Expert Defense: What to Expect from Criminal Law Firms in New York

When navigating the legal landscape of criminal defense in New York, choosing the right law firm is crucial. Criminal law firms in New York are known for their expertise in defending clients against a wide range of charges, from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies. These firms are staffed with seasoned attorneys who specialize in criminal defense, often bringing years of experience and a deep understanding of the state’s criminal justice system.

One of the key aspects that set criminal law firms in New York apart is their familiarity with the local court systems. The New York criminal justice system is complex, with its own set of rules, procedures, and key players. A knowledgeable attorney from a local firm will have established relationships with prosecutors, judges, and other legal professionals, which can be advantageous in negotiating plea deals, understanding the nuances of a particular court, or strategizing for a trial. This local expertise is particularly valuable in a city as large and diverse as New York, where each borough may have its own legal culture and practices.

Another critical factor when considering criminal law firms in New York is their approach to client representation. The best firms are client-centered, meaning they focus on understanding the unique circumstances of each case and tailoring their defense strategies accordingly. This personalized approach ensures that every aspect of the client's situation is considered, from the evidence at hand to the potential impact of a conviction on the client's life. Whether the case involves drug offenses, white-collar crimes, violent crimes, or DUI charges, a good criminal defense attorney will craft a defense strategy that is specific to the client's needs and goals.

Furthermore, criminal law firms in New York are often at the forefront of legal innovation, leveraging the latest technology and investigative techniques to build robust defenses. This might include using forensic experts, private investigators, and cutting-edge legal research tools to challenge the prosecution’s case. In high-stakes criminal cases, where the consequences of a conviction can include long-term imprisonment, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record, having a law firm that employs all available resources can make a significant difference.

It’s also important to note that many criminal law firms in New York offer a broad range of services beyond just defense in court. These can include pre-trial services, such as bail hearings and negotiations, as well as post-conviction services, such as appeals and expungements. By providing comprehensive legal support, these firms ensure that their clients are fully supported at every stage of the legal process.

Lastly, when selecting a criminal law firm in New York, it’s essential to consider the firm’s track record. Reputable firms will have a history of successfully defending clients, with case results that demonstrate their ability to achieve favorable outcomes. This could be in the form of case dismissals, reduced charges, or acquittals. Potential clients should look for firms that are transparent about their past successes and are willing to discuss how they’ve handled cases similar to theirs.

In conclusion, criminal law firms in New York are uniquely equipped to handle the complexities of criminal defense. With their local expertise, client-focused approach, and commitment to using all available resources, these firms play a vital role in defending the rights and freedoms of those accused of crimes. Whether facing minor charges or serious criminal allegations, partnering with a skilled criminal defense attorney from a reputable New York firm is essential for navigating the legal system effectively.

Ok it was partly the politics of Vigilante 1983 being insane so in order for Adrian to have a unsupportive dad that was also a big-time lawyer and the opposite of him he had to not like prosecution work but also like obviously making him a normal defense lawyer would’ve been outright bad and weird so the guys problem with Adrian was that hes not making enough money and him becoming the District Attorney Of New York City didnt mean SHIT because he wasnt WORKING FOR THE FAMILY FIRM !!!

And its like oh my god no wonder Dorian turned out like that.

Christopher Mathias and Matt Shuham at HuffPost:

Real estate developer Reuven Kahane, whose cousin founded a notorious group deemed a “violent extremist” organization by the FBI, was arrested in New York City on Tuesday after he allegedly drove his car into a group of pro-Palestinian protesters, injuring a 55-year-old woman. Kahane, 57, was charged with second-degree assault, a New York City Police Department spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost. Police said the Upper East Side real estate developer was driving his car near the corner of Park Avenue and 72nd Street on Tuesday morning when he got into a dispute with a group of about 25 pro-Palestinian protesters who were marching nearby. As the protesters began to disperse, Kahane allegedly drove his car into the crowd, striking Maryellen Novak, who was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries. The incident was first reported on X (formerly Twitter) by Talia Jane, an independent journalist in New York City. Reached by phone Wednesday, Kahane told HuffPost, in reference to the protest, “I was driving home from dropping off my daughter at school, and live within seven blocks of the location.” He declined to comment further on the incident.

