Jeremy M. Saland

I was arrested after being accused of grinding someone on the subway. Not only have I never been arrested before and did not “grind” anyone, but I had to deal with the humiliation of my arrest and the fear it would jeopardize my job. As miserable as this experience was from arrest to the anxiety of c...ourt and my job, Jeremy and the Crotty Saland law firm got my case dismissed completely. The result is most important but Jeremy and Liz had the right strategy and explained the process to me before and as it unfolded in court. My job is safe because they did their job right.

I was contacted by a detective out of nowhere and informed that a woman complained I was stalking her, and I was asked to surrender to be arrested. I felt the police rushed to judgment and did a very poor job investigating, so I immediately contacted Mr. Saland. I explained that I was accused of some...thing I did not do and that I had no idea who the person making these allegations was. Mr. Saland understood the situation and assured me as best he could that the matter will be resolved. He followed thru with the detective, and later the DA' s office, seeking the immediate dismissal of the case. The prosecutor did not opt to dismiss the case and instead made an offer of an ACD, which in six months would be a dismissal, and an order of protection. I was totally innocent of these charges and Mr. Saland believed me. He understood that I am a professional in the Finance industry and that a matter of this nature would have serious implications on my record and my career. I refused to accept any offers from the DA's office other than a complete dismissal and when the prosecution persisted he took the case to trial. In fact, on the trial date the judge told us we might have to wait another month or two to start, but Mr. Saland was able to push respectfully to commence that day. I cannot describe Mr. Saland’s competency and effectiveness during the trial. His extensive experience as a prior prosecutor was evident in how he proved my innocence and got me acquitted of all charges. Mr. Saland was tenacious, strategic, and efficient in legally protecting me from false accusations. His confidence and expertise was superior in the courtroom. His attention to detail and unmatched ability to articulate the facts with reason and logic made it easy for the judge to see that I was innocent. Jeremy Saland is brilliant, friendly and has excellent work ethic. He kept me comfortable throughout the stages of this case and didn’t hesitate to “set me straight” when necessary. I am very grateful for his service and for the great job he did getting justice to be served.

A friend referred me to Jeremy after the NYPD arrested me for Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree. When I first met Jeremy he put me at ease and explained the process. Jeremy also exuded a welcomed and calm confidence that helped me through the case. Having no experience in the courts, Jeremy ma...de sure to communicate with me and explain things as they happened in real time. Unfortunately, we could not convince the DA to drop the charges stemming from my spouse’s affair’s accusations that I broke a window at her home but Jeremy gave me the courage to fight. He made it clear there were no guarantees but I refused the DA’s offer of an unnecessary restraining order and lesser plea. After making different motions to dismiss, Jeremy took my case to trial where he cross examined my soon-to-be former spouse and his affair before I finally got a chance to be heard. After everything finished, the judge dismissed the charges and closed my case. I can say that Jeremy, as he often says, is an advocate. I could tell he cared about the case and the outcome. No doubt there were times when I was frightened and uncertain but I knew he would see the case through. Even though I did nothing wrong and faced a prosecution, I can hold my head up high thanks to Crotty Saland PC and Jeremy’s hard work. Sincerely, Sarah

Jeremy answered his phone at 3am to help secure my son's release without bail, within hours. He went straight to the people that mattered and kept my son informed in the cells, giving him hope when no one was communicating with us. He was helpful to the extreme; very kind; very calming for my son; ve...ry confident he would be released. The fact he answered the phone, in bed, at 3am, when he was asleep was stunning - especially as no other lawyer did. They all rang back about lunchtime!!! I always felt informed; well advised and that someone was working in my son's best interest. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor, and found myself in a complicated situation that could have resulted in undesirable consequences, and an adverse impact on my record, something I cannot afford being a Finance professional. Jeremy Saland got my case dismissed. A superb criminal attorn...ey with great expertise in dealing with the prosecution. Jeremy understood the sensitivity of my situation and the importance of keeping my record clean, and when this case was causing me stress, Jeremy's confidence, expertise, and continuous dialogue afforded me the assurance and comfort I needed to believe that everything will be fine. Effectively he delivered total dismissal of my case and I cannot explain how thankful I am to him. What makes Jeremy stand out amongst other lawyers is his expertise. He is sharp, confident, efficient and diligent, at the same time he is nice and caring. Not to mention he s a very well respected former prosecutor in the Manhattan DA's Office Trial Division and Identity Theft Unit. Everything you could ask for in a lawyer. If you want the best outcome to your case, pray that Jeremy agrees to take it.
