Practice Areas

Every client wants to avoid criminal charges or have cases dismissed from the outset.  We frequently, and quietly, are able to obtain such results.  However, if you are charged, you want to avoid a conviction that can have negative effects on your employment or family, or even your immigration status, and to resolve your case so you can go back to your life with minimal disruption.

If going to trial becomes necessary, we’ll fight like hell on your behalf. Our track record of success in criminal courts is supported by the unsurpassed trial skills and bold strategies of a former prosecutor who cut his teeth at the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office and has been a practicing criminal defense attorney for many years.

We provide 24/7, white-glove legal services focused in four practice areas:

Often, the first question in a white-collar criminal defense case is: Was a crime actually committed? We’ll comb through financial and other documents to determine if there was even a crime. You’d be surprised how often a thorough investigation and smart advocacy will result in no charges being filed.  We often represent clients during investigations by federal, state, and local authorities.

If going to court becomes necessary, we’ll mount a vigorous defense to minimize disruption to your life and your livelihood. We represent clients during criminal prosecutions by federal, state and local authorities.

The first question in a traditional criminal defense case is: What really happened? We are renowned for taking apart an allegation until there is nothing left but a dismissal or a favorable plea deal before the case ever goes to trial.

If we do need to go to court, we will be by your side every step, fighting to minimize consequences and get you back to your life as quickly and painlessly as possible. We regularly appear in state courts in New York and New Jersey, and in federal courts nationwide.

Students in Title IX university misconduct proceedings also need the vigorous trial skills that we possess whether they are the accused or the accuser. We skillfully navigate school processes in conjunction with local laws to reduce adverse consequences to your academic career and your life.
