Criminal Law

Experienced New York Criminal Law Attorneys

At Pollard & Koenig, our lawyers assist clients defending themselves against criminal charges of every kind. We have been practicing New York criminal law attorneys for 12 years. Before that we spent 6 years as prosecutors for the Kings County District Attorneys Office. We have extensive trial experience helping clients get Not Guilty verdicts from juries.

We represent clients in many different types of cases, including:

• Homicide and assault
• Sex Crimes
• Federal Criminal Defense
• Drug Offenses
• Weapons Possession
• Domestic Violence
• DWI / DUI / DWAI / Drunk Driving
• Burglary
• Theft
• Robbery
• Juvenile Crime
• Military Court Martial
• Appeals
• Post Conviction Relief
• Other Criminal Matters

Our practice is based on providing high quality service and aggressive representation to New Yorkers accused of a crime anywhere in the country. Even if you have lost the first stage of a criminal proceeding, you have a right of appeal to the Appellate Division. After that appeal, you may be granted the right to have your case heard before the Court of Appeals. We may also be able to file a successful motion to the trial court and have your conviction vacated and get a new trial. This motion, known as a “440” motion, may be based on newly discovered evidence as well as other grounds. We will thoroughly investigate your case to find the most effective strategy.

Criminal charges are a serious matter. Simply being innocent is not enough to guarantee you won’t be convicted. It is important to have an  intelligent and experienced criminal defense attorney  on your side to protect your rights. Don’t gamble with your freedom.

The sooner you act to protect yourself, the more likely it is that your legal troubles can be handled quickly and you can get back to your life. We have had success in helping our clients avoid the expense and burden of a full trial by getting the charges against them dismissed at the Grand Jury level. Your rights may depend on your quick action.