Referring to his relative Meir Kahane, a rabbi who founded the extremist Jewish Defense League, he said, “My cousin passed away more than three decades ago and should have no influence in this story.” Novak and another protester, 63-year-old John Rozendaal, were arrested on charges of criminal mischief. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said in a statement Wednesday that it would decline to prosecute Novak and Rozendaal. Reuven Kahane’s attorneys, Sara Shulevitz and Mindy Meyer, told HuffPost that their client pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree assault during an arraignment Wednesday morning. His next court appearance is set for June 25.

[...] The pro-Palestinian protesters had been picketing outside the residence of a Columbia University trustee. This came during weekslong demonstrations from students, faculty and alumni demanding that the Ivy League school divest its endowment funds from companies and weapons manufacturers that have business with Israel’s government amid that country’s ongoing siege of Gaza, which has killed around 35,000 Palestinians, 24,000 of whom were women and children. According to a statement from Columbia University Apartheid Divest, or CUAD — the group that organized Tuesday’s demonstration — Kahane initially drove up to the protesters in his car and asked for a flyer. When one of the protesters handed him a flyer, Kahane grabbed the protester’s arm, the statement said. Kahane then “parked in front of the picketers until we started leaving, then circled the block to drive into our peaceful demonstration,” the statement continued. “One member of CUAD’s de-escalation team was struck and has since been hospitalized.”

[...] Kahane is the cousin once removed of Meir Kahane, whose Jewish Defense League was designated a “right-wing terror group” and a “violent extremist” organization by the FBI. Meir Kahane was killed in New York City by an Egyptian American man in 1990; the killer was acquitted of murder but would go on to participate in the 1993 World Trade Center attack. He was later convicted on federal charges related to the rabbi’s death.

Reuven Kahane, the cousin of far-right extremist rabbi Meir Kahane, was charged with second-degree assault as a result of driving his car into pro-Palestine protestors in NYC.

Give us the lore!! Honestly, she lowkey does give off rich girlie vibes! Quick day trips over to the US and an apartment in NYC while in Paris! I hope Vincent got himself a rich soon to be the mother of his child.

Leah’s paternal side of her family is very rich. All lawyers. Her mother, however, came from a middle class family in Brooklyn. She was an art school teacher. Always painting, with Leah as her muse (I have so many reference paintings saved, it’s actual insanity.) Leah grew up in a colorful household with two parents who were very different people. Corporate dad, laid back mom. Literally opposites attract scenario. Her mother struggled with mental illness and committed sewerslide when Leah was 15/16. She hates her father and blames him for it because he was inattentive and having an affair with his now wife. Leah barely speaks to him but he financially buys her love and she lets him 💅 she let him pay for her pre-law schooling and actual law schooling. As for her having an apartment in NYC, Leah grew up in midtown Manhattan and inherited her childhood apartment. Home girl is pushing thirty-three and is a successful criminal defense/family lawyer/attorney, so she’s far from helpless but as far as being a nepo baby, I’d say that’s a fair assumption.

Word vomit incoming 😂

I started succession and i blame you 😂 and like this is the most unhinged show ive ever seen, i’m only 4 eps in but what i actually wanted to say is that this entire time i can not stop thinking about texas sun’s reader and how i kinda imagine her being a member of a similar family except everyone is as unhinged as in succession and she’s the closest one to being a normal human being. And just like i feel that at some point (if we ignore the outbreak and pretend they had more time) she has to have a conversation with joel about their family having a wealth consultant and i think thats just such a hilarious convo to have with someone and she’d think joel is gonna make fun of her and just like little snippets or similar plot here and there, like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IM UNHINGED 😂😂😂😂

hahaha i LOVE FORCING PEOPLE TO WATCH THIS SHOW. it's so unhinged like i truly went into that show watching it thinking it was about one thing when it ended up being about a completely different thing.

