Michael Boulhosa (Partner-White Plains, NY) was quoted in “Few Cases Filed after First Two Weeks of Adult Survivors Act,” an article that appeared in the Albany Times Union on December 12, 2022. The Adult Survivors Act, which sought to provide a window for retroactive claims for people age 18 or older, has seen less than two dozen cases filed in the first two weeks, according to the state Office of Court Administration.
