Jeremy M. Saland

When a member of your family is accused of a false allegation and is facing sanctions that can effect the rest of their lives, retaining the best counsel for the job is critical. We did our due diligence and hired the best legal counsel for our issue. Jeremy Saland is that lawyer. Jeremy is a fierce ...and brilliant litigator who understands the system. Our issue was a Title IX case, which requires a very specific set of skills. Jeremy immediately jumped into action and quickly began to unravel a complex situation with multiple witnesses and hundreds of pages of statements. Jeremy put together a strong defense and strategy to unwind false statements, lies and fabricated situations. During the hearing, Jeremy picked apart every nuance of the false allegations and in cross examination, exposed the lies and unfounded claims. When the decision came back from the Title IX panel, Jeremy's incredible work won the case. Just as important as having brilliant legal counsel, is to have a person who is understanding and communicative. Jeremy is always available and kept us up to date on every aspect of the case. He made our whole family feel protected and in the best hands possible. We can't say enough good things about our experience with Jeremy Saland. There are times in a person's life where a single event could have a dramatic impact on your future. Jeremy Saland is the person you want by your side fighting for you when need it the most. We cannot thank Jeremy enough for being there for us and helping to turn a horrible situation into a tremendous win.

I am incredibly grateful for Jeremy Saland and his efforts to resolve my arrest for criminal contempt and a family court order of protection, along with a violation of the restraining order, without any finding of wrongdoing in both courts. Without going into detail, my ex and I had broken up and bot...h of us behaved immaturely and irresponsibly in our communications. After being served by the sheriff in Manhattan with a petition and order of protection, I immediately called my ex without reading exactly what I received. When I started to review it, I hung up immediately, but the damage was done. My ex then went to the police and filed a report against me for contempt and she and her attorney also went back to family court to file against me for violating the order because I made “contact”. After speaking to some attorneys, I hired Jeremy. Immediately after hiring him, Jeremy got to work building our defense, of which some was rightfully offense. We filed our own article 8 petition against her for her conduct and challenged the contempt charge. After months of back and forth, despite the claims and three different cases in two courts, the prosecutor offered me a plea to a civil infraction (no criminal record) to take care of the entire criminal case. My case closed without a criminal record. In family court, both my ex and I agreed to mutual orders of protection for one year without any admissions or findings. This resolved both of my two outstanding cases. Jeremy was strategic and calculated. When the other attorney tried to claim I was prevented from fighting my cases in family court because of the deal I received in criminal court, Jeremy responded with a motion to beat that falsehood back. As much as neither I nor my ex likely wanted to find ourselves in this spot, and I am hopeful we can both move forward in healthy way wherever our lives may go, but for Jeremy I would potentially have a criminal record and a decision by a judge in family court. This result would not be fair nor accurately describe what occurred, but sometimes that happens when you do not have good counsel. For me, and anyone else in a similar situation in either family or criminal court, Jeremy is that person you need at your side and who has your back.

My family hired Jeremy in the summer of 2023 after i was charged with a weapons felony charge in New York. He was listed as one of the top attorneys in the state and for good reason. From that first conversation Jeremy instilled confidence in my situation and he showed his expertise in this area. He ...was straight forward and honest throughout the entire process regarding my charges and what to expect moving forward. He immediately outlined a strategy that we went forward with, ultimately resulting in the case against me being dismissed within 3 weeks. Jeremy does incredible work and I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with criminal matters. He’s trustworthy and skillful.

I was in a terrifying and scary case involving charges of PL 130.25 and faced the possibility of SORA registration and going to jail even though I had no record. Before going to Saland Law, I first went to another law firm after the lawyers there said they would take care of my case. On my first day ...in court, a different lawyer showed up and discussed me taking a plea for a crime I didn’t commit. After wasting money and time with a law firm that couldn’t handle my case, I hired Jeremy. It was the best decision hands down. He showed the flaws in the prosecutor’s case and my accuser’s story and how the inconsistencies confirmed my innocence. After Jeremy met with the prosecutor and his boss multiple times, and presented evidence, the DA’s Office backed off their criminal position and made me an offer to disorderly conduct. As Jeremy explained, this is not a crime, won’t leave me with a record, and will seal. Though I considered fighting the case to trial, I realized this was the smart and responsible way to end a case where I had enormous risk and a chance I could have been convicted by a jury. Jeremy’s extensive experience as a criminal lawyer and previously as a prosecutor really shined bright. He was prudent, patience, deliberate, smart, and had great foresight. Just the way he spoke with me was reassuring emotionally and in terms of our legal position. I highly suggest Jeremy Saland. He’s top class in his field.

I hired Jeremy in the summer of 2022 to help defend me against a misdemeanor weapons charge. My research on top-rated defense attorneys led me to call him on a Sunday evening, and he not only took my call, but he then expertly guided me on what I was actually charged with, what to expect and more imp...ortantly, he outlined a potential strategy for our defense. Leading up to the court date, Jeremy was always available, kept me informed of what to expect, and possible outcomes. Jeremy built such an effective defense that my charge was dismissed through an ACD - which is like winning the lottery. I would highly recommend Jeremy and his team to support anyone in the state of New York that is faced with a criminal charge and needs a rockstar defense lawyer .
