Criminal defense & Civil Rights

EXPERIENCE

We base our criminal defense practice on the idea that our clients deserve a lawyer who will fight for them to ensure the best possible outcome in their case and work to protect not only their liberty, but their employment, civil rights and property. We have handled hundreds of misdemeanors and felonies, including DUIs and have represented clients through all stages of their case, from arrest to jury trial. Our depth of criminal experience comes from years of practicing in one of New York's top public defender offices, The Bronx Defenders, and in the District of Columbia. 

We have helped our clients win:

• Acquittals at trial
• Dismissal of criminal charges through motions to suppress, 30.30 and legal insufficiency
• Reduction of criminal charges to non-criminal violations
• Reduction of felony DUI charges to community service
• Favorable deals to avoid immigration consequences
• Right to keep housing and/or employment following an arrest

Our criminal defense practice is limited to the five boroughs of New York.
