We have represented adult criminal defendants in the state and federal trial courts of New Jersey and New York City for many years. We provide aggressive and personalized defense strategies in cases involving indictable or non-indictable offenses in New Jersey, and felonies or misdemeanors in New York City.

With extensive experience in all types of criminal cases, we work with our clients to evaluate their case and set a course that will lead to the most positive outcome available under the circumstances. In every criminal matter, we always seek to achieve the client's goals in a cost-effective and pragmatic way, while aggressively protecting their legal rights.

We handle criminal jury trials in all State and Federal trial courts of New Jersey and New York City, including the Superior Court of New Jersey, the New Jersey municipal courts, and the New York City Criminal Court. We also represent clients at trial in the United States District Court of New Jersey, and in the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.

Many adult criminal defendants have businesses, licenses and a professional reputation to protect. We represent many such adult clients, and are highly sensitive to their unique needs and circumstances.

Extensive experience in the New Jersey municipal courts, New Jersey Superior Court, New York City Criminal Court, and all Federal courts in New Jersey and New York City, provides all of our clients with the benefit of our wide-ranging perspective. We understand what is possible, what is practical, and how to protect constitutional rights and achieve favorable results in adult criminal matters. We also believe strongly that straight-forward and open communication assists clients in understanding their situation and achieving their personal goals.
