Long Island Felony Defense Lawyers

Assault • Murder • Manslaughter • Rape • Robbery

An arrest for a violent crime or major felony often leaves defendants with few legal options. Prosecutors are less likely to volunteer a good deal — in fact, they may be intent on seeking the maximum penalties. Judges have little leeway under mandatory minimum sentencing.

Your freedom may ultimately be decided by a jury. For this reason, make sure that you hire a criminal trial lawyer with a record of success in challenging the same charges you are facing.

Experienced Felony Defense Lawyers
Our first goal is dismissal of charges, including the primary indictment as well as tacked-on charges. Grunwald & Seman, P.C. leaves no stone unturned in examining the prosecution's case during the discovery phase. We scrutinize police reports and physical evidence for any opportunity to suppress damaging evidence. We also investigate for procedural errors or weaknesses that would make evidence inadmissible or create reasonable doubt for a jury:

• Conflicting witness statements
• Prosecutorial misconduct
• Violation of civil rights by police in arrest or interrogation
• Illegal search and seizure
• Grounds for and execution of search warrants or wiretaps
• Entrapment by undercover agents
• Reliability of informants
• Testing and custody of DNA samples

Our felony defense attorneys, Milton Grunwald and Karl Seman, are former prosecutors themselves. Clients benefit from valuable insight into the prosecution's mindset, familiarity with law enforcement procedures, and tactical advantage in discovery, negotiations, and the courtroom.

When we can pull the curtain back on the prosecutor's case, Grunwald & Seman, P.C. has been successful in negotiating favorable plea bargains. Reducing a Class C felony to a Class D or Class E felony, for instance, can shave several years off a prison sentence. While most cases are pled down to some degree, our reputation at trial and our willingness to go before a jury often results in better outcomes in negotiations.
