Attorney Norfolk at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

Attorney Matthew Norfolk argued in front of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in an adverse possession case based in Essex County, NY. 

Adverse possession (commonly known as 'squatter's rights') is a legal concept that allows a trespasser to gain legal title over the land of a property owner.

Attorney Norfolk was successful in having the cause of action (the legal claim that allows a party to seek judicial relief) dismissed at the trial court level and the opposing party is appealing the decision.
