where he practiced in the areas of tax certiorari, condemnation,

Glen Cove City Attorney, where he was general counsel to
all of the city's departments and boards and represented
the city in its tax certiorari matters. He was also counsel
to the Glen Cove Community Development Agency and the Glen
Cove Industrial Development Agency, where he prepared tax,
financing, and contract documents for complex real estate
projects.
Mr. Terrana joined Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz,

has established. This rating is based upon extensive confidential
peer review surveys.
