Professional advocates protecting defendants since 1952

Nothing is more important than finding a skillful defense attorney when you’re facing potential incarceration, fines or the permanent stigma that accompanies a criminal conviction. You can trust the reputation we’ve built over more than six decades, because our lawyers are:

• Highly recommended — Our commitment to fair treatment for the accused has led to high praise from clients and colleagues. Senior partners Paul B. Edelman and William T. Jaye have earned AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Ratings by Martindale-Hubbell®, a recognition of their legal ability and ethics by attorneys familiar with their work.
• Focused on winning — We have the legal and practical knowledge to assess a case strategically and guide you toward a favorable outcome. No matter the charge, we’re not intimidated by overzealous prosecutors or inflated charges. After outlining your options, we’ll press for a dismissal, acquittal or fair plea agreement depending on your circumstances and choices.
• Responsive advisers — Instead of sitting back and waiting for a deal, our lawyers take a hands-on approach to your defense. Any questions or concerns you have will be answered promptly and completely so you always know where your case stands.

If you’ve been accused of a crime, you have fundamental rights. But without the proper counsel, those rights can be infringed from your first contact with law enforcement. We provide a free initial consultation to give you the immediate legal support you deserve.

Accomplished attorneys defend New Yorkers in Nassau, Suffolk and the five boroughs

Throughout Long Island and New York City, our firm represents New Yorkers in criminal defense cases involving:

• Felonies and misdemeanors — We provide a tenacious defense for clients in a range of charges, from misdemeanors such as third-degree assault to felonies such as sex crimes, homicide and weapons charges.
• Traffic violations — Being found guilty of a traffic violation can trigger a heavy fine, increased insurance premiums and possibly even jail time. If you feel that your citation was not warranted, we’ll identify potential defenses.
• White collar crimes — Our firm has the skill and experience to handle litigation relating to alleged white collar crimes such as fraud and theft from one’s employer.
• Drunk driving — Stopping drunk drivers is a worthy goal, but sometimes law enforcement crosses the line in DWI arrests. Even if you’ve failed a breathalyzer test, we can help you counter an allegation of driving while intoxicated.
• Drug crimes — For all types of drug crime cases, our attorneys conduct a thorough review to determine if a controlled substance charge is based on improper evidence or tactics.

Whatever the allegation or potential punishment, our goal is to ease your emotional burden as we vigorously pursue justice on your behalf.
