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.

Really Great

When faced with a charge of possession of a controlled substance, I was nervous concerning my job and more importantly my immigration status. Jeremy and Liz worked hard to work with the DA prior to my court date, insuring an early dismissal. They were very helpful, and my immigration status was not ...affected. Not only that, but Jeremy was always happy to take my phone calls, regardless of what time it was. If he was busy or on the phone, he would call as soon as he was done and always made time for me. He sympathized with me and was a pleasure to work with.

Jeremy Saland

I am writing this you review on behalf of myself and my family. I hired Jeremy about year ago when I was arrested for drug possession. I was referred to Jeremy from a good friend of mine but when you hire a lawyer you really not sure what you are getting, so I experienced the most dedicated, hardwork...ing and most important caring person I have ever met. Jeremy got my drug possession charge dropped and also got My warrant from a previous arrest taken care of together and both were dismissed. I think why makes Jeremy stand out is his personal interest in me getting better. I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. While my case was going on I was in an inpatient rehab for 5 months and the one thing Jeremy told me was not to focus on this case; he would take care of it. (I trusted him) He encouraged me to get better and focus on myself. He genually cared about me. While I was in rehab he called my mother to see how I was doing often. He was in touch with my rehab counselor to check in on me and facilitated any paper that I would need. He made things easier on my family. Jeremy is not only my lawyer but he became a friend.

My Defense Team Kept me Out of Jail!!!

I was charged with a B Felony for criminal possession of a controlled substance. I was looking at a Minimum of 1 year jail time. My criminal defense team (Jeremy Saland & Elizabeth Crotty) argued that the stop and search by the police officers that night was unlawful and convinced the prosecutor to o...ffer a class A misdemeanor instead. I took that deal which resulted in No jail time, No probation, No community service. I paid a small fine and lost my driver's license for 6 months. I am so grateful to my defense team for their dedication to my case. They are very knowledgeable and responsive. Thank you!!!!

Successful

A traffic stop in nyc lead to my arrest because of a suspended lisc. After being arrested in booked I was search and caught with stuff. That prompted them to search my car, where they found my gun. The laws in NYC are very different compared to the south. Though my gun was legally registered in the s...tate I lived in, I was in for serious charges. The very small amount of stuff didn't help. I'll be honest I was terrified of what kind of position this situation could have had on my job and life. I contacted Jeremy, explained. He got in touch with the D.A, Setup a meeting. I spoke with the D.A, Jeremy negotiated a deal. My case is over and I have no record. I put my whole story out because I know the feeling of being in trouble and worried. Jeremy made me feel comfortable, he knew exactly what he was doing. He worked out a payment plan and all. I'm thankful I chose his firm.

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
