In over 20 years as an attorney, I've worked on both sides of the courtroom. I know how the prosecution works and will use that insight to defend my clients using all the tricks of the trade. As an award-winning trial lawyer, I won't rest until every avenue of your defense has been exhausted. You deserve an attorney who knows the system and who treats you with honesty; who listens to your concerns without sugar coating the situation.
I will always share information I receive from the prosecutor with you as soon as it's in my hands. As your advocate, I will be next to you in court the entire time. I won't give up on you and will work to defend you to the best of my abilities. The only person who knows the whole story is you. Share it with me in an unbiased, judgment-free environment and we'll build our case from there.
I'll arrange to visit the scene of the crime, ask for relevant photos, and investigate every defense in the book if it will help us tell your story and win your case. Poughkeepsie is known for its arts and entertainment institutions including the Bardavon 1869 Opera House.

Organized crime cases are often high profile and take high priority in the eyes of the criminal justice system.
This means that individuals charged with an offense relating to organized crime often face the full weight of the prosecution's office; in many cases, the prosecutor will devote the majority of his resources to obtaining a conviction.
Oftentimes these investigations will involve wiretaps and eavesdropping warrants, pen registers, and search warrants.
If you have been arrested or informed that you are the target of an investigation related to organized crime, it is important that you obtain quality legal representation immediately.
