WMHW represents six senior FDNY Chiefs and a Deputy Director of EMS in an age discrimination suit filed against the City of New York, Deputy Mayor Banks, former FDNY Commissioner Kavanagh, and several of her deputies.  Despite Laura Kavanagh’s resignation, the case remains ongoing.

“Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Patria Frias-Colón shot down the city’s attempt to dismiss the case, finding the allegations made by the chiefs against Kavanagh ‘are sufficient enough to state a cause of action.’

‘Given that the Court wisely sustained the majority of our claims, including those against Deputy Mayor Banks and First Deputy Pfeifer, we look forward to deposing former Commissioner Kavanagh and the defendants, and finally taking this case to trial,’ Jim Walden said Friday.”
