also known as The Forfeiture Lawyer℠, Dana
I represent individuals and businesses in connection with investigations and prosecutions brought by federal and state authorities, including those who have been arrested and those who are targets or subjects of a criminal investigation.
I have been practicing law in New York State and Federal Courts since 2000. Initially, I worked for two respected New York City law firms, where I practiced labor law and state and federal litigation.
In 2004, I began my own law practice in Syracuse, New York. Since then, I have handled all kinds of criminal defense and civil litigation cases for clients around the country, including: international drug smuggling cases, RICO cases with murder allegations, conspiracy cases, Hobbs Act cases, environmental cases, kidnapping cases, weapons cases, internet crime cases and larceny cases. I also handle small but important matters, such as shoplifting, DWI and BWI and traffic offenses. I also represent children who have been charged with crimes in New York State Family Court.
I have experience handling federal civil litigation including copyright violations, international contract cases and federal bankruptcy litigation. In New York State Supreme Court, I have handled business disputes, personal injury matters and contract litigation.
Although I have varied experience, I do not take every case that comes in to my office. I will meet with you to determine whether your issue is a matter that I feel that I am best suited to handle. If I feel that you would be better served by another attorney, such as a personal injury specialist, medical malpractice specialist or dedicated divorce lawyer, I will make a referral to a highly-qualified attorney that will best suit your needs.

Prompt Response & Excellent Results
Back in 2008, I got into some trouble with multiple DWI charges, in a few different counties. Another lawyer referred me to Dana, and when I called him he answered my call immediately.
