Blatt v. City of New York, et al.

The firm represented seven New York City police sergeants who sat for the Promotion to Lieutenant's exam administered by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("DCAS"), on April 18, 2015. The sergeants alleged that DCAS failed to provide proper notice of the subject areas that were to be tested on the exam and cited to irregularities in the administration of the exam. The parties reached an agreement where five of the six questions challenged in the lawsuit were stricken from grading. This agreement enabled a number of hard working police sergeants to become eligible for a promotion to lieutenant.
