I offer those with Desk Appearance Tickets the perfect combination of experience, client care, and affordability.

EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS

I have been practicing criminal defense exclusively for more than 30 years in New York City and surrounding counties.  I have handled all manner of accusations from the least to the most serious, from arrest through trial.  I am familiar with the judges, the prosecutors and the court staff.  I have likely handled countless cases just like yours.  I know your case is serious for you.  I will use my extensive experience to make sure your perhaps relatively simple problem is solved well.

RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE ADVICE

When I take on Desk Appearance Ticket cases, my client has the opportunity to obtain the valuable advice of an efficient veteran lawyer in a straightforward context.  This means my clients enjoy the comfort of knowing they have reliable legal advice that isn't going to take hundreds of hours to research. Less time required means less money spent by my clients.  In fact, I handle many of the more common DAT situations for simple, flat, fixed rates.  

SATISFIED CLIENTS

I have a long record of making sure that my clients are quite satisfied with my services.  Being charged with a crime is never a fun experience, so it is hard to suggest that any person charged with a crime is happy at the end of the case.  Even a triumphant trial victory in criminal court comes at the cost of quite a bit of time and worry.

Nevertheless, my Desk Appearance Ticket clients are routinely delighted with the initial, calm, thoughtful, zero pressure consultations, the reasonable fees, the 100% "in the loop" experience during the process, and the care devoted to each case, even straightforward cases like most Desk Appearance Tickets. 

I do not ask our clients for non-anonymous recommendations because my clients are entitled to the anonymity that attorney-client privilege demands. Here, however, is a representative email from one of my Desk Appearance Ticket clients, that I obtained permission to reprint anonymously.

“Thank you very much for your direct and honest valuable advise throughout this ordeal. This was in stark contrast to the many other lawyers I had contacted initially, most of whom seem to take advantage of the fact that an individual may be vulnerable and may not do the research required to understand the process. Scaremongering seemed to be the norm; one lawyer was charging up to 15k in fees as he wanted me to know that a jail sentence may be a potential outcome!

Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate your assistance.”
