NEW YORK FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE
A Powerful Defense When You’re Facing Federal Charges
When you are facing the weight of the United States government, the stakes could not be higher. In New York City, federal prosecutions are driven by agencies with immense resources, the FBI, DEA, IRS, SEC, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. Their investigators are relentless, their prosecutors experienced, and their conviction rates high. If you are under investigation or already indicted, you need more than a lawyer; you need an advocate who understands the federal system inside and out, and who can stand toe-to-toe with the government.

New York Federal Criminal Defense Process
Federal cases rarely begin with an arrest out of the blue. Often, they start quietly, with a subpoena, a grand jury summons, or agents making contact. The earliest moments are critical. By intervening quickly, we can help shape the narrative, protect your rights during questioning, and sometimes prevent charges from being filed at all.
If charges are brought, we challenge the government’s evidence through motions and discovery, working to suppress anything unlawfully obtained and holding prosecutors accountable for overreach. When a trial is necessary, we stand ready to fight aggressively in court. And if negotiation offers the best path forward, we pursue outcomes that preserve your future, whether through favorable plea agreements, reduced sentencing, or alternative resolutions.