so im lame and i like to fill out extensive character sheets before i start fics so i have THOUGHT about all these things you are talking about and if you're interested they are all below the cut. worldbuilding/backstories are genuinely one of my favorite parts of writing fic

so weirdly i think her life is somewhat inspired by succession but i also was really pulling from phoebe and holden caulfield from the book catcher in the rye (i was obsessed with it in high school). i always thought holden's sensitivity towards his little sister phoebe was really sweet and that's what made me write reader and her brother the way i did. BUT in general, pieces of media about rich people living in nyc will always have a lot of similarities.

i feel like her family is not nearly as rich or famous or as fucked up as the roys. like i wrote her dad as a criminal defense attorney, i could see him making headlines for taking on cases with a lot of media attention but she wouldn't have to worry about being in the public eye. i also don't think her dad forced her and her brother to compete with each other to be involved in the business or to get his approval -- a lot of the tension between her and her brother stems from how they both responded to their dad's abuse and neglect. her brother stuck around and tried to mend his relationship with their father, but she was like 'fuck this, im out'.

but the wealth consultant!!! lmao. i feel like joel definitely got hints that she was rich but she maybe never rubbed it in his face or she tried to (poorly) play it off. like her ass went to private school and played tennis i think he gets it. but i did imagine that she had cut herself off financially from her dad at that point, just to prove she could do it alone. BUT i still think her dad would've left her money after he died. and maybe that's when she'd be a little more forthcoming about the differences in their upbringings. he might've teased her for being kind of spoiled but i also feel like even though she was spoiled there were a lot of things she DIDNT get growing up. but yeah, he would've ultimately been fine with it because without the outbreak, he probably could've ended up being a stay at home dad 😂😂😂

At least 11 protesters were arrested as they clashed with authorities in New York City on Monday night, during demonstrations over the killing of Jordan Neely, who was choked to death on the F train earlier this month.

Crowds of protesters gathered outside the subway station in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood where Neely was killed on May 1, CBS New York reported. Authorities stopped traffic in the surrounding area and made several arrests, taking some protesters into custody who were bleeding from their heads, according to the news station. Police estimated that more than 150 people were involved in the demonstration.

NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey acknowledged protesters' right to demonstrate over "the senseless death" of Neely, but said at a news conference late on Monday that people in the crowd had broken the law, including by bringing weapons and dangerous substances to the demonstration. Maddrey noted specifically that authorities found a Molotov cocktail at the intersection where the crowd had gathered to protest.

For days, protesters have been calling for the arrest of Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old student and U.S. Marine Corps veteran who, in video footage lasting nearly three minutes, can be seen placing Neely in the chokehold that led to his death. Although the New York City medical examiner formally ruled 30-year-old Neely's death a homicide, Penny has not been criminally charged in the killing. The former Marine was questioned by police, but released the same day.

The case is expected to go before a grand jury this week, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg faces growing pressure to file criminal charges against Penny. The grand jury will determine whether or not to bring charges. 

Protesters have said they will continue to demonstrate until Penny is arrested. Monday's demonstration over Neely's death followed another over the weekend inside a subway station at 63rd Street and Lexington Avenue. Authorities say a crowd of about 100 people stormed the station, with some jumping onto the subway tracks in protest. At least 12 people were arrested during the demonstration, where multiple officers were injured, and police later released photos of six other alleged protesters wanted for criminal trespassing in connection with the incident.

Neely, a homeless man who performed in New York City as a Michael Jackson impersonator, had a history of mental illness as well as an arrest record, sources previously told CBS New York. Witnesses and Penny's attorney said that Neely was acting erratically, yelling about being tired and hungry, on the subway train when Penny, allegedly attempting to subdue him, placed Neely in the fatal restraint. 

On Monday, Neely's family urged city officials to take action to move his case forward in a statement released by their attorneys. 

They argued that Penny's "actions on the train," as well as his own statement released after the fact, "show why he needs to be in prison." A press release issued on Penny's behalf by his attorney last week said the former Marine "never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death," calling the deadly chokehold "a tragic incident on the NYC subway."

Michael Bachner, the former assistant district attorney in Manhattan, told CBS Mornings that a grand jury could potentially find that Penny acted in self defense when he restrained Neely on the subway.

"I think what happened is, things got really out of control. But horrible accidents can sometimes turn into a manslaughter," Bachner said. "The testimony of other people on the train, how endangered they may have felt, how heightened and really kind of scary and aggressive the whole situation was, that could lead to the conclusion that he acted in self defense."

