Imagine... having your hands forced behind your back. Handcuffs forced on your wrists. Pushed into the back of a police cruised. No rights read. No idea of whats going to happen. The freedoms that you take for granted stripped away from you in an instant. Sitting in a dungeon of a holding facility. Seperated from the outside world, I had to make a phone call and I had to do it quick. I called my best friend and told him to get in touch with Russ Kofman quickly. The charges were bogus...but I knew that the judge wouldnt take my word for it. The cops said I was looking at a felony weapons possession. Real prison time. Russ sprung into action. He knew that each hour I spent in that holding facility was a torturous 60 minutes of uncertainty and fear. Russ knew the ins and outs of the court system better than anyone I had ever met. He was there first thing in the morning and told me not to worry. I was first to see the judge (while others waited indefinitely for a public defendant that couldnt care less). "All charges dismissed. Youre free to go" I wish we lived in a world where the facts spoke for themselves but we don't. You need a trustworthy attorney to communicate those facts for you. A competent lawyer makes the difference between going home to see your family or spending time in a cage. Time in your life that youll never get back. It was an easy decision for me. There is nothing that is worth my money more than my own freedom.

Believe me when I see I will forever be grateful to Russ Kofman and his team who helped me with a felony case this past Summer 2017. A post graduate & someone who is still new to the New York there's nothing more scarier than ending up in a police station after being jumped and robbed by three individuals. As a human being I reacted in self defense which eventually ended up in me potentially facing a felony. Russ Kofman was beyond professional and on top of my case given my situation. I went from not knowing what to do to completely trusting a total stranger. With the help of him and his team my case ended up being dismissed and I've learned from what was an unfortunate experience. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is need of a lawyer !

Russ Kofman, Connor McNamara, Kelsey Eborall, Daniel Bates, and Staff are all phenomenal people who get straight down to business and makes sure that their clients are always overly satisfied with their results in any case. I met Russ and Co being wrongfully accused of DV. The team made sure i was tried fairly and no jailtime. Linked with Russ and Co again for a wrongfully accused assault charge and victory! These guys and gals are very professional and very determined to get the job done and the best results for you! My days of trouble are long gone and i owe it all to Russ Kofman and his outstanding Team!!! I highly recommend this Law firm no matter the case!! Im a proven fact that these guys are AWESOME!! Dont waste your money elsewhere!

I was stopped, took a breathalyzer (.07), and admitted to consuming alcohol. I made a mistake and the odds were not in my favor. Russ and his team were professional, analyzed my case, negotiated the charges, ultimately it was dropped. I highly recommend hiring Russ and his team.

"A very professional firm and very responsible for the defendant. All my questions via emails or phone were answered very fast and my worries were taken seriosly. I was supported for my case during a period of 4 months. I was happy to have chosen this lawyer-office and would recommend it to everybody.“

This firm gets it and while they may seem like they aren’t paying attention to you, when push comes to shove, they absolutely have your back. I trust them implicitly with my future in their hands.

i really highly appreciate this firm.first of all, i had a hard case that made me under severe stress for more than one month .I met with other lawyers before i saw Mr Kofman and they didn't give me the solution which i wanted . I called Mr russ Kofman and he promised me that he can solve the case . MR Conor Macnamara was the lawyer who took my case and he was so professional,responsive and friendly lawyer .he really knows what is he doing.he explained to me everything about my case .my case was solved thanks to his hard work in my case .this is REALLY the best criminal defense firm in NYC.
