New York City will pay $2.5 million to ECBAWM client Joel Fowler, who was wrongly convicted of a 2007 Brooklyn murder. Prosecutors under the watch of late Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson concluded in 2015 that Mr. Fowler had nothing to do with the murder. This settlement is the latest of the many wrongful conviction cases that Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel LLP has settled.

ECBA attorneys Earl Ward and Ali Frick represented Mr. Fowler, along with the Law Offices of Joel B. Rudin.