But Lennon Edwards, the attorney for Neely's family, argued that Penny should be held accountable for his role in the killing.

"Justice, immediately, means an arrest," Edwards told CBS Mornings. "It means following the process through, and letting Daniel Penny have a day in court where he tries to prove that none of this is what we know it to be. A murder."

Navigating Employment Law in NYC Your Essential Guide

Running a small business or managing human resources in New York City can be a complex task, especially when it comes to understanding employment law Attorney NYC. With regulations constantly evolving, it’s crucial to stay informed to avoid legal pitfalls.

This blog post will guide you through the essential aspects of employment law that every small business owner and HR manager in NYC should know. From hiring practices to workplace safety, we’ll cover it all with practical tips and real-world examples. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to protect your business and ensure compliance with local labor laws.

Understanding Employment Law in NYC

What is Employment Law?

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees. In NYC, it includes a variety of regulations that address issues like wages, discrimination, and workplace safety. Knowing these laws can help you create a fair and compliant work environment.

Why is it Important?

Understanding employment law is vital because non-compliance can lead to costly legal disputes and damage to your business reputation. For instance, not paying overtime wages or ignoring safety standards can result in hefty fines and lawsuits.

Key Regulations to Know

NYC has specific regulations that differ from federal laws. These include minimum wage requirements, paid sick leave, and anti-discrimination laws. Staying updated on these can help you avoid legal trouble.

Wage and Hour Laws

Minimum Wage Requirements

NYC has its own minimum wage laws, which can be higher than federal requirements. As of 2023, the minimum wage for large employers (11 or more employees) is $15 per hour. Make sure to stay updated as these rates can change.

Overtime Pay

Employees who work more than 40 hours a week are entitled to overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times their regular wage. It's crucial to track work hours accurately to ensure compliance.

Payroll Practices

Accurate payroll management is essential. This includes timely payments, proper deductions, and keeping detailed records. Mismanagement can lead to penalties and employee dissatisfaction.

Hiring Practices

From hiring practices to handling grievances, each aspect of employment law requires attention to detail and a commitment to compliance. Remember, staying informed and proactive is your best defense against legal issues.

If you need personalized advice, consulting with an employment attorney in New York can provide the guidance you need. Keep your business thriving by staying ahead of the legal curve. For more detailed guidance, consider booking a consultation with an expert employment law attorney in NYC today.

Conducting Legal Interviews

When interviewing candidates, it’s important to ask questions that are relevant to the job and avoid those that could be seen as discriminatory. For example, questions about a candidate’s age, marital status, or religion are off-limits.

Background Checks

Background checks are a common part of the hiring process, but they must be conducted legally. NYC’s Fair Chance Act regulates how and when you can inquire about a candidate’s criminal history.

Employment Contracts

Having clear, written employment contracts can prevent misunderstandings and disputes. These should outline job responsibilities, compensation, and termination conditions.

Discrimination Laws

Understanding Protected Classes

In NYC, discrimination based on race, gender, age, and other protected characteristics is illegal. It's important to foster an inclusive workplace and train your staff on these regulations.

Handling Complaints

When a discrimination complaint arises, handle it promptly and professionally. Investigate thoroughly and take appropriate action to resolve the issue. Documenting your process can protect your business in case of legal action.

Promoting Diversity

Promoting diversity isn't just compliant—it's beneficial. Diverse teams bring different perspectives, which can lead to innovative solutions and a more dynamic work environment.

Employee Benefits

Mandatory Benefits

Certain benefits are legally required, such as Social Security, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. Understanding your obligations can help you stay compliant.

Voluntary Benefits

Many employers offer additional benefits like health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off to attract and retain talent. These benefits can make your business more competitive.

Benefit Administration

Administering benefits can be complex. Consider using HR software to manage enrollments, claims, and communications efficiently.

Federal Grand Juries

By way of introduction to this first segment, I’d like to remind people that none of the people speaking about grand juries here are lawyers, but we are sharing information we’ve gotten from lawyers and legal experts to the best of our abilities. I’m going to read a bit from the website NCResistsTheGrandJury.Wordpress.Com:

What is a Grand Jury?

