At Tarshis & Hammerman, we defend clients against all types of federal and state crimes, including: homicide, assault, aggravated assault, rape and other sex crimes, or violent crimes; robbery, burglary and larceny, including armed robbery and theft; drug charges, including marijuana possession with intent to sell, smuggling heroin and conspiracy to distribute drugs; DWI, DUI, felony DUI and vehicular homicide; driving with a suspended or revoked license; white collar crimes, including embezzlement, wire fraud, securities fraud and a variety of business crimes; guns and weapons offenses; juvenile crimes ranging from shoplifting to drug possession to violent crimes.

- Family Law / Divorce

Since 1985 our Queens divorce lawyers have been helping clients deal with all family law issues, including: filing for divorce, whether no-fault or fault-based, contested or uncontested; child custody and visitation issues, including grandparents' rights; child support and spousal maintenance / alimony; separation agreements; asset allocation and complex property division; and domestic violence. In 2010, New York joined other states in allowing no-fault divorce. This means that a spouse who wants a divorce no longer has to prove that the other spouse was abusive, cheated or committed any other type of wrongdoing.

- Personal Injury

We handle a wide variety of injury cases, helping people get the compensation they need and deserve. We are very experienced in dealing with: motor vehicle accidents: car crashes, taxi accidents, bus accidents, motor vehicle-pedestrian accidents, bicycle-car accidents and drunk driver accidents; sidewalk and other slip-and-fall accidents: injuries caused by slip-and-falls on a sidewalk or even a fall down the stairs that would not have occurred if the property had been reasonably cared for; ladder and scaffolding accidents: falls from ladders and falls from scaffolds often resulting in serious, permanent injury; and construction injuries and accidents: for pedestrians or construction workers hurt while on the job.

- Estate Planning / Probate

When someone makes a will or establishes a trust, they are taking steps to protect their families if they should die. The complexity of the process varies with the financial and personal circumstances of each client. At the Queens law firm of Tarshis & Hammerman, we draft wills and draw up trusts that meet our clients' needs for the future. We also will help a client designate a guardian for minor children, provide for the support and care of vulnerable family members and ensure that our client's final wishes are carried out.
