Criminal charges should never be taken lightly, and without an experienced trial attorney, a defendant lessens his or her chances of dismissal, acquittal, and reduced penalties. The New York Penal Law grants trial judges wide discretion in determining sentences. While crimes typically carry both minimum and maximum sentencing requirements, an experienced and well-respected representative can help a defendant obtain the most favorable result possible. Mr. Ecker is a seasoned trial attorney whose legal knowledge extends to every aspect of the New York criminal justice system. His experience as a former prosecutor allows Mr. Ecker to anticipate and recognize prosecutors' tactics and strategize against them. With a distinguished reputation in the New York legal community and a personalized approach to every case he takes on, Mr. Ecker offers clients an effective defense against any criminal charge.
In many private practices, the most experienced attorney is a managing partner who only handles high-profile cases and refers most client communication to a younger associate or legal assistant. Despite his extensive experience, Mr. Ecker remains a solo practitioner, and never delegates his client duties to another lawyer. His clients are not only appreciative of his accessible and communicative approach, but also his level of expertise and in-depth understanding of criminal procedure and the criminal courts.
A defendant's constitutional rights can be violated at any stage of criminal proceedings -- for example, police officers may violate a suspect's Fourth or Fifth Amendment rights during a detention, arrest, or post-arrest interrogation, while a prosecutor may violate the defendant's Fifth or Sixth Amendment rights before or during trial. As an advocate for the protection of these essential rights, Mr. Ecker is an active member of the New York State Defenders Association, the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
