My digging is weak. I could not find any interesting cases. Any lawfags around that can dig on this guy?
Lawrence Garbuz, Lawyer, NYC, Coronavirus
The Manhattan lawyer hospitalized with coronavirus is in “severe condition,” the city Health Department said Tuesday evening.
The lawyer, identified by sources as Lawrence Garbuz, 50, runs a boutique law firm with his wife that also employs one of their four kids as a paralegal, according to information posted online.
The seven-lawyer practice, Lewis & Garbuz, is located across the street from Grand Central Terminal and specializes in matters including personal planning and wealth management, estate litigation, guardianships and elder law, its website says.
Garbuz and his wife, also 50, both graduated from New York University and earned law degrees from Yeshiva University’s Cardozo School of Law before marrying in 1995, according to a wedding announcement published in the New York Times.
Their firm, founded in 2001, is located across 42nd Street from Grand Central Terminal, and Garbuz reportedly commuted there on the Metro-North Railroad from their family home in New Rochelle.
A client, New Jersey resident Jason Fries, told The Post, “I’m worried,” even though he hasn’t been in “physical contact” with Garbuz “in what they say is the exposure time” for coronavirus.
“It’s distressing when one finds out that there are people we know who have come down with it,” said Fries, 55.
“It’s not an abstract anymore.”
Garbuz was initially hospitalized Friday at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, but was transferred on Monday to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center in Upper Manhattan when his condition worsened.
He’s being treated in the Intensive Care Unit, the hospital said.
