Brooklyn, NY (Friday, January 9, 2009) – The Women’s Council of Realtors, a branch of the Brooklyn Board of Realtors kicks off the year with a new list of prominent industry leaders to headline their monthly membership conferences. Under the invitation of former president, Ms. Julie Thum and the new BBOR president, Ms. Kimberlie Lyn-Sue, this Friday’s meeting presents Michael M. Menicucci, Esq., a partner of Menicucci-Villa & Associates, PLLC of Staten Island; a longstanding and well recognized figure in banking and real estate law. Menicucci and the firm’s senior associate, Maria A. Mirra, Esq. will speak directly to all the board members concerning the many technical intricacies of the SHORT-SALE process as well as the many pitfalls and legal discrepancies of under-qualified consultants who perform this service.

“A significant number of homes have fallen into foreclosure due to inaccuracies and misguidance from realtors during the short sale settlement process”, states Menicucci. “Oftentimes, these unfortunate cases occur because of a lack of familiarity in the entire handling process…. also, inaccurate advisement relayed by the agent can be considered an act of fraud leading to severe legal ramifications for the realtor.” He performs these public speaking engagements with groups of real estate professionals with the hopes of providing updated information and advisement as part of his commitment to fight our current foreclosure epidemic.

The law firm of Menicucci-Villa & Assoc. PLLC primarily focuses its practice to real estate, residential/commercial lending and related legal issues.  Menicucci is the go-to attorney in situations dealing with the local foreclosure crisis and its effect on the families and companies of the 5 boroughs. More recently, Republican State Senator Andrew Lanza appointed Menicucci as Special Counsel for Homeowner and Mortgage Issues.
