226 A.D.2d 189 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

641 N.Y.S.2d 535

Opinion

April 11, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Lobis, J.).

Where the underlying criminal action was prosecuted, the retention of counsel arranged and most of the attorney-client meetings conducted in Massachusetts, defendant client did not engage in purposeful activity in New York ( cf., Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston Rosen v. Shreve City Apts., 147 A.D.2d 327, 332-333). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
