Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Goldberg & Allen, LLP is a team of seasoned criminal defense attorneys providing aggressive civil defense and representation anywhere in the NYC metro areas. Finding a defense attorney with experience as a prosecutor and First Deputy Bureau Chief is a rare opportunity to leverage extensive knowledge of our area courts and systems.

Both partners in our firm — Jay K. Goldberg and Gerald Allen — reached this highly influential level in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office. We both spent over a decade inside the New York criminal justice system, dealing extensively with prosecution strategies, search warrant procedures, police tactics and other issues that may be critical in your case.

Our law firm has achieved many successes since our founding in 1996, obtaining acquittals, dismissals and favorable plea bargains for people facing felony and misdemeanor charges from DWI and drug crimes to burglary, robbery, weapons offenses, white collar crimes and murder. We have also taken strong action for false arrest and police brutality victims, filing suits against the City of New York and achieving sizable monetary settlements for our clients.

Many court officials and prosecutors respect us for building strong cases and handling them with drive and integrity. Our attorneys are veterans of many trials, and we are also skilled negotiators determined to obtain the best outcomes by the most effective, efficient means. Whether you have been arrested, learned you are under investigation, or were victimized by police misconduct, let our firm provide you with serious strategy, preparation, client service and results.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- White Collar Crimes

Our New York City white collar crimes attorneys are former high-level prosecutors themselves, with the knowledge to analyze all circumstances and pursue the best possible outcome in cases involving: Embezzlement, forgery and fraud offenses, including mail fraud or wire fraud, health care fraud, mortgage fraud or contract fraud; Bribery of an inspector, police officer or other government agent — or charges of giving or receiving unlawful gratuities; Enterprise corruption — a Class B felony charge alleging involvement in a conspiracy, often combined with federal RICO charges; Falsifying business records to profit illegally, conceal other crimes or obtain government benefits; and Money laundering and a wide range of other serious white collar charges.

- Driving and Traffic Crimes

We are not "speeding ticket lawyers," and we do not handle basic moving violations. Both attorneys in our firm are former high-ranking officials in the Brooklyn D.A.'s office, and we devote our energies to charges with potentially serious impact on our clients. Those matters include the most serious driving crimes, such as: Driving while intoxicated (DWI), including first-time and multiple offenses, felony DWI and underage DWI; Driving under suspension or aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO); Reckless driving or hit and run; and Vehicular manslaughter or vehicular assault. Please do not take chances on your own or with inexperienced counsel if you have been charged with DWI, aggravated unlicensed operation or another serious New York driving crime. To protect your freedom and privileges to the greatest extent possible, let us put our knowledge and experience to work for you.

- Felonies and Misdemeanors

Our firm's case successes speak for themselves, from many successful DWI defense efforts to dismissals earned in major felony drug cases and acquittals at trial for people accused of burglary or murder. We bring knowledge and effort that makes a real difference for people accused of: White collar crimes such as embezzlement, fraud & forgery — including complex cases involving grand jury or other government investigations, and those resulting in charges of enterprise corruption; Driving and traffic crimes that can damage people's livelihoods and futures, such as any level of drunk driving — a more serious offense than ever after recent changes in the law — and aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO) or vehicular manslaughter; Drug possession or trafficking in illegal substances from marijuana and cocaine to methamphetamine or prescription medications, including major cases in federal court; and A complete range of other felonies and misdemeanors — from violent crimes such as assault and domestic violence to theft, robbery, burglary or weapons charges.

- Drug Crimes

We provide resourceful, effective drug crime defense in state and federal courts, for people charged with offenses ranging from simple possession to drug trafficking. Our experience extends to numerous cases involving: Marijuana possession, sale or related offenses; Cocaine possession or sales, including crack cocaine charges; Methamphetamine ("crystal meth") possession, distribution, trafficking or manufacture; Charges arising from unlawful possession or sale of prescription drugs; and Other drug charges involving heroin, Ecstasy, and a full range of other controlled substances. For the high-level defense you need to fight a drug charge or get consequences that enable you to move forward in life, let a prosecutor's perspective work to build a strong defense strategy.

- Criminal Appeals

Not all criminal defense lawyers are prepared to pursue a criminal appeal, which requires a high level of experience and a specific skill: the ability to read the record of a prosecution and identify actionable mistakes by an attorney or judge. At Goldberg & Allen, LLP, we have handled criminal defense efforts and trials at all levels. We enforced action within the law and ethical attorney conduct daily throughout our terms as high-level prosecutors in Kings County during the 1980s and 1990s. If you believe you may have the basis for a valid state or federal criminal appeal, we are here to evaluate your case.
