Offices — New York

New York.

The firm’s home court: where it was built, where it tries cases, and where it answers to the standard this city sets.

The City
Every firm has an address.
This one has a home court.

New York is where the firm was made, not merely where it keeps an office. The firm’s trial work began here, in Brooklyn courtrooms where Mr. Santoro authored the Kings County District Attorney’s training manual on the prosecution of vehicular offenses, and in the state and federal courthouses where more than a thousand matters have since been tried, negotiated, or quietly closed.

The city rewards preparation and punishes everything else. Its judges have seen every argument, its prosecutors have every resource, and its juries, drawn from the sharpest and most skeptical population in the country, extend no benefit of the doubt to lawyers who have not earned it. Earning it here is its own credential.

From Rockefeller Center, the firm serves clients across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and upstate New York, in every state court, and in all four of New York’s federal districts.
