Carrie Cohen was featured in the New York Law
Journal's coverage of the trial date postponement for
client Sylvia Ash, the Brooklyn state Supreme Court justice charged
with obstructing justice during a federal investigation into the
state-chartered credit union whose board she used to chair.
According to Carrie, Ash is undergoing physical therapy
following a "pretty serious" surgery in January, adding
that though she can now walk with the help of a cane, she is still
awaiting medical clearance for a separate knee-replacement
procedure sometime this summer.
"A trial in the fall will probably be the earliest"
realistic trial date, Carrie said. "I think the summer will be
a little more problematic."
