Founded in 1983, The Hudson Reporter publishes nine weekly newspapers, capturing the highest home-delivered circulation of any newspaper in Hudson County. Our award-winning periodicals also include specialty publications and two, glossy magazines: Jersey City Magazine and Palisade.
The past few years have brought tremendous change to the western banks of the Hudson River.
As newcomers flock to the area and explore their surroundings, long-time residents are meeting their neighbors - and discovering new opportunities - at every turn.
Luxury developments line the riverbanks, and boutiques, restaurants and art galleries are opening every week. Young families fill the streets with baby carriages. Empty nesters and young artists wait together for trains running along the expanding light rail system.
But change can be hard. Transformation does not come easily.
How does one gain a sense of community in a new and evolving place? Where can you turn for resources, entertainment and a bird's-eye view of our home along the Hudson?
We created hudsonreporter.com to answer some of those questions, yet we hope it will do more. We'd like our site to be a sort of meeting place a town square, if you will, where you can read about the people, politics and places that make living here so exciting.
As stated on the MMSFRAUD message board on Googlegroups:
"Deputy at Judge Stern's office and he states that he has only received 20 motions to dismiss. PLEASE PLEASE fill out the template or send your case. He says the judge is aware of the situation and is reading each individual motion. We are making good NOISE! They also will be rescheduling the June 7th date to July 19th 10am because they "NOW have evidence that they have to sort out and try to figure out how to handle the hearing on the 7/19" thanks and please again fill out the petition it is not too late"
As you can see, the hearing has been pushed back again because people are opposing the bankruptcy. But it's gonna take more of us to be heard. Please check out the Googlegroups at

My primary complaint is with MMP, Sonia and Lucy. But my other complaint is with New Jersey BBB, because this is the third wedding photographer to go out of business in the are and take money from NJ/NY brides. Who is protecting our rights? It seems like the only people that are being protected are the business owners who have legally hidden their assets, what about the consumer who makes the economy run. I feel like a change in this process should be demanded, because at this rate, next year another company will go under, and more people are stranded just like all of us.
The petition is to prove that they were fradualently using our money. If you wrote a personal check to either Lucy or Sonia, please email us immediately. If you have signed documentation that they were to provide you a service (i.e. album, video) by a specific date, please email us.
Lets all pool together as team....and let justice prevail.
It's sickening to see this Escape to Beauty business sharing the same retail space in both Ridgewood and Hoboken.
I spoke to a Bankruptcy Attorney who told me that FRAUD is a very difficult charge to prove. I would be interested to see you make out. Basically, the attorney told me that we are pretty much without recourse. Nada. Nothing. Zero.
To think I didn't invite people to our wedding because we couldn't afford to makes me sick. Please share any positive results.
I don't know yet but would like to press AT LEAST fraud charges. I have similar emails myself - SO glad I saved EVERYTHING! I'm eager to see if my album is actually in process as they put in writing it was late last year...
I agree - none of them can be trusted and I dare them to start another business once they walk away scott free from THIS mess!! NO vendors will work with them and NO consumers with any scruples will hire them!
Can you give me more information about crminial charges? They are indeed fraud and in my book criminals. I have emails from Lucia Nobili-Fazio (Lucy), Sonia Crews and Jack Crews saying that my albums were in process, but of course, per their Law Firm they were never were submitted into the album company. I don't know how Lucia Nobili-Fazio (Lucy), Sonia Crews and Jack Crews can have a straight face and lie to their clients. They even went so far to have us select the picture, and complete and sign a form -- as if they were going to send it in - conartists to the true form.
Bella Italia - you have some great suggestions, but I am not sure why you have not acted upon them? I don't want to waste time picketing or creating fliers, I want tangible results. But hey if you have the time go for it. When you post make sure to use their full names that way in internet search it comes up.
Sonia Crews has another business called Escape to Beauty -- BRides please please do not give her any business. She is a liar and thief along with her husband Jack Crews and mother Lucia Nobili-Fazio!!!!
I spoke with Christina at their attorney's office yesterday and it looks like there will be no assets available for distribution. Seems that approximately 90 days from the hearing (on April 22) they are also ABSOLVED of ALL debts!!! However if any of you made checks out to Lucy directly you might be able to pursue her in small claims court. I also heard of some clients pressing CRIMINAL charges so I'm going to look into that option.
Contact everyone they know on facebook!!
We hired Mr. Sachin Gupta to represent us prior to MMS filing bankruptcy. MMS filed Chapter 7 and in their file they are proctected against any law suits. Their lawyer contacted our lawyer (Sachin) and we had to drop the case, unfortunatley.
Here are the contact details for MMS Lawyer who is very helpful.
Tel: 201-487-6000. Ask to speak to Christine.

I went to thier location in Hoboken and left them a letter under the door- asking them to please provide me with at least the digital pictures on a CD. Today I received a phone call from their lawyer advising me not to contact them - bc I can get into a lot of trouble and be penalized - whatever that means.
She said that in fifteen days we will all get a letter in the mail with a date and time we can go pick up whatever MMS have of ours, (proofs, video, etc). If your album was sent out to be produced, they will provide you with the name and phone# of who is producting your album and you will be able to contact them directly.
email?
