Decades of Experience on Your Side


Proven Criminal Defense and Civil Action in New York City

When you need attentive, high-level defense of your rights anywhere in the New York City metro area, the attorneys of Goldberg & Allen, LLP, are ready to step up for you. Beginning with a personal, confidential consultation, we can provide criminal defense strategy and action informed by decades of experience.

Finding an attorney with experience not only as a prosecutor, but as a First Deputy Bureau Chief, is a rare opportunity to leverage extensive knowledge of our area courts and systems. At Goldberg & Allen, LLP, both partners in our firm — Jay K. Goldberg and Gerald Allen — reached this highly influential level in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office.

Both partners spent over a decade working inside the New York criminal justice system, dealing extensively with prosecution strategies, search warrant procedures, police tactics and limits, and other issues that may be critical in your case.

Our attorneys are veterans of many trials, and we are also skilled negotiators determined to obtain the best possible outcome by the means that make the most sense for you.
