The criminal attorneys of the Edelstein Firm are experienced defense lawyers who gained their experience in the courts as either former prosecutors or public defenders. This background gives us unique insight into how the government builds its cases and what strategies are most effective in protecting our clients’ rights and freedom.
We are a criminal defense law firm—our practice is exclusively limited to criminal defense and related matters. This singular focus allows us to stay current with the constantly evolving landscape of criminal law, from changes in statutory requirements to shifts in prosecutorial tactics and judicial interpretations. We don’t sue people, we don’t help you declare bankruptcy, and we won’t represent you in a divorce. By concentrating solely on criminal defense, we’ve developed a depth of knowledge and a network of resources specifically tailored to defending individuals facing criminal charges.
What we will do is defend you to the best of our ability, using our years of experience in your defense. We understand that being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. The criminal justice system can be overwhelming, confusing, and intimidating, especially when your freedom, your reputation, and your future are at stake. Our commitment is to guide you through every step of the process, explaining your options clearly and fighting vigorously to protect your rights.
While every case is unique, the experience we have gained over the years informs the approach we take to your case. We’ve handled thousands of cases ranging from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies, and this experience has taught us that successful defense requires more than just legal knowledge—it demands strategic thinking, meticulous preparation, and the ability to adapt to the specific circumstances of each case. We’ve seen how small details can make the difference between conviction and acquittal, and we know how to identify and leverage those details in your favor.
Whether you need an attorney to represent you in a federal criminal investigation or someone to defend you in a misdemeanor case, we have the necessary experience and knowledge to properly defend you. Federal cases require an understanding of complex federal statutes, sentencing guidelines, and procedures that differ significantly from state court proceedings. Our attorneys have extensive experience navigating the federal system, from initial investigations and detention hearings through trial and sentencing. Similarly, our knowledge of state criminal procedures ensures that clients facing charges in state court receive equally skilled and dedicated representation.
Our approach to criminal defense is comprehensive and client-centered. From the moment you retain our services, we begin working on your case. This includes conducting our own investigation, interviewing witnesses, reviewing discovery materials, researching relevant case law, and consulting with experts when necessary. We believe that thorough preparation is essential to achieving the best possible outcome, whether that means negotiating a favorable plea agreement, securing a dismissal of charges, or taking your case to trial.
