Our Toughest Long Island Attorneys That Get Results

After a long fought battle, in the matter of the People of the State of New York v. EPB, the jury delivered a just verdict today finding EPB not guilty of attempted murder, and all charges in the indictment. Brad Leventhal from our office did a stellar job. We are proud of him and his tireless effort for justice.

In the People of the State of New York v XT, a Bronx judge found XT not guilty of all charges. XT was being framed by an ex-girlfriend for crimes he did not commit. Through great investigative work we were able to uncover the complainant’s calculated path of lies and deceit. Fortunately the train to a wrongful conviction stopped with our team. Great job Brad Leventhal!

In the matter of United States of America v EW, our firm’s managing partner, Michael Alber, obtained a substantially reduced sentence that fell significantly below the calculated sentence under the United States Sentencing Guidelines.  In this case, our firm represented the controller of a company, who was accused of embezzling funds over at least a five year period.  After an extensive forensic accounting, it was alleged that our client embezzled funds in excess of 3.9 million dollars, and faced in excess of five years.  Making the sentencing even more challenging was the allegation that the loss amount was significantly above 3.9 million and may have been over a span of ten years.  After extensive oral argument and sentencing memorandums, which highlighted significant mitigation and statistics regarding recidivism, as well as the evidence in the case, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sentenced EW to 6 months in jail.  We were pleased that justice was tempered with mercy in this case.  We also want to recognize the chair of our criminal defense division, Jason Russo, Esq. for his exemplary legal work in assisting the preparation for sentencing in this case.

Prosecutors showed great discretion in ultimately dismissing an indictment riddled with legal issues and insufficient evidence. The pursuit of justice involves assessing the weight of the evidence, and prosecutors should be commended for taking their oath seriously.

In the eastern district of new york in a case involving claims against our clients for false arrest, malicious prosecution, evidence fabrication, and abuse of process pursuant to both § 1983 and new york state law, corporation adc and person gl won summary judgment. Michael alber and co counsel joseph ferrante worked extremely hard in getting all claims dismissed. Both mr. Alber and mr. Ferrante took over the case as trial counsel. The case had pressing deadlines with our clients facing significant ramifications. After only being on the case for a few days, we swiftly moved through depositions, additional discovery, pre-trial preparation and convinced the judge to set a new schedule for summary judgment motions despite previous failures in the case. Our clients were previously informed they would have no chance at summary judgment. After diligent research and meticulous preparation our motion for summary judgment was granted in its entirety. Only thorough preparation and attention to detail can pave the path for a successful resolution.

After almost 16 months of litigation, a Brooklyn man had felony charges dismissed.
