Manhattan Supreme Court - Grand Larceny

Manhattan Supreme Court - Grand Larceny

Our client, employed in finance, was charged with felony counts of Grand Larceny, punishable by up to seven years in state prison, and other offenses in a case that riveted the city and captured the attention of the media throughout the state and nation. Our client was accused of going to open houses for apartment sales throughout New York and stealing all sorts of valuable property after posing as a potential buyer. After extensive negotiations with the prosecutor and presenting the prosecution with a "Clayton" type motion, the prosecutor agreed have our client return to Supreme Court a few times over the course of a year to make sure certain requirements were being followed. After that year, the prosecutor would move for an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD) thereby dismissing the case that was initially charged as a felony.

Manhattan (pre-indictment) - Rape

Our client, a hedge fund analyst, was falsely accused of raping an acquaintance after a party at his apartment. After stopping the police from questioning and arresting our client, we located and contacted almost every individual who attended the party and obtained a statement from them. Upon gathering this information, we confronted prosecutors with this evidence that their detectives failed to obtain and that vindicated our client. Not persuaded and continuing to pursue our client on rape charges, the prosecution claimed that a drug was used to rape the complainant. Although a toxicology report substantiated that a drug was in the complainant's system, research into the particular drug  revealed that the drug could not possibly have been used by our client at the time of the alleged incident as this particular substance required ingestion by the complainant days in advance and in an amount that would be impossible to disguise. After challenging the prosecution at every turn, prosecutors ultimately agreed to drop all the charges.

Manhattan Criminal Court - DWI

Our client, a CEO, was charged with a DWI after blowing a .108 and admitting he had a few beers. After negotiations with the prosecutor on the merits of the case, the impact of a conviction on our client's career, as well as my client's family, the prosecutor permitted my client to plead to a violation, not a crime, of Disorderly Conduct. Not only is this type of disposition extremely rare, but the plea saved our client from any embarrassment, fines, or life altering consequences of having any type of DWI misdemeanor or violation on his record.

Our client was charged with assault after striking another man in the head area multiple times with the handle of an axe. After obtaining his release at his arraignment we aggressively challenged the prosecutions case and established that our client acted in self defense. As a result, we obtained a complete dismissal of the charges on the first date our client returned to court.

Manhattan (Pre-arrest) - Grand Larceny

Our client had been using his deceased mother's credit card since 1993 and owed approximately $27,000 on that card. After recognizing the alleged fraud on my client's part, the credit card company sought out my client in reference to payment and possible criminal action. After negotiating with the company we were able to obtain a written agreement halting the interest fees and reducing the amount owed to a set amount of $18,000. Moreover, the client was permitted to pay off the debt in three years and the credit card company agreed not to pursue any criminal charges with any law enforcement agency.
