Brooklyn Defender Services, successfully petitioned New York State’s Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment to remove the name of a client who was wrongfully listed there. The client was listed in connection with a petition in Family Court, alleging the client’s daughter was abused by a third party that had not had contact with the client or the daughter for many years, that was dismissed. This result was particularly important to the client because she is pursuing a career in child care, which would have been impossible if her name had remained on the register.
