About Richard
Biography
I have handled in excess of a thousand criminal defense matters during my carrer, and have personally participated in more than 50 jury trials in New York State. I believe that every person is entitled to a strong defense when accused of a crime. I also believe that communication between the attorney and the client is paramount to achieve the best possible result.
