Decades of Experience in New York Criminal Law
In 1996, we brought together a wealth of experience in the New York City criminal justice system to found Goldberg & Allen, LLP. At that time, each of us — attorneys Jay K. Goldberg and Gerald Allen — had performed effectively for years in the Kings County D.A.'s Office and reached the level of First Deputy Bureau Chief.
Many attorneys who reach this level of authority as prosecutors continue on that path. We brought our skills "back to the streets," determined to level the playing field for New Yorkers in need of strong criminal defense or civil representation. Our midtown Manhattan firm is here for you when you have been arrested, contacted as part of a criminal investigation, or harmed by police misconduct.
Extensive Knowledge of the Law, Your Rights, and Prosecution Strategies
We left our marks on the Brooklyn D.A.'s office, passing knowledge of indictments, prosecutions, search warrants, plea bargaining and trial work on to hundreds of prosecutors — including some who have become elected officials. This perspective is an invaluable asset to our clients today.
Our experience — including many high-stakes victories for our clients — extends across virtually all levels and types of misdemeanor and felony cases. We have also proven our abilities in civil lawsuits against the city for false arrest and police brutality.
Personal, Committed Attention to Your Case and Your Needs
We are dedicated lawyers who will hear you out, dig in to investigate your case, and explore all viable legal options. We are known for providing formidable DUI/DWI defense, aggressively challenging illegal searches and seizures in drug cases, and building strong, credible defense cases in a range of other matters ranging from violent crimes to "white collar" offenses such as fraud or embezzlement.
Whether your case calls for assertive negotiation to get an outcome you can live with, or you need a criminal defense lawyer who will build a strong case and fight for you in court, we encourage you to contact us at Goldberg & Allen, LLP. It is highly likely you can find a lawyer who will plead out or defend your case at a lower cost. However, if you want to know all your options and mount a strong defense or negotiate an outcome from a position of strength, we are an outstanding resource.
