One of New York's Finest

Jeremy Saland is one of the hardest working lawyers I have seen. He has a heart of gold and is extremely talented at what he does. The work his legal team is capable of doing for the everyday Joe is phenomenal. I personally was desperate for a good lawyer this year after being accused of multiple Tit...le IX violations. Even after, Jeremy helped me overcome inquiries by the NYPD that ultimately never evolved into an arrest. Frightened and alone, I could not address this issue with my family for a number of reasons. Jeremy found a way to not only calm me as his client, but he prepared me, as well as himself, for what I faced. In regularly meeting and speaking with Jeremy, a few things stood out. First, Jeremy is not your typical lawyer. He truly cares about you and the outcome of your case. Not only is his work geared towards making the client happy, but more importantly he strives to do right by you. Second, he was very flexible with billing, cared about justice, and fought to give me a second chance. I know Jeremy fairly well now, and he is a down to earth guy who is very talented and exceptional as a thinker, lawyer and an all-around good person. I would recommend Jeremy over any other lawyer bar none because he gives it to you straight, has a box of tissues for you, and cuts through the crap to protect your life and future. For me, Jeremy clearly shared my goal of seeing me succeed in life. He no doubt made sure of that and kept my academic record clean from any suspension, revocation, etc. Above all Jeremy is devoted to giving his time, resources and support so you succeed not only in your career but as a human being.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney

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.

Easily the best attorney.

Hey. Did you do something dumb? Do you have absolutely zero information about the legal process? Do you want an attorney that seemingly does this for sport and probably won’t sleep until your life is back? Well then I highly recommend the attorney equivalent of an alligator wrestler: Jeremy Saland. T...hat’s what I did! I was facing a class B felony and potentially tens of thousands in fines and some legit jail time and after hiring Jeremy Saland he obviously struck enough fear into the prosecutors with his sheer litigation might that it was knocked down to a petty misdemeanor and after a few sheckles and a handful of counseling sessions, I will no longer have a criminal record. The offices of Crotty Saland are the Shaq and Kobe of criminal defense in New York City and to even consider another firm is outright blasphemy. I stand by this statement 100%

Superb Attorney 'especially' for Wrongly Accused Professionals

With great enthusiasm, I wish to inform other first time wrongly accused professionals the exceptional legal service Jeremy Saland provided. Firstly, "In-depth Knowledge and Focused Expertise" Jeremy Saland showcased in 'his law firm website blogs' were extremely helpful and relevant information ...available there were paramount source for an "inexperienced" first time wrongly accused professional who needed to be armed oneself with such crucial information . Secondly, "Note-worthy Charisma and Caring Compassion" Jeremy Saland exuded 'during the consultation meeting' were second to none that it's very clear that a "timid" first time wrongly accused professional needed to be represented by such high caliber. Finally, "You have to hire an attorney asap who will fight for you! and I will do my very best; I give you my word!" Jeremy Saland promised 'during the hiring contracts' were deeply thoughtful that it's incredible ammunition for a "scared" first time wrongly accused professional needed to be assured by such sincere integrity. Yes, it's very, very difficult to overcome the apprehension for unknown; but, Jeremy Saland did "Deliver the Dismissal" and utmost gratefulness is beyond expression..

Jeremy Saland is the best decision I made

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.

"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."
