Federal and State Criminal Defense

Representation in Federal and State Criminal Matters

Our firm provides aggressive and pro-active representation for clients facing federal or state criminal charges. We handle all serious criminal allegations and specialize in white collar crimes and other sophisticated business crimes, including art fraud and other art-related charges.

In addition to serving clients who have been arrested, we have a wide range of experience representing clients who are under investigation by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, IRS, U.S. Attorney's Office, New York City Department of Investigation, NYPD and other federal and state agencies. We take a unique approach to criminal investigations that has yielded powerful results. Unlike some lawyers who have a “wait-and-see” philosophy, we take an aggressive, pro-active stance that has helped many clients avoid criminal charges altogether.

 Former Assistant District Attorney

The founder of our firm, Georges G. Lederman, is a former prosecutor who worked at the New York County District Attorney's Office for nearly a decade. During that time, Mr. Lederman handled complex criminal matters while working in the Frauds, Narcotics and Trial divisions.

As a former prosecutor, Mr. Lederman understands how his adversaries think and the elements that they must prove to sustain a successful prosecution. He uses his prosecutorial experience and grasp of the law in this area to provide a vigorous defense on behalf of each client he serves.

Complex Criminal Charges

Our firm focuses on the representation of clients facing complex federal and state charges, including business fraud, tax fraud, art fraud, embezzlement, bank structuring transactions and other complex criminal matters. Our clients have included multinational corporations, business executives, art galleries, art dealers, government officials and attorneys.
