I believe what differentiates me from other attorneys is the individual attention and compassion I show to my clients.   I take a special pride in being the lone voice for individuals facing the powerful machinations of the criminal justice system or the IRS.  There is nothing more satisfying than a former client contacting me, months or years after their case is concluded, to tell me of the better times they now find themselves in.. I have fulltime offices in both Manhattan and Long Island, and I handle criminal cases throughout the metropolitan area, and in all military jurisdcitions..
