Proven Murder and Assault Defense in New York City
Your effective defense against a charge of murder, attempted homicide, manslaughter, any level of assault, or aggravated harassment may depend on your lawyer's knowledge of complex investigations and police tactics. When you contact us at Goldberg & Allen, LLP, we are prepared to explore and question every aspect of your case — with knowledge and perspective gained as high-level prosecutors as well as successful, veteran defense attorneys.
Veteran Attorneys who Have Obtained Acquittals and Reduced Charges
Allegations that you have committed a violent crime call for serious counsel and representation. A murder, manslaughter, or serious assault charge could bring prison time and other devastating consequences. We have tried such major felony cases, winning acquittals and other positive outcomes such as:
- Obtaining a not guilty verdict for a Brooklyn man charged with causing the death of his infant child
- Exonerating two New York City police officers of wrongdoing before a Brooklyn grand jury in the defensive shooting death of a murder suspect who turned out to be unarmed
- Successfully defeating a murder charge against a young woman accused of killing her newborn, resulting in a conviction of a lower level offense and a sentence of probation rather than a likely sentence of life in prison
Deep Knowledge of Evidence, Procedure and Police Tactics
Beyond potential jail or prison time, even a misdemeanor assault conviction or a guilty plea to harassment involving e-mail or telephone threats can have a serious impact on your life — limiting your job prospects and appearing anytime someone does a background check on you. A domestic violence conviction can have these effects, bar you from possessing weapons, and even limit contact with your own children.
We know how to defend these cases effectively and aggressively — with thorough investigation and in-depth critical analysis that can disrupt the prosecution's case. Even if you have signed a confession, we can delve into police methods that may amount to coercion and exclude that evidence.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for a violent offense — whether the charge is unfounded or you believe circumstances need to be taken into account — you can turn to us at Goldberg & Allen in Manhattan. Your initial consultation will be free and informative.
