Criminal Defense
We understand the simple principle that sometimes in life, “bad things happen to good people.” A typical Firm client is an individual, often with no criminal record, who is accused of a “heat-of-passion” crime of violence, narcotics violation based on addiction, fraud crime, and some other major federal and state felony. We are keenly aware that those accused of such crimes deserve the best defense in order to protect their constitutional rights and to preserve their record. In the zealous defense of criminal cases brought by local and regional law enforcement, our attorneys offer high-intensity representation utilizing excellent resources, including private investigators with federal and state law enforcement backgrounds, state-of-the-art forensic evidence evaluation, and consultations with renowned psychiatric experts.
Our attorneys also provide the highest quality defense to indigent clients in state and federal courts as members of the following organizations: Suffolk Lawyers for Justice, Inc., (Adult and Juvenile Divisions), the Criminal Justice Act Panel (Federal Court), the Committee for Public Counsel Services’ Appellate Division Panel and the Committee for Public Counsel Services’ Murder List.
