Zachary Reibstein grew up around the field of criminal justice. The son of a respected NYC homicide prosecutor, he began his career as a paralegal before obtaining his J.D. in San Diego, California. Upon graduating in the top 10% of his law school class he returned to New York and became an Assistant District Attorney in Queens County.. As a prosecutor in America’s largest city, Zachary handled thousands of cases ranging from minor misdemeanors to serious violent felonies. In addition to extensive trial-work he worked closely with NYPD detectives investigating major cases: responding to crime scenes, drafting search warrants, supervising line-ups, and obtaining suspect confessions. His caseload included countless assaults, robberies, and burglaries as well as drug, economic and sex crimes.. Zachary initially entered private practice in 2009 after spending three years as a prosecutor. Specializing in criminal defense and civil litigation, he achieved numerous dismissals and trial victories for clients facing criminal charges, acted as special counsel to NYPD officers accused of misconduct, and recovered over a million dollars for clients injured due to negligence. In one representative case a jury found his client not guilty of feloniously possessing an unregistered handgun despite it being found in a car owned solely by the client while the client was alone inside it.. After six years in private practice Zachary joined the Special Operations, Narcotics & Gangs bureau of the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office. As part of an elite bureau tasked with curbing an opioid epidemic he successfully prosecuted violent crimes and narcotics conspiracies including “Operation Bundle-Up”: a multi-jurisdictional investigation resulting in over 40 arrests and convictions – the largest drug network takedown in Long Island history.. Seeking a higher quality of life for his family, Zachary relocated to Colorado in early 2018; quickly gaining experience as a prosecutor in Denver and Broomfield counties, as well as with defense firms handling criminal cases through the state. He opened Reibstein Legal, PLLC in early 2024.. Zachary takes his job as a defense attorney seriously and is laser-focused on holding prosecutors to their burdens of proof. If mistakes were made by law enforcement, he will find them and use them to his client’s advantage. With his twenty plus years of criminal law experience, Zachary's investigation and litigation skills are second-to-none.. If you or a loved one have been charged with an offense, be it a minor violation or complicated felony, Zachary will advise you thoroughly, fight for you aggressively, and provide you with the best representation possible..