In the federal legal system, the grand jury is used to decide whether someone should be charged (“indicted”) for a serious crime. The grand jury hears evidence presented by the prosecutor: the U.S. Attorney. The grand jury uses subpoenas to gather this evidence. It can subpoena documents, physical evidence, and witnesses to testify. The “special” federal grand jury, created in 1970, can be used to investigate “possible” organized criminal activity rather than a specific crime. The California legal system also has grand juries, but it is optional whether criminal prosecutions are initiated by grand jury indictment, or by a complaint by the District Attorney and preliminary hearing before a judge.

How is a Grand Jury Different Than a Trial Jury?

Unlike the “petit” jury, which is used to determine guilt in a trial, a grand jury consists of 16 to 23 jurors who are not screened for bias. The purpose of the grand jury is not to determine guilt or innocence, but to decide whether there is probable cause to prosecute someone for a felony crime. The grand jury operates in secrecy and the normal rules of evidence do not apply. The prosecutor runs the proceedings and no judge is present. Defense lawyers are not allowed to be present in the grand jury room and cannot present evidence, but may be available outside the room to consult with witnesses. The prosecutor and the grand jury members may not reveal what occurred in the grand jury room and witnesses cannot obtain a transcript of their testimony.

How Has the Grand Jury Been Used by the State?

Because of their broad subpoena powers and secretive nature, grand juries have been used by the government to gather information on political movements and to disrupt those movements by causing fear and mistrust. The grand jury lends itself to being used for improper political investigation due in part to the prosecutor’s ability to question witnesses without regard for rules that prohibit irrelevant, unreliable or unlawfully obtained evidence. Those called before the grand jury may be compelled to answer any question, even those relating to lawful personal and political activities. That information has been used by the government as a basis to conduct further surveillance and disruption of political dissent. When used against political movements, the grand jury causes fear and mistrust because persons who refuse to answer questions about their First Amendment political activities, friends and associates may be jailed for the life of the grand jury: up to 18 months. If a witness asserts their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, they may be forced to accept immunity or go to jail for contempt. Even a witness who attempts to cooperate can be jailed if minor inconsistencies are found in their testimony. Such a perjury charge may stand even when the grand jury fails to hand down any indictment for what it was ostensibly investigating.

The grand jury is a complicated and opaque process, by design.  Our movements have decades of experience resisting grand juries, and there are resources available to learn more and support those who resist. If you have been contacted by federal law enforcement, the National Lawyers Guild has a national federal defense hotline at 212-679-2811.

Who is Matthew Mahrer ( man accused of plotting to attack NYC synagogues ) Wiki, Bio, Age, Crime, Arrest, Incident details, Investigations and More Facts

Matthew Mahrer Biography                           Matthew Mahrer Wiki

A Manhattan judge on Wednesday freed one of two men accused of planning an attack on New York synagogues, after prosecutors asked for the second time in two weeks to keep him in jail without bail.

