Highly Recommend!

I'm a lawyer myself and had heard of Jeremy Saland from a knowledgeable friend in the criminal legal community who described Jeremy as a tenacious advocate with a reputation for getting good results. He definitely lived up to that reputation. I retained Jeremy after my son was charged with felony d...rug possession based solely on his presence in a car with others and in which there was a backpack, not belonging to my son, which contained a controlled substance. Because of the "automobile presumption," every one of the occupants was charged with felony drug possession. All the other occupants pleaded to a misdemeanor charge for drug possession with the opportunity to later withdraw their pleas to a disorderly conduct, because that was presented as the best offer on the table. Jeremy, however, ultimately convinced the prosecutor to reduce my son’s charge to an ACD, resulting in dismissal of all charges and the records being sealed. He is a truly skilled and effective advocate for his clients. And throughout the entire process, he was in constant communication with me about the case and always providing the latest updates, which I truly appreciated since it is a nerve-wracking experience. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of criminal representation. He's top-notch and a fighter for his clients.

greates lawyer in westchester

Jeremy treated me like a real person, and was more than a lawyer. he was a human being, he was honest and fair. he did the best job that any client could ask for, he was professional, considerate, and kept me in good spirit with everything going on. I can't say enough for the job Jeremy did on my c...ase. I could never thank him enough, I would refer him to anyone that needs a good lawyer.

Case of Unlawful Possession of Marijuana and criminal use of drug paraphernalia

I hired Jeremy for my son. My son was charged with Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (PL 221.05) and 2 counts of criminal use of drug paraphernalia (PL 220.5 subdivision 2 & 3). Being a non-immigrant and in the midst of the application for permanent residency, this whole issue was nerve racking for th...e whole family. I hired Jeremy after reading the reviews and I would like to state that all the positive comments that were written about him in the reviews are absolutely true. He was understanding and was kind to meet us even on a Sunday morning. He was patient, listened to our concerns and answered all my questions. My 1st impression about him was that of a knowledgeable person who could clearly explain to me about the details of the court procedures and possible outcomes. Needless to say that he was prompt in updating me on the development of the case. What impress me most is his ability to negotiate with the ADA and his professional knowledge on presenting the case in court. Due to his brilliance, we were able to obtain ACD and that too in a shorter term than expected. I went to court expecting ACD for a period of 1 year and Jeremy managed to get it down to 4 months. I was more than satisfied with the outcome and could not thank him enough for the best result that he managed to secure for my son. I will definitely recommend Jeremy to anyone who needs representation on criminal matters.

Great Lawyer!

Jeremy Saland was great! He was able to help me out of legal trouble quick. He was able to turn my felony assault charge on a police officer to an ACD. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a good lawyer.

Top notch, second to none!

December 17, 2013 changed how I look at life forever. I was all excited to fly back to Saint Louis to visit my family and freinds for 3 weeks. Little did I know that when I checked into Delta Airlies at LGA I would be charged with 2 Violent Felonies facing 2 years in State Prison. Charged with unlawf...ul possesion of a firearm and high capacity clips, a Class C and Class D Felony. On The prior Sunday I called Delta Airlines and explained that I was from Missouri and wanted to bring my firearm back to Missouri. I asked what the procedure was and would I get in any trouble? The Delta Rep said "No Problem, just place it in a hard case locked, keep the key with you, and declare it when you get to the airline". I did as she suggested, arrested on spot by Port Authority and later taken to Queens Central Booking. Spent around 14 hours total between both jails, Queens Jail is a place that you never want to visit. My mind was racing there, had no idea what was going on and where I was going next. My father and I spoke earlier that day and he did some research online from Missouri and found Crotty and Saland. Jeff Davis came to the jail and got me in front of the Judge that night and released on R and R. Jeff even took me to find a taxi and made sure I was getting home safely. A couple days late I met Liz Crotty at the Manhattan office, she was very helpful but said "Matt, you are facing very Serious Charges". I was scared to death to say the least. But Jeremy was great, kept me calm the entire time reassuring me everything was going to be okay. He was right, not only did Jeremy get the felony charges reduced, I have no Criminal Record. I was offered a small fine and a Non-Criminal Violation. If you are faced with any Weapons charge Crotty and Saland is the Firm you want in your corner. They fight and dont let up.

"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."
