Lucas A. Ferrara Named to The Best Lawyers in America® 2027 Edition
Newman Ferrara LLP is proud to announce that Lucas A. Ferrara, Founding Partner and one of New York’s most respected real estate litigators, has been selected for inclusion in the Best Lawyers in America® 2027 edition for Litigation – Real Estate and Real Estate Law.
This recognition reflects the results of Best Lawyers’ nationwide peer‑review process, in which attorneys evaluate the professional abilities of their colleagues confidentially. Only those who earn the highest ratings from fellow practitioners receive this honor.
Ferrara’s leadership in the field is well established. In addition to decades of courtroom experience, he is the co‑author of Landlord and Tenant Practice in New York, the widely relied‑upon treatise that has shaped landlord‑tenant jurisprudence throughout the state. His practice spans complex real estate disputes, including landlord‑tenant matters, co‑op and condo governance, DHCR proceedings, evictions, guaranties, class actions, and significant civil rights litigation.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful,” Ferrara said. “It reflects the collective work of our team and our commitment to delivering rigorous, ethical, and results‑driven advocacy for clients navigating challenging real estate and civil rights issues.”
Beyond his litigation practice, Ferrara serves as an adjunct professor at New York Law School and reaches a broad audience as co‑host of two AM970 radio programs: Eye on Real Estate and Shake It Off with Mert & Lucas, Live! His commentary on both shows blends legal clarity with muscular analysis, offering practical guidance to property owners, investors, and listeners across the Tri‑State area.
Ferrara also maintains a parallel career as an award‑winning independent film producer. His work — spanning narrative features, documentaries, and socially driven short films — has screened at festivals across the United States and abroad, reflecting his commitment to disciplined storytelling and high‑integrity filmmaking.