Assistant District Attorney Edward Burns argued disturbing new facts in the case of Matthew Mahrer , 22, were reason enough to keep him incarcerated after his family posted $150,000 bond to have him released on 21 November. “We now know that Mahrer, Brown and third person traveled to Pennsylvania on November 18 to purchase a gun. This individual traveling with them has been arrested by federal authorities,” Burns said. A neo-Nazi who plotted to attack NYC synagogues was released on bond. Matthew Mahrer, 22, had a long gun, ammunition, ballistic vest in his UWS apartment, bought a long gun for his Nazi friend Christopher Brown. Mahrer’s defense leaned on his Jewish ancestry for leniency. pic.twitter.com/qwGN1H8cpN — Talia Jane ❤️‍🔥 (@taliaotg) December 7, 2022 Prior to his Nov. 19 arrest, Mahrer had sent an anonymous payment to the jailer for the weapon he and Brown hoped to use in possible attacks last month, prosecutors said. Burns also told the judge that the troubled Upper West Sider – who his lawyer said suffered from bipolar disorder and autism – bought a body armor before he and Brown were arrested with guns and a Nazi armband in connection with the alleged plot. But defense attorney Brandon Lamour Freycinet said the information was already known when Mahrer's bail was posted on November 20. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Neil Ross sided with the defense, but warned that Mahrer must continue to appear in court or his family would be forced to forfeit their already posted bond. "Make sure you understand that this is the most important commitment you've had in your life," Judge warned. Mahrer was then seen casually tugging on a vape pen as he strolled through lower Manhattan with his attorney. He declined to comment. Outside the courthouse, District Attorney Alvin Bragg held a press conference on why his office had twice called for the suspect to be taken into custody. “We requested remand when the charges were first filed. We asked today because of the seriousness of the facts when we made our request,” he added. “The judge has ruled. He added that it was "important" to point out that Brown was held without bond last month. Brown also appeared in court on Wednesday in handcuffs when he and Mahrer were charged with the alleged conspiracy charges. Last month, police seized a loaded handgun with an extended magazine and body armor that Mahrer and Brown allegedly intended to use in an attack on a synagogue, prosecutors said. The two were charged with a variety of charges including conspiracy, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm. Brown also faces terrorism and hate crime charges.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will not prosecute the parking-garage attendant who shot a suspected thief after getting wounded himself, the DA’s office told The Post on Sunday.

Moussa Diarra, 57, was shot twice by alleged thief Charles Rhodie, 59, early Saturday before turning the tables on the suspect and pumping a bullet into him with the accused criminal’s handgun, authorities said.

Yet cops charged Diarra with attempted murder, assault and gun possession in the case, while Rhodie was slapped with those three raps as well as burglary.

But Bragg — who is already under fire for indicting former President Donald Trump last week in a fraud-related case — will dismiss the case against Diarra “pending further investigation,” his office said.

The raps remain against Rhodie, who police sources say has at least 20 prior arrests, mostly for petit larceny, with the most recent one occurring in 2018. Diarra has no priors, sources said.

“We are more than pleased with the result,” Diarra’s lawyer, Charles Clayman, told The Post on Sunday.

“I think what they wanted to do was sort things out, and both men had been shot,” he said of police. “And they just didn’t have time just to start talking to witnesses at that point.

“By this morning, people understood exactly what had happened, what a hero and victim my client was. Obviously not the perpetrator,” he said.

“So all’s well that ends well.”

The shooting occurred at a West 31st Street parking garage around 5:30 a.m. Saturday, cops said.

Diarra spotted Rhodie peering into cars in the garage and confronted him, demanding to know what was in his bag, police sources have said.

Rhodie allegedly responded by pulling a gun and shooting the attendant twice.

Diarra then wrestled the gun away and fired at Rhodie, hitting him in the chest, sources said.

An NYPD rep said Sunday that the cops’ decision to also charge Diarra was made “with the guidance of the DA’s office” and referred further questions to prosecutors.

Diarra’s lawyer said Sunday, “We were in constant touch with the DA, and I just think that the police on the scene felt that that was the right thing to do.

“And then things would be sorted out by the DA, and I believe that’s what happened.”

The case bears striking similarities to two recent Manhattan cases that were later dropped by Bragg’s office.

Junior Aquino Hernandez, a worker at a Harlem fish market, was initially charged with murder for stabbing one man to death and wounding his brother Feb. 21.

Hernandez, 34, claimed self-defense when he fatally stabbed 25-year-old Malik Burrell and wounded Robert “Bobby” Burrell, 29, saying the pair returned to attack the fishmongers after getting caught trying to steal shrimp.

Prosecutors eventually dropped the murder charge against Hernandez pending further investigation.

Last year, 61-year-old Manhattan bodega worker Jose Alba also was famously charged in the stabbing death of Austin Simon, who was seen on video assaulting Alba behind the counter.

After widespread outcry from the community and some local politicians, the charges against Alba were also dismissed.

What are some common Family Disputes?

Families get into dispute over many various topics. Here are some cases:

Divorce and Partition issues, Couple Relationship Issues, Childcare, Grandparents Rights, Inheritance, Elder care, Extended family conflicts, Family business and partnerships, Estranged family members.

Nobody imagines getting themselves in a dispute mainly within the family.
