However, at the Brill Legal Group, we have the experience, resources and skill to provide each client with aggressive and effective defense representation.

At the Brill Legal Group, criminal defense is all we do. We have more than 10 years of fraud defense experience, representing clients accused of: Welfare fraud; Unemployment fraud; Social Security (SSDI) fraud; Section 8 housing fraud; and And other types of benefits fraud. A benefits fraud charge may be the product of a mere misunderstanding. Perhaps a spouse died, and in your grief, you failed to inform the necessary parties. Perhaps you simply forgot to fill out the proper form. Perhaps you are in true need of government assistance and the government has made a terrible mistake. Whatever the circumstances, do not expect government officials to understand your illness or believe your story. At the Brill Legal Group, we carefully listen to your situation in order to gain a more clear understanding. Whenever possible, we will illustrate your case and negotiate for a positive outcome. However, we realize that a full trial is necessary in some cases, which is why we are always prepared to aggressively represent you in court. Rest assured, we will gather the necessary evidence and testimony to effectively challenge the government's case against you.

- Disciplinary Hearings

Our attorneys have a wealth of knowledge and experience representing clients in disciplinary and professional licensing hearings. We've handled thousands of cases over the past 10 years, and we're very good at it. You can count on us to prepare an effective and compelling defense. We represent professionals who have been charged with criminal activity or who are under investigation for misconduct. Whether the case involves legal malpractice, medical malpractice or a crime like drunk driving, we provide the necessary legal resources and quality representation throughout the entire disciplinary process. As part of their contracts, union members have a right to a disciplinary hearing if suspected of misconduct at work. Even if the alleged misconduct occurred while you were not working, many government and private employers will still seek to fire you--even if your actions have no bearing on your ability to do the job. The attorney you choose to represent you at this hearing can make a significant difference in whether there are formal charges filed and the severity of any penalties. Our attorneys have significant experience handling cases involving the New York State Division of Parole, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the New York City Department of Education, and others.

- Drug Possession or Sale

The criminal defense attorneys of the Brill Legal Group have a successful record of defeating drug sale and possession charges or limiting the consequences. Our Hempstead, New York law firm has favorably resolved cases for adult and juvenile clients throughout Nassau County and Suffolk County. Peter Brill is a former Nassau County prosecutor and brings 10 years of criminal defense experience on Long Island. Our legal team has handled hundreds of drug cases, including: Possession of marijuana (misdemeanor quantity); Possession of heroin, cocaine, crack or other controlled substances; Unlawful possession of prescription narcotics; and Sale of drugs or transporting drugs.

- Prescription Drug Fraud

Brill Legal Group represents anyone charged with prescription drug fraud or felony possession of a controlled substance. Our firm has helped clients throughout Nassau County and Suffolk County avoid conviction or escape the worst consequences. We have represented adults and juveniles facing felony fraud charges for illegally obtaining prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, Xanax, Adderall, Ritalin or anabolic steroids: Stealing prescription pads or forging prescriptions; Doctor shopping and faking symptoms; and Filling one prescription at several pharmacies. We have also defended physicians accused of writing fraudulent or excessive scrips; pharmacists accused of overfilling prescriptions, dispensing without a prescription, or diluting drugs to sell them twice; nurses or pharmacy workers stealing pills and selling them.

- Bench Warrants

When a bench warrant is issued with your name on it, you can be arrested and put in jail at any time, whether at work, at home, or at a traffic stop. A bench warrant is issued when you have failed to appear at a court hearing, and puts you in a very dangerous situation. Often, police will show up at your home in the very early morning hours and drag you out of bed in whatever you sleep in to go see the judge, not te ideal situation by far. It requires immediate action from a New York bench warrant defense lawyer. In many cases, the situation can be resolved without the necessity of being arrested and put in jail before the hearing. However, each case is unique and must be thoroughly reviewed in order to determine how to proceed. An attorney from the Brill Legal Group will act quickly and decisively on the client's behalf to try to avoid some of the possible repercussions you could face under New York State law.

- Probation and Parole Violations

Probation or parole violations, when not properly handled, can make your life a nightmare. When a probation or parole office issues a violation, whether it is substantive or technical, you face the possibility of jail for months, if not years. When the court has determined that you have violated the terms of your probation or parole, whether for drug use, curfew violations, or a criminal conviction, the judge can decide that you will spend the remainder of the sentence incarcerated, or in some cases for longer than the original sentence you avoided by being allowed probation or parole. Using an attorney who has met you for five minutes and knows nothing about your specific circumstances is not an option when years of your life are on the line. Any such case requires immediate action from a defense attorney who knows the system, whether in New York City or on Long Island.
