Helping Clients Fight Serious State and Federal Charges
At Russo and Pedranghelu, our Nassau County criminal defense attorneys use their many years of experience, knowledge of the local legal environment and commitment to clients' rights to develop aggressive defenses against state and federal criminal charges. Now in its fourth decade, our firm is known for its dedicated and skilled attorneys. This is reflected by the leadership positions we hold in local professional and community associations.
Clients charged with criminal offenses can be confident that our experienced trial attorneys will work vigorously to defend them, whatever the charges may be. They can be assured that our defense strategies will be tailored to the individual circumstances of their cases. Our attorneys have high level of involvement with the New York judicial system; our lawyers include a retired judge, a former assistant district attorney, an active member of the Nassau County Bar Association's Judiciary Committee, and a former New York state Commissioner of Jurors.
Our Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Practice
Our firm defends clients against misdemeanor and felony criminal charges at the state and federal levels. The following are some of the major types of cases we handle:
- Domestic violence
- Drug crimes
- DWI/drunk driving
- White collar crimes
- Traffic violations
- Sex crimes
- Assault and battery
- Burglary, theft and robbery
- Vehicular homicide
Defending a client against any of these charges can be a complex process. The existence of collateral issues can affect the case and its outcome. For example, a drug possession charge may be the result of substance abuse rather than criminal behavior. A domestic violence charge may be a byproduct of a hotly contested child custody matter. A DWI charge may be based on an inaccurate blood alcohol content test and require an analysis of the technology used to determine intoxication. Our attorneys have the experience and resources to handle not only your immediate legal concerns but also any ancillary issues that may arise.
