PRIORITY
Criminal defense is what I do. It is my focus. It is my strength. And it shows in my results. Some law firms advertise both personal injury and criminal defense. Ask yourself: How much attention will your criminal case really get when a personal injury settlement brings in more money?
“I focus solely on protecting your rights, your freedom, and your future.“
Your case is a priority to you. It is a priority to me. When your freedom is on the line, you need more than a general practitioner. For over three decades, I have focused exclusively on criminal defense – not personal injury, nor side practices – just protecting the rights of people charged with serious crimes in New York.
UNDIVIDED FOCUS
I practice criminal defense exclusively. That focus allows me to give every client the time, preparation, and advocacy their case deserves. Many firms split their attention between criminal defense and personal injury. But your freedom, your future, and your reputation deserve more than divided focus. If you want a dedicated, experienced, and client-centered criminal defense lawyer in NYC, I am here to help.
SINGULAR PURPOSE
Criminal defense isn’t just part of my practice – it is my practice. When some firms divide their time between personal injury and criminal cases, I focus exclusively on defending people charged with crimes in New York. If you want a lawyer who is fully engaged, highly experienced, and committed to your defense, contact me now
