Ancona Law Criminal Defense

New York, New Jersey and Florida federal and state criminal defense lawyers

An experienced attorney that can help with federal and state investigations, charges, indictments & crimes 

As those who have been through it can tell you, being the focus of a federal or state criminal investigation, or facing federal or state criminal charges, is a terrifying experience.

Due to the unlimited resources of the government, the enhanced training and experience of  investigators and prosecutors, the complexity of proceedings and the large number of individuals typically targeting for prosecution in the same case, criminal court is no place for the inexperienced practitioner.

To defend against federal and state charges in NY, NJ or FL you will need an experienced 
criminal defense lawyer with the personality, knowledge and resources required to stand up to the government.

For almost two decades, our firm has successfully represented individuals and businesses who have found themselves in the cross-hairs of the government.

We have worked to avoid criminal charges from being brought against our clients identified by the government as subjects of criminal investigations and to negotiate favorable dispositions on behalf of those charged where doing so makes most sense.

Our reputation with federal and state prosecutors in New York has enabled us to work impressive results on behalf of clients. By preparing creative and convincing legal arguments prior to trial, I have been successful in having  charges dismissed against my clients, and in winning pretrial suppression hearings resulting in evidence being precluded from introduction at trial.

We have represented clients in cases involving complex crimes, organized crime and rico allegations, and in large-scale narcotics prosecutions as well as smaller local and state criminal offenses.

Corporate Clients Should Ask Specific Questions About Law Firm Computer Security, Experts Say
We live in a world in which computer attacks via the Internet are routine, and many law firms are both particularly inviting targets and especially vulnerable. So determining whether outside counsel has sufficient computer safeguards is a question business clients should routinely ask, according to Corporate Counsel. One expert says 80 major law firms were hacked last year, Bloomberg reports. And in a recent Forbes column, another expert tells a chilling tale of two partners from an unidentified law firm who visit him for advice after discovering that all of their client files have been obtained by China-based hackers.
