Potential Life Altering Experience Addressed Professionally By Experienced and Proven Counselor - Mr. Saland

Through my carelessness on an adult website, I became the target of blackmail with dark web criminals threating to ruin my professional and personal lives if I did not comply with their financial demands. Initially, out of fear, I complied with some of the criminal’s financial demands until I was int...roduced to Jeremy Saland, Esq., and his team of professionals. After explaining my situation to Mr. Saland, he decided to represent me. Immediately after our agreement, he and his team focused their efforts on gaining copies of the numerous demanding texts I received, engaging online with the criminals and eventually, through skillful ways, stopping the criminals from harassing and extorting me. Mr. Saland and colleagues provided me a thorough education into the manipulation I, and many others like me, experience during these stressful situations. He provided empathy and understanding to me throughout the entire process and, from my personal experience, Mr. Saland and his team were laser focused on representing me, without judgement, and bringing swift resolution to this type of unsettling experience. Without a doubt, I believe Mr. Saland and his team saved my personal and professional lives. Therefore, if you are searching for an experienced, fierce and highly respected counselor of law to address your indiscretions that could be causing your personal and professional distress, please call him immediately. There is a reason why his colleagues, media organizations, community leaders and others rely on his expert opinions and insights – he is a proven and loyal advocate for his clients.

The greatest live saver!

I made a mistake while driving my car in an effort to avoid a ticket for speeding. Crashing my car because I was driving too fast, the police arrested me and when I saw the judge I was charged with a felony. Though I was so grateful nobody was hurt, I was petrified because not only had I never been i...n trouble but I was facing a felony. Jeremy Saland not only convinced the district attorney handling my case not to go to the grand jury, but he got the ADA to lower my case from a felony, to a misdemeanor and ultimately to dismiss the case with an ACD. Bottom line is that Jeremy went all out for me and pushed back until he got me the dismissal even when the ADA first wasn’t interested in even considering that type of resolution. Jeremy gets an A+ for fighting for me when I was most down and never letting me get counted out.

Excellent service

He was very competent and gave us excellent instructions and service. He was very confident and gave us reassurance that he would help my son. I was very happy that I hired him.

A Brilliant Attorney and a Wonderful Person

When a member of your family is accused of a false allegation and is facing sanctions that can effect the rest of their lives, retaining the best counsel for the job is critical. We did our due diligence and hired the best legal counsel for our issue. Jeremy Saland is that lawyer. Jeremy is a fierce ...and brilliant litigator who understands the system. Our issue was a Title IX case, which requires a very specific set of skills. Jeremy immediately jumped into action and quickly began to unravel a complex situation with multiple witnesses and hundreds of pages of statements. Jeremy put together a strong defense and strategy to unwind false statements, lies and fabricated situations. During the hearing, Jeremy picked apart every nuance of the false allegations and in cross examination, exposed the lies and unfounded claims. When the decision came back from the Title IX panel, Jeremy's incredible work won the case. Just as important as having brilliant legal counsel, is to have a person who is understanding and communicative. Jeremy is always available and kept us up to date on every aspect of the case. He made our whole family feel protected and in the best hands possible. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Jeremy Saland. There are times in a person's life where a single event could have a dramatic impact on your future. Jeremy Saland is the person you want by your side fighting for you when need it the most. We cannot thank Jeremy enough for being there for us and helping to turn a horrible situation into a tremendous win.

Incredibly Grateful for Jeremy Saland

I am incredibly grateful for Jeremy Saland and his efforts to resolve my arrest for criminal contempt and a family court order of protection, along with a violation of the restraining order, without any finding of wrongdoing in both courts. Without going into detail, my ex and I had broken up and bot...h of us behaved immaturely and irresponsibly in our communications. After being served by the sheriff in Manhattan with a petition and order of protection, I immediately called my ex without reading exactly what I received. When I started to review it, I hung up immediately, but the damage was done. My ex then went to the police and filed a report against me for contempt and she and her attorney also went back to family court to file against me for violating the order because I made “contact”. After speaking to some attorneys, I hired Jeremy. Immediately after hiring him, Jeremy got to work building our defense, of which some was rightfully offense. We filed our own article 8 petition against her for her conduct and challenged the contempt charge. After months of back and forth, despite the claims and three different cases in two courts, the prosecutor offered me a plea to a civil infraction (no criminal record) to take care of the entire criminal case. My case closed without a criminal record. In family court, both my ex and I agreed to mutual orders of protection for one year without any admissions or findings. This resolved both of my two outstanding cases. Jeremy was strategic and calculated. When the other attorney tried to claim I was prevented from fighting my cases in family court because of the deal I received in criminal court, Jeremy responded with a motion to beat that falsehood back. As much as neither I nor my ex likely wanted to find ourselves in this spot, and I am hopeful we can both move forward in healthy way wherever our lives may go, but for Jeremy I would potentially have a criminal record and a decision by a judge in family court. This result would not be fair nor accurately describe what occurred, but sometimes that happens when you do not have good counsel. For me, and anyone else in a similar situation in either family or criminal court, Jeremy is that person you need at your side and who has your back.

"There are few criminal lawyers in New York City who are as skilled, aggressive, and compassionate as Jeremy Saland. I regularly refer him clients in New York City and Westchester and I am always pleased with the outcomes. He fights aggressively for his clients, even if it ruffles the feathers of the District Attorney's office. And as a former DA himself, Jeremy seems like he has their playbook in hand. He is always a step ahead of his adversary."

"I have known Jeremy since our days as fellow prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, where Jeremy was highly respected for his courtroom skills and knowledge of the criminal law. Since bringing those skills and knowledge to private practice, he has obtained outstanding results for his clients. In fact, when one of my civil litigation clients was arrested, and I was prevented from representing him due to a conflict of interests, I referred the case to Jeremy. Jeremy did a fantastic job and got all of the charges against my client case dismissed. Needless to say, my client and I were both very pleased and impressed with Jeremy's abilities, work ethic, and integrity throughout the entire process. Should a similar situation arise in the future, I would not hesitate to refer my client to Jeremy."
