We fight to get you the maximum compensation you deserve for your injuries. Our expertise covers Car Accidents, Construction Accidents, Slip and Fall incidents, and other serious personal injury claims. 💰
- Criminal Defense Lawyers: As former prosecutors, we have a unique and powerful insight into how the other side thinks. We know their playbook, and we use that knowledge to build a formidable defense. We handle the full spectrum of state and federal crimes, from DUI/DWI Defense and Drug Crimes to the most serious Violent Crimes, including Homicide.
- Civil Rights Violations: We are passionate about holding law enforcement accountable for misconduct. We represent victims of police brutality, false arrest, and malicious prosecution, fighting to protect your constitutional rights.
The Former Prosecutor Advantage 🏆
Our founding partners, Bruce Jacobs and David Hazan, both began their careers as prosecutors in the Bronx District Attorney’s Office. This experience is invaluable. It taught them how police investigate cases, how prosecutors build them, and most importantly, how to find the weaknesses to tear them down. This insider’s perspective gives our clients a strategic edge that few other firms can offer. Their commitment to excellence has earned them significant recognition, including an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell® for Mr. Jacobs, the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards.
