Principal
CurrentMichael Aronow Esq., principal at the Law Offices of Michael Aronow, has been practicing law in New York State since 1997. While initially involved with litigating personal injury actions, Mr. Aronow's practice has evolved into a multi-faceted practice that now includes criminal defense, immigration, commercial claims and real estate law including those matters that comprise and encompass New York State's Real Estate and Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law.Additionally, as a thoroughbred horse owner and breeder and former thoroughbred horse trainer, Mr. Aronow is actively involved in all aspects of equine law and represents horsemen throughout New York State in all equine related matters. Regarding equine matters, it should be noted that in 2007, Mr. Aronow represented all New York Equine Dentists in the case captioned as Brown vs. the NYSRWB and Dept. of Education and prevailed in an Article 78 proceeding against New York State in proving that Equine Dentistry was not and never was Veterinary Practice as defined by the New York State Department of Education under Article 135 Section 6704. In so doing, Mr. Aronow allowed all lay equine dentists to continue practicing upon NYRA race tracks as jurisdictionally overseen by the NYSR&WB. Upon appeal, i.e., In the Matter of Chris Brown, Respondent, v. New York State Racing and Wagering Board et al., Appellants, Second Department, January 13, 2009, 2007 NY Slip Op 34400(U,) (Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, New York City (Michael S. Belohlavek and Laura R. Johnson of counsel, for appellants) Mr. Aronow's Supreme Court victory was unanimously affirmed. Thus Mr. Aronow had created case law which is still precedent today. This precedent setting case is now commonly cited and referred to by race tracks, veterinarians and equine dental practitioners throughout the United States.
