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 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.

Queens Supreme Court - Insurance Fraud

In conjunction with one of the prior criminal defense firms, our client was charged with felony Insurance Fraud after our client allegedly reported our client's car stolen. The car, however, was brought to a "chop shop" operated by the police. Our client worked at a large corporation and a felony or a misdemeanor plea would have devastating consequences on our client's future and possibly result in our client's termination. After Jeremy Saland drafted an extensive memorandum on our client's history, the merits of the case and its weaknesses, as well as extensive negotiations with the prosecutor, the District Attorney's Office permitted our client to plea down from a felony to a Disorderly Conduct violation. As a result, our client did not sustain any criminal record and our client's future and family's future was not in jeopardy.

Brooklyn Criminal Court - Assault

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.
