Demand Excellent Criminal Defense From a Former Manhattan Prosecutor Without Being Overcharged!
No one ever wants to be put in a position of searching for a criminal defense attorney. It can be emotionally, and oftentimes, financially stressful. At the Criminal Defense Office of Ricky Shah, we are here to make this process as stress-free as possible for you. Many people searching for criminal defense attorneys sometimes make the mistake of hiring the first attorney they get on the phone with, or the attorney with the fanciest website. Or even the attorney who has the highest retainer, under the misguided belief that because they charge the most, they must be the best. I’m here to tell you that is that is not true, and that you do not need to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to get an excellent legal defense.
What separates us?
What separates us from many other law firms is that our firm is fully remote, and we use the most modern, AI integrated, legal software on the market. That helps keep our overhead costs down, which more importantly, helps keep your retainer costs down!
We offer one of the more affordable legal defenses you will find in New York City, Long Island, or Westchester, with even greater individualized representation you can expect from anywhere else. Because we’re fully virtual, we don’t pass on costs to our clients such as rent, office utilities, supplies, etc, like other firms do. We’re strictly business, and we can assure you, that you are only paying for your legal defense, and your legal defense only.
Our conferences will be conducted through Zoom Workspace, and all documents will be exchanged through military-grade secure file-sharing networks on our state of the art legal platforms. And of course, when you have a court appearance, we will be there in-person, right beside you.
We take pride in attorney-client transparency, and it is one of our founding principles. Our primary goal is to make this process as simple and painless for you as possible. We’re always available to answer your questions, and unlike any other criminal defense attorney, we’ll independently provide you monthly case updates without you even having to ask. If there’s no update, we’ll just say so. But at the end of the day, you have the right to know what is happening on your case!
Why choose us?
The reality is, criminal justice laws in New York have changed dramatically in the last few years, and too many defense attorneys out there today have no idea how to navigate them differently than how they’ve been doing so for the last 20+ years. I’m talking primarily about discovery reform, which is a major criminal justice initiative that many people are unaware of, yet is the most impactful criminal justice upheaval in recent memory.
As of 2020, there is a significant legislatively required burden the prosecution must undertake in terms of they must turn over to the defense, and if not done properly, your case may get dismissed outright - no plea required. Make no mistake - these legal differences are crucial in the New York State criminal justice system. Our expertise in understanding the nuances of these new discovery requirements is what sets us apart, and is the main reason why you should choose us to represent you for the pendency of your case.
As a former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney who began my career just before these discovery laws took place, these new legal requirements are all I know. And being on both sides of the aisle, I know how to use them to my client’s advantage better than most other criminal defense attorneys. I will hold prosecutors accountable to their legally required mandates, and pursue action if not followed through on. By choosing us, not only are you getting modern criminal defense representation, but you’re getting it at a better rate than anywhere else, while also receiving unmatched client service.
