New York Criminal Defense Lawyers
Results-Driven Criminal Defense and Civil Lawsuit Representation
We are a proven, collaborative team of two former First Deputy Bureau Chiefs in the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. Since establishing our private practice in 1996, we have focused on applying our skills to high-stakes criminal defense — and holding New York City authorities accountable for abuses of power.
Our criminal defense work is active, rigorous, and informed by our extensive knowledge of criminal law, police procedures, and prosecution strategies. One area of clear strength is DWI defense — more critical than ever for defendants due to recent changes in the law that make consequences of conviction far more severe.
