Criminal Defense

Most of my clients are professionals who find themselves in a difficult situation. As you can see from my website, www.lawahl.com , I am able to do my best work for clients who contact me at the earliest opportunity. In large measure, early intervention permits me to manage information and therefore I can have a tremendous impact on the ultimate outcome of a case.

I have successfully handled securities fraud litigation, financial crimes, money laundering, arms dealing, foreign corrupt practices violations, business loss, homicide, sex crimes, conspiracy, and narcotics offenses. I was U.S. counsel in a case at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague. I regularly consult with lawyers from throughout the world and represents the interests of businesses and individuals.

We were retained by a prominent businessman from California who was questioned by the FBI relating to an international bribery investigation which involved a high ranking foreign government official. After a lengthy investigation by our office and the pre-indictment presentation of compelling evidence to the Government we were able to convince the Prosecutor that our client was not the correct target of their interest, the investigation was re-focused on other individuals and the case against him was abandoned.

A physician came to us after being contacted by the FBI. The Agents insisted that the physician was involved in a kick-back scheme involving his prescription activities. After a thorough examination of all of the evidence, including several videos of our client interacting with the undercover pharmaceutical representative, we presented our legal analysis and findings and conclusions to the Government and successfully argued that no case could be proven against our client. The case was dropped.

Whether you have come under investigation or actually been charged with a crime, you need to act rapidly to protect yourself, your family, your business and your assets. Having strong, aggressive and creative defense counsel involved at the earliest moment of your case significantly shifts the odds in your favor.

Over the course of 25 years we have successfully represented individuals and businesses in financial crimes, securities fraud litigation, Medicaid fraud, money laundering, arms dealing, foreign corrupt practices violations, RICO cases, embezzlement, extradition, business loss, homicide, sex crimes, assorted violent crimes, conspiracy, narcotics offenses and domestic crimes.

Many of our cases involve international transactions or allegations of transnational crimes. Through the international work we have engaged in, we have developed a network of associations with law firms and colleagues throughout the world who know the current local conditions and are available to participate with us in international matters.

We are known as aggressive, tenacious and creative defenders. We give all the time and attention that your case requires because we know that the issues you are addressing are likely the most important and most stressful issues you have ever addressed in your life.

We understand that, more than anything, you want your life and your business to return to normal. We are committed to doing everything we can to accomplish that goal as quickly and effectively as is possible.

In 1991, while also managing my own criminal defense practice, I was instrumental in starting the Manhattan School for Children, an award winning public school in New York which both of his children attended. In 1992, I helped found the first Institutional Review Board (IRB) to review clinical research proposals for their ethical impact on participants at Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York City. In 1994, I completed post-graduate work in Medical Bio-Ethics and the Humanities at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and Einstein School of Medicine.

In 1996, under contract to the City of New York, I built a new public defender's office in The Bronx known as The Bronx Defenders, and thereafter supervised 25 lawyers and the necessary support staff to handle 13,000 cases per year.

Thereafter, I started Arsahck, Hajek & Lehrman.

I was elected President of the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2007. I am AV-Rated by Martinadale-Hubbell. In addition, I am the elected representative of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) to the Council of the International Criminal Bar (ICB), a member of the Board of Directors of the International Criminal Defense Attorneys Association - USA (ICDAA), and Co-Chairman of the International Committee of the NACDL and a member of the Board of New York Sun Works.

This depends on the case. All fees are set forth in writing before work begins.

Varies.

I always provide a free initial consultation. That is how I decide if I want to represent a person. These consultations sometimes take several hours.

There are no typical cases.
