 CRIMINAL CASES - QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Q: Why hire me?

When you or somebody you know is charged with a crime in White Plains, Yonkers, Bedford, Harrison, New Rochelle or anywhere in Westchester County, it is essential that you have the best representation possible. It is not enough to have an experienced attorney who knows the law, you need an attorney who knows the police, the prosecutor and all those involved. You need an experienced lawyer who knows his way around the local court system. For over 30 years I have made it my business to know the people and policies that can affect your case.

Q: What is your first step?

If you have been arrested or contacted by law enforcement authorities, contact my offices to set up a free initial consultation before you make any statements to the police. I have over 30 years of experience representing clients throughout White Plains, Yonkers, Westchester and Putnam Counties as well as the entire the New York Metropolitan Area. In order to navigate through the criminal justice system to achieve a favorable outcome, you will need an experienced attorney.

Q:  Is a face to face meeting necessary?

Not necessarily but highly advisable. There is no substitute for a face to face meeting. No doubt you want to get a "feel" for the attorney who may be representing you, as I want to get a feel for my future client. At an office meeting, we will go over the details of your case as well as all other background information necessary to put your "best foot forward".

Q: Who will work on your case?

You are not dealing with an impersonal law firm, but a sole-practitioner who specializes in criminal matters. I will personally work on each and every step of your case and I am always available to discuss the specifics of your case. When you hire me, you get me.

Q: What about legal fees?

Legal fees are determined based on the complexity of your case. I cannot give you a specific dollar amount, but I can guarantee that my fees are extremely reasonable, and that your initial consultation is free (see legal fees area).
