It's a fact. Our justice system rates among the best ever invented. But --for better or worse-- the law relies not upon some vague quest for common ground or "truth".  Instead, adversaries are pitted against each other in a form of mortal combat. Lawyers battle each other for the win; each insisting that his or her side has the corner on virtue; that the opposition is simply wrong, if not "evil".

   The stakes are high. With the full weight, seeming prestige and limitless resources of the state brought to bear against the lone citizen; when accusations against you or a loved one are made in the name of "The People of the State of New York..." or, in federal cases, "The United States of America...", the deck may seem unfairly stacked, right from the start.  No doubt, criminal prosecution can be one of life's most stressful events. It can overwhelm the defendant and seriously burden loved ones. Trained to aggressively pursue their case each step of the way to conviction and ultimate sentence, the prosecution predictably casts the accused in dim, unfavorable light --always in public; often in the press. Your good name, reputation and liberty is hanging in the balance. Don't be intimidated! The scales of justice are evened considerably with experienced defense counsel on your side.
