Jeremy Saland

I am a recent college graduate going to medical school who was arrested and accused of a committing B felony drug sale in New York in 2010. Before hiring Crotty Saland LLP, I had retained another firm. However, I sought a new attorney and consulted with many. After consulting with the other attorney...s about my case, it was clearly evident that Jeremy Saland (along with Liz Crotty) was the best defense attorney for me. Ultimately they decided to put me in the Grand Jury and after prepping me, the case was finally dismissed by the Grand Jury. Jeremy Saland defended and consulted me with an upstanding level of expertise, trust, and commitment. He always put me in the best position and his scrupulous efforts in my case led me to my freedom. But for him, I could still be facing a felony and prison

Misdemeanor Assault, Harassment and Resisting Arrest

Jeremy was referred to me by a friend after I had spent $1,500 at my arraignment with a different attorney. Switching attorneys was by far the best decision I could have made. Right from the beginning, Jeremy explained the circumstances and the different scenarios of my case. I was charged with mi...sdemeanor assault, harassment and resisting arrest. While the process took over six months, all charges were dismissed this morning at court, thanks entirely to his legal work. Throughout the ordeal, Jeremy was available at all times to ultimately handhold me considering this was my first brush with the law. While I am sure it is not in an attorney's job description to double as a therapist and friend, he absolutely kept me calm, relaxed and insisted I be patient. I, in no way, was an ideal client as I had a tendency to research the internet and be in a constant state of anxiety. Thanks to him, I can now move on and continue my life with a clean and impeccable record. I can not say enough about the job he has done and would recommend him to anyone who asked.

Recent Client Review

I retained Jeremy Saland after I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. Although I reached out to multiple attorneys, Jeremy was was responsive, confident and supportive. More importantly, Jeremy knew the law and walked me through the entire process. During the course of my case I became increa...singly nervous because I work and finance and I am working on obtaining my citizenship. To make matter's worse, the DA's Office was not making the offer we wanted. Jeremy even dug up paperwork that contradicted what the prosecutor said, but she still refused to make the offer we wanted. Ultimately, we took the case to trial and we went before a judge for that purpose. Jeremy told me to stay calm even though we were about to begin the trial. Before the trial started, Jeremy went back to the prosecutor. I don't know how he did it, but at that point the DA's Office gave in and we got more than I hoped for. Instead of risking the misdemeanor or taking their original offer, I pleaded to violation and paid a $150 fine. Upon paying the fine, which I did minutes later, I came back to court and the DA's Office and the judge agreed to let me vacate my plea (withdraw it!). The judge then dismissed the case and sealed it. I really could not be happier. I avoided a criminal record and the case was dismissed. This was better than an ACD! Jeremy went to court with me a half a dozen times and each time told me to stay calm. Even if one approach didn't work he tried something new and NEVER GAVE UP! Jeremy was outstanding and honest as well as responsive and knowledgeable. I recommend him 100%!

Arrested for possession of a forged document

I am a New York city physician. As such, I have often been the recipient of PBA cards and other police related materials as a courtesy directly or indirectly from either other physicians or relatives of police officers. I received a physicians parking placard which I used for several years when on ...call at or around the hospital. One evening I was stopped by police for talking on my cell phone while discussing a hospital related matter. They noticed the placard, confiscated it, and arrested me for possession of a forged instrument. The DA charged me with with a class A misdemeanor. If convicted, I faced almost certain disciplinary action against my medical license. I received Mr. Saland's name from an experienced and prominent NY attorney. After speaking with Mr. Saland, I felt confident that he understood the gravity of my situation, and that he had the skill to get these charges reduced such that my career would not be affected. I had no previous criminal record. To make a long story short, the case is to be dismissed in six months. (The technical Term is ACD). I performed three days of community service. I have no criminal record! I would recommend Mr. Saland to anyone who needs a good criminal attorney.

Arrested checking a gun at La Guardia Airport

I am a Washington state resident and have a permit for my handgun. After traveling with it to New York, following all of the airline and FAA requirements I was arrested and charged with a class C felony. The gun had been unloaded and in a locked hardsided case. The ammunition was in it's original con...tainer. At no time had the gun been loaded and I declared it as checked baggage as soon as I approached the ticket counter. I hired Mr. Saland after interviewing six attorneys. He was extremely knowledgable, very straightforward while being personable and gave me confidence in his ability to handle my case. I was very pleased with how he handled my case. I have never been arrested before, have always abided by the law. Mr Saland was able to convince the District Attorney to reduce the charge to a violation, the case will be sealed and I will not have a record. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of the case and Mr. Saland's expertise in handling it.

"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."
