Like most people faced with seeking legal representation, you are probably searching for an attorney with expert legal knowledge. But you probably also realize that expert legal knowledge isn't enough. Knowledge does little to quickly improve your chances for a favorable outcome unless it is also accompanied by a philosophy to pursue your objectives in an extraordinary way.
Our philosophy is two-fold: First, provide an aggressive legal representation that includes attention to detail, focusing on the strengths of your case, and exploiting the weaknesses in the other party's or prosecutor's case.

County Court Judge Barbara Kahn announced her verdict in the non-jury trial of Jason Lee, a one-time top executive with Goldman Sachs, before a jam-packed courtroom in Riverhead, L.I.
The judge also found Lee, 38, was not guilty of sexual misconduct and assault.
He faced up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the rape charge.
So much for the notion of leisurely small-town lawyering.
Burke has even taken high-profile cases involving murder and vehicular assaults, the likes of which necessitate a fair amount of delicacy in a notoriously gossipy area.

Q: What will happen on my first court date and do I have to be there if I have a Lawyer or Criminal Defense Attorney?
A: The first Criminal Court date is called an arraignment.
On this day a plea will be entered to the charges (guilty, not guilty).
Usually, the police reports and a list of charges (Complaint) are obtained.
The defendant in misdemeanor cases will usually not have to be present if represented by an attorney.
At arraignment, issues of bail are raised.
For example, license suspensions may be discussed in DWI cases.
