Excellent & Reliable Lawyer

I was arrested and charged with Grand Larceny. I was filmed on surveillance camera and the police was trying to find me for several days. Before surrounding to the police, I consulted Mr.Saland and hired him immediately, feeling that he would handle the case appropriately and with a positive outcome... for me. He explained very clear and precise the process of such charges and made me very well ware of the negative implications for my pending Naturalization Oath Ceremony, but also analyzed the case in a way that made me feel comfortable that he could solve it without further complications for my future. The moment I hired him , he was already on the phone talking to the police and arranging a time for my surrounding. Although I had to spend the night in prison/ tombs he was able to set me free the next morning without bail. A court date was set for August but he was able to negotiate with the DA and after only three weeks I had to appear before court, pay a restitution fine and was sentenced with an ACD for a period of 6 months. I can highly recommend Mr. Saland and Ms.Crotty , both were very professional and very engaged in my case.

One very happy client.

Mr. Saland was professional from the minute I met him. I explained to him that I was falsely arrested. I felt that he must hear this a million times from clients stating that they were falsely arrested. I was embarrassed regarding the charges. I just wanted to pay the fine and hope it wasn't on my r...ecord. Mr Saland laid out the facts of my case and it would be on my record. He calmed me down and I felt an instant bond of honesty and trust with him. He took the time to explain the process to me and this put me at ease. I appreciated his ease of doing business and his confidentiality. I knew how much it would cost and how much time it would take. I had to appear in court three times. This was explained to me at the first meeting. Mr. Saland stated that if the officers did not have evidence as I said they would not, the charges would be dismissed. On the third court date the Prosecutor dismissed the charges as they could not prove in a reasonable doubt my guilt. The first time I walked in to Mr. Saland's office everything was drawn out and explained. I knew if their was going to be extra cost to my case he would brief me a head of time. Their was no extra cost and no gray areas during this process that was over four months long. I was very excited when the case was dismissed and sealed. I know, God forbid if anything happens again to me or someone I know, I will recommend Mr. Saland. A straight forward lawyer that gives you the facts and delivers.

Great lawyer, wonderful human being

After learning that my son was arrested for shoplifting some groceries, I called Jeremy Saland at the suggestion of my daughter who is a law student in New York. Even though I had unwittingly interrupted Mr. Saland's Hannukah celebration with his family, he patiently explained the legal process ahea...d of us and spent about 40 minutes on the phone with me. My son was devastated by his actions and immediately admitted himself to an eating disorder recovery center (he had suffered with this condition for over five years.) Throughout this ordeal, Mr. Saland clearly guided us, advised us well and listened patiently at all times. He was extremely professional and, at the same time, very sympathetic. He treated me like an intelligent person capable of understanding the intricacies of NY criminal law, yet made an important decision for me realizing that I was also very upset about my son's mental and physical health and the impact of his shoplifting. I highly recommend Mr. Saland and would use him again in a heartbeat (though I hope my family will never need his good services again!) My son has a bright future thanks to his treatment center AND thanks to the legal expertise of Jeremy Saland.

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!!!!

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

"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."
