Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense attorneys represent clients facing state and federal charges in New York and nationwide. We handle cases ranging from misdemeanors to complex felony allegations, including assault, drug crimes, and white-collar offenses. Our approach combines aggressive courtroom representation with strategic negotiations to achieve case dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable verdicts while protecting clients' constitutional rights throughout the legal process.
Federal Charges Defense
We specialize in defending clients against federal criminal charges including drug trafficking, financial crimes, and conspiracy allegations. Our attorneys navigate complex federal procedures and sentencing guidelines while challenging evidence admissibility and negotiating with Department of Justice prosecutors. Our experience with federal courts and investigative agencies enables effective defense strategies for high-stakes cases involving potential prison sentences and asset forfeiture.
Drug Crimes
Our drug crime defense covers possession, trafficking, and distribution charges under both state and federal laws. We challenge illegal search and seizure practices, laboratory testing procedures, and witness credibility while developing defense strategies tailored to each case's circumstances. Our attorneys handle cases involving controlled substances from simple possession to large-scale trafficking operations with potential mandatory minimum sentences.
Assault & Robbery
We defend clients accused of violent crimes including assault, battery, and robbery offenses. Our defense strategies address self-defense claims, witness credibility issues, and evidence challenges while considering potential plea negotiations. The team handles both misdemeanor and felony assault charges, including domestic violence cases requiring specialized legal approaches and protective order considerations.
White Collar Crimes
Our white-collar crime practice defends clients facing fraud, embezzlement, and financial misconduct allegations. We handle complex cases involving Medicare fraud, healthcare billing violations, and financial institution investigations. Our approach combines legal defense with regulatory compliance considerations while negotiating with prosecutors to minimize professional and personal consequences for business professionals and corporate clients.
