Others who list this employer on the register

The register gives this attorney’s employer as “Coffinas & Lusthaus PC”. We count that spelling with Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C., the name most registrants give for the firm now; the register does not say where the attorney works today.

2 other attorneys list Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C. or one of its other names as their employer on the register; 1 of them was admitted before 1997, and all 3 give an office in Brooklyn, NY. The 2 whose admission is closest to 1997, earliest first:

How to confirm it officially

For a statement of Meredith A. Lusthaus’s standing, contact the Attorney Registration Unit of the NY Office of Court Administration (nycourts.gov/attorneys), or ask the Appellate Division, Second Department, which admitted Meredith A.

A complaint about this attorney would go to the Second Department’s Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh and Thirteenth Judicial Districts, which covers Kings County, where the register places the office.

This page reads the register file of Sep 29, 2026, and the court system’s own search can be newer; the register shows only the current value, so a suspension that ended before the files we hold, or a censure, leaves no trace here (Appellate Division decisions are published through the court system’s Law Reporting Bureau).
