Frank Carone, who was a partner at the politically plugged-in Abrams Fensterman law firm before coming to City Hall in January, once represented developers like the Fortis Property Group, which is pursuing a project on the Brooklyn waterfront that will require approvals from the city.
Carone, who has known Adams since his first run for State Senate in 2004, is considered one of the incoming mayor’s closest advisers. He’s also a high-powered lawyer who has for years served as the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s counsel.
