LUCAS A. FERRARA’S LEGAL LEADERSHIP EARNS NATIONAL ACCLAIM

Lucas A. Ferrara Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® 2027 Edition for Real Estate Law Accomplishments

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lucas A. Ferrara, Founding Partner of Newman Ferrara LLP and a leading authority in New York real estate law, has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America^® for his work in Litigation – Real Estate and Real Estate Law.

Ferrara is also the co author of Landlord and Tenant Practice in New York, the widely used treatise that has shaped landlord tenant jurisprudence across New York State.

Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review, with thousands of lawyers nationwide providing confidential evaluations of their colleagues. Only attorneys who earn the highest ratings from their peers receive this distinction.

“I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from my peers,” said Lucas A. Ferrara. “This acknowledgment reflects the dedication of our entire team at Newman Ferrara LLP to delivering exceptional results for clients navigating complex real estate matters — including landlord tenant disputes, co op and condo governance, DHCR proceedings, evictions, and guaranties—as well as significant class actions and civil rights litigation. Whether advocating for tenants, property owners, or individuals seeking redress for constitutional violations, our commitment to rigorous advocacy and ethical practice remains unwavering.”

In addition to being a seasoned litigator and adjunct professor of law at New York Law School, Ferrara serves as co host of the popular radio programs Eye on Real Estate (with Dottie Herman) and Shake It Off with Mert & Lucas, Live! (with Mert Roberts) on AM970: The Answer, where his work reaches a wide and diverse audience each week. Eye on Real Estate airs every Saturday at 10 AM EST and is consistently promoted across AM970’s platform as a leading source for market trends, mortgage news, and expert analysis for homeowners and investors.

Shake It Off with Mert & Lucas, Live! airing Sunday evenings, has become a fast growing, conversation driven program known for sharp commentary, high profile guests, and milestone broadcasts — including its 100th show, celebrated with national television personalities and cultural figures. The program regularly tackles politics, culture, public trust, and national issues with depth and candor, earning a reputation for unfiltered insight and substantive dialogue.
Across both shows, Ferrara provides muscular analysis, legal clarity, and practical guidance for property owners, investors, and industry professionals, while also engaging broader civic and cultural conversations that resonate with listeners throughout the New York Tri State area and beyond.

That same blend of strategic insight and narrative discipline extends beyond the radio studio, where Ferrara has built a parallel career as an award winning independent film producer whose work has screened at festivals across the United States and abroad. His projects — spanning narrative features, documentaries, and socially driven short films — are marked by disciplined storytelling, strategic oversight, and a focus on human and legal themes. Ferrara has collaborated with both emerging and established filmmakers, contributing to productions that have earned jury prizes, audience awards, and distribution deals. He brings the same rigor, clarity, and results oriented mindset to film production that defines his legal practice, strengthening his reputation as a producer committed to distinctive voices and high integrity filmmaking.
