Tina Luongo – Attorney-in-Charge of Legal Aid’s Criminal Defense Practice – was listed among City & States “Biggest Winners” for her role in championing the recent repeal of 50-a – the so-called “secrecy” law that shielded police officers involved in misconduct from public scrutiny.

“Tina Luongo at The Legal Aid Society pushed New York City to [publish] the police disciplinary records online,” the reports City & State. “The organization is no stranger to the concept, having operated its own police misconduct database in recent years. Within days, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed off on such a plan.”
