I have extensive experience litigating criminal defense cases in New York City.
[00:00:09.280] 
I've been doing it for over 20 years.
[00:00:11.080] 
From our New York City office, we're a short train ride away
[00:00:14.040] 
from the Criminal Courts in Manhattan
[00:00:16.440] 
Criminal Courts in Brooklyn,  Criminal Courts in the Bronx,
[00:00:19.320] 
and the Criminal Courts in Queens.
[00:00:20.960] 
I've handled cases  in four out of the five boroughs.
[00:00:24.000] 
No matter what you've been charged with in the city,
[00:00:25.840] 
our attorneys have the experience to handle the defense of that case.
[00:00:28.960] 
If you are accused  of a crime in New York City,
[00:00:31.240] 
you want to call  our attorneys right away.
[00:00:33.800] 
You don't want to speak with the detectives,
[00:00:35.160] 
you want us to contact the detectives on your behalf,
[00:00:39.040] 
maybe arrange for a surrender where you just go in
[00:00:41.560] 
and you get processed in court  and then get right back out.
[00:00:43.920] 
You don't want to give them any evidence against you.
[00:00:47.480] 
A lot of times  if you speak to a detective,
[00:00:48.960] 
particularly in certain precincts in New York City,
[00:00:51.360] 
whatever you say is going to get manipulated and twisted.
[00:00:54.720] 
You really want  an attorney on your side early on
[00:00:57.000] 
so we can start building your defense.
[00:00:59.160] 
In working with somebody  who's been charged with a crime,
[00:01:02.120] 
we understand  how emotionally devastating it could be.
[00:01:07.000] 
We go the extra mile especially with the professionals
[00:01:09.240] 
who are charged with crimes  to protect their reputation,
[00:01:12.120] 
to bring a resolution  to the case that doesn't affect
[00:01:16.440] 
their professional occupation  going forward.
[00:01:19.920] 
We try to get people through the process
[00:01:22.440] 
as quickly as possible, those little collateral damage.
