In search of a New-York Real-Estate Attorney Recommendation Pls!

Hi everybody...  

Seeking help here please.  I own a medium-sized multifamily property in NY where there is a large vacant lot next door. Recently i found out that the lot next door has been purchased and plans have been filed for a major ground-up development that will require a pretty large scale Excavation and Underpinning of my property's foundation.

There have been many horror stories in NY about shoddy underpinning work causing a complete collapse of the building next door. 

Can anyone here recommend a NY Real-Estate Attorney who is VERY well-versed  in the Laws & NY DOB regulations concerning planning, zoning, filing & permitting, building/construction and all the relevant rights of neighboring property owners and obligations of developers?

I know it can get really complex but I know there are quite a few NY Attorneys who have specialized in these types of issues

Thanks

Brooklyn R.
