Federal and State Criminal Litigation
In addition to the firm's white collar criminal practice,
Simon & Partners handles
a wide variety of traditional federal and state criminal
cases. As former federal and state prosecutors, the
firm's partners are well equipped to handle virtually
all criminal matters.
The firm also frequently represents New York City police
officers and other law enforcement officers in various
state and federal criminal proceedings. In addition,
the firm is frequently called upon to represent student
athletes by the athletic department of one of New York's
most prominent universities.
Simon & Partners also has a substantial appellate practice, handling both federal and state criminal appeals. The firm is also regularly retained to represent clients specifically for criminal sentencing. Sentencing memoranda submitted by Simon & Partners have been widely praised by federal and state judges and have been highly successful in obtaining non-incarceratory or substantially reduced sentences for convicted clients.
