Hodgson Russ Attorneys Secure $131,000 Award for Hospitality Industry Client

In a significant post-litigation win, the team of Joe Endres, Ariele Doolittle, and Joe Tantillo secured a $131,000 award of costs, which the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance must now pay to reimburse our client for legal fees and expert witness costs. This outcome follows a prior win in Matter of 74 Wythe Restaurant Co., LLC, and underscores the team’s continued excellence in advocacy against the Tax Department. Cost recovery from the Tax Department is a rare achievement, and success in this case is a major victory for the client and the litigation team.
