ARTHUR LORUSSO

Arthur Lorusso, died Thursday, October 3, 2024 at the age of 61. Arthur was born and raised in Maspeth, New York. He was a good husband to his wife Diane and father to his son Dominic. He was the beloved son to his parents whom pre-deceased him (Anna Lorusso) and (Domenico Lorusso). Arthur is also survived by his sister (Ester), sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, nieces, a nephew, many cousins & many wonderful lifelong friends! Arthur loved airplanes, so it’s no coincidence he started his first career with TWA, where he worked his way up to Security Manager in Cargo. Arthur would meet friends there that he kept in touch with throughout his life. We were afforded many great trips thanks to the benefits of his working with TWA. Circumstances in 2001 ended his time with TWA, but his experience & skillset granted him an opportunity to get a promising job with Homeland Security/TSA where he became an Inspector. Arthur received many accolades throughout his 16 year career there, too many to acknowledge, but all were credited to his outstanding work ethic. Not one to stay still, he left the TSA and shortly thereafter, landed a job with the Four Seasons Hotel (Downtown NYC) through a contracted security firm as a security guard. Eventually he was hired on the Four Seasons team as their Assistant Security Director. He was the first contracted employee there to receive an award for excellence. Arthur retired early to which our son Dominic and I are eternally grateful that he had a chance to enjoy leisure time with us! Arthur always loved to have a good time so we are grateful for the friendships that sustained him and the special memories that are deeply embedded within him & us! Arthur taught Dominic to ski at a young age following in his father’s footsteps. They took many father and son trips together; I’m grateful Dominic can look back and remember these special times fondly. Arthur should be remembered fondly for many reasons, but I think he would want mostly everyone to remember how he could make them laugh!

Popular Legal Cases In Queens, NY In 2024

Queens is New York City’s second-largest borough, and its legal landscape for 2024 has been as diverse and dynamic as its population. From the iconic Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to the monumental Queensboro Bridge, every corner of this vibrant community has seen its fair share of legal disputes in 2024. Let’s explore some of the most notable legal cases that have drawn the attention of Queens denizens and legal practitioners alike.

Housing and Landlord-Tenant Disputes

The housing market in Queens has always been a prolific source of legal contention. The borough has a history of legal disputes between tenants and landlords about rental rates, living conditions, and the ever-present threat of eviction. Queens has the second-largest and most diversified economy among New York City’s five boroughs, which translates to rapid development and gentrification. However, this has also led to an increase in housing disputes, pitting long-term residents against deep-pocketed property owners and real estate developers. Whether it’s a landlord-tenant dispute, legal cases over the terms of a sales contract, or other cases involving real estate, a reputable Queens real estate lawyer can help you get the best possible outcome.

Personal Injury Cases

The borough of Queens is characterized by bustling streets and construction sites. Unfortunately, these places have become breeding grounds for personal injury cases in recent years. Queens is facing a surge in legal cases involving hazardous conditions. From accidents in public parks to safety breaches in large companies, residents have suffered injuries due to negligence and unsafe practices.

Consumer Protection Lawsuits

Consumer protection lawsuits are legal actions taken to safeguard consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices. As consumers become more aware of their rights, businesses are facing more allegations of deceptive practices, false advertising, and fraudulent activities. Prominent areas of contention include financial services, healthcare, and product safety. The number of lawsuits filed against companies accused of deceptive practices, fraudulent activities, and product defects has significantly increased over the years. Consumers in Queens who have reasons to believe they’ve been wronged may need to contact reliable Lawyers like to seek legal counsel to further understand their rights and pursue justice.

Divorce Cases

Divorce cases are legal proceedings that dissolve marriages. They address various aspects of separation, including complex matters like dividing assets, settling financial obligations, and determining child custody, where applicable. When handling such cases, courts consider factors like marriage duration, financial contributions, and children’s welfare in order to make sound decisions. Divorce cases are gradually reshaping the country’s legal and marital landscape, and Queens is not left behind. Like other parts of the United States, this vibrant borough has witnessed an increase in divorce cases over the years.

If you are a resident of Queens looking to secure the best possible ruling in a divorce case, you should seek the services of a seasoned Queens lawyer specializing in family law to help you navigate through New York’s equitable distribution laws and residency requirements.
