Criminal Practice
Our criminal practice includes every aspect of the state and federal systems and we have had success at the highest levels of each. Our clients are located in New York – including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, Westchester, and all throughout the state including Albany and Westchester. We routinely represent clients in federal cases not only in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York but also the Western District of New York, the District of New Jersey and the District of Connecticut where we are also admitted. In addition, we represent individuals charged with crimes in federal courts all over the country and have recently been admitted pro hac vice in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern District of North Carolina, Eastern District of Virginia and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania – and have had tremendous success wherever we go on the biggest stages in the legal world, whether it be at trial, sentencing or appeals.
State Practice
Our state practice takes us all over New York as well as throughout the country. The same dogged approach we take in major New York state cases is applied in state courts recently in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Florida and Alabama. In New York we handle every type of case contained in the New York Penal Law as well, from complicated Medicaid frauds to DUI/DWI cases. In addition, we handle expungement and sealing issues which help individuals convicted of crimes who want to move on with their lives and careers, without the specter of their criminal past haunting them. Every aspect of state criminal law is covered by us – and our staff includes a former state Assistant District Attorney.
Appellate Practice
Our appellate practice has also been hugely successful: we have worked tirelessly to vacate de facto life sentences for the wrongfully accused, and have won major federal appeals as well, cutting the prison time for our clients significantly. Simply put, when lawyers spend their times immersed only in criminal law issues appellate work is a natural extension.
Civil Practice
Finally, our civil practice is limited to fighting for those who are victims of police brutality and in wrongful death actions, as well as those who are victims of sexual assault and harassment. We have settled cases against major New York Fortune 500 companies as well as against local employers who harass or abuse their employees. Regardless of the size of the case, we understand that for you, your case is the biggest one in your life. That mindset has helped us win big in the criminal courtroom as well as in settlements for the injured and abused.
