Amazing lawyer and a true life saver! I made a mistake while driving my car in an effort to avoid a ticket for speeding. Crashing my car because I was driving too fast, the police arrested me and when I saw the judge I was charged with a felony. Though I was so grateful nobody was hurt, I was petrified because not only had I never been in trouble but I was facing a felony. Jeremy Saland not only convinced the district attorney handling my case not to go to the grand jury, but he got the ADA to lower my case from a felony, to a misdemeanor and ultimately to dismiss the case with an ACD. Bottom line is that Jeremy went all out for me and pushed back until he got me the dismissal even when the ADA first wasn’t interested in even considering that type of resolution. Jeremy gets an A+ for fighting for me when I was most down and never letting me get counted out. View More

Incredibly Grateful I am incredibly grateful for Jeremy Saland and his efforts to resolve my arrest for criminal contempt and a family court order of protection, along with a violation of the restraining order, without any finding of wrongdoing in both courts. Without going into detail, my ex and I had broken up and both of us behaved immaturely and irresponsibly in our communications. After being served by the sheriff in Manhattan with a petition and order of protection, I immediately called my ex without reading exactly what I received. When I started to review it, I hung up immediately, but the damage was done. My ex then went to the police and filed a report against me for contempt and she and her attorney also went back to family court to file against me for violating the order because I made “contact”. After speaking to some attorneys, I hired Jeremy. Immediately after hiring him, Jeremy got to work building our defense, of which some was rightfully offense. We filed our own article 8 petition against her for her conduct and challenged the contempt charge. After months of back and forth, despite the claims and three different cases in two courts, the prosecutor offered me a plea to a civil infraction (no criminal record) to take care of the entire criminal case. My case closed without a criminal record. In family court, both my ex and I agreed to mutual orders of protection for one year without any admissions or findings. This resolved both of my two outstanding cases. Jeremy was strategic and calculated. When the other attorney tried to claim I was prevented from fighting my cases in family court because of the deal I received in criminal court, Jeremy responded with a motion to beat that falsehood back. As much as neither I nor my ex likely wanted to find ourselves in this spot, and I am hopeful we can both move forward in healthy way wherever our lives may go, but for Jeremy I would potentially have a criminal record and a decision by a judge in family court. This result would not be fair nor accurately describe what occurred, but sometimes that happens when you do not have good counsel. For me, and anyone else in a similar situation in either family or criminal court, Jeremy is that person you need at your side and who has your back. View More

An incredible and skillful lawyer for criminal charges. My family hired Jeremy in the summer of 2023 after i was charged with a weapons felony charge in New York. He was listed as one of the top attorneys in the state and for good reason. From that first conversation Jeremy instilled confidence in my situation and he showed his expertise in this area. He was straight forward and honest throughout the entire process regarding my charges and what to expect moving forward. He immediately outlined a strategy that we went forward with, ultimately resulting in the case against me being dismissed within 3 weeks. Jeremy does incredible work and I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with criminal matters. He’s trustworthy and skillful. View More

Thank you Jeremy! Unfortunately, amid the the pandemic, I suffered a severe decline in my mental health and a worsening of existing substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, my descent culminated in a psychotic episode during which I committed offenses that would have been unthinkable had I been in my normal state of mind. When I was arrested, the initial charges were staggering, and included felony violent offenses against law enforcement. Frightened and unable to cope with the new reality I was facing, my family and I worked hard to find a criminal defense attorney who was able to grasp the complexities of my case and who had the knowledge and experience to best position myself for the most favorable outcome possible. From the start, Jeremy was nothing short of a God send. Although the prosecution initially did not view bail as applicable to my case, Jeremy was able to secure my release from jail on the condition that I immediately entered intensive in-patient treatment at an out-of-state rehabilitation program. During my four months at this center, Jeremy worked closely with program staff and the court, and was in constant communication with my family. Jeremy ultimately was able to negotiate a plea deal under which I pled guilty to only one felony attempt charge. If I upheld my end of the bargain as outlined in the deal for the prescribed term, all charges were to be dropped at its conclusion, and my case would be dismissed in the interests of justice. I am incredibly grateful to say that this is exactly what occurred. Jeremy persuaded the court, the prosecutor, and representatives from the “Alternatives to Incarceration” program that my charges resulted from a mental health crisis, and were not indicative of my character, or the likelihood of future offenses. Given the multiple alleged felonies I was facing, and the very real possibility of prison time, the fact that today I enjoy freedom, stability and recovery is a testament to Jeremy’s competence. More than ensuring I avoided a criminal record, Jeremy provided myself and my family with peace of mind and confidence throughout an incredibly difficult time. I recommend Jeremy Saland without reservation to anybody caught in the web of the criminal justice system. Jeremy’s character, integrity, and skill are second to none. View More

Amazing work by a Great Attorney, Saved my life I was in a terrifying and scary case involving charges of PL 130.25 and faced the possibility of SORA registration and going to jail even though I had no record. After wasting money and time with a law firm that couldn’t handle my case, I hired Jeremy. It was the best decision hands down. He showed the flaws in the prosecutor’s case and my accuser’s story and how the inconsistencies confirmed my innocence. After Jeremy met with the prosecutor and his boss multiple times, and presented evidence, the DA’s Office backed off their criminal position and made me an offer to disorderly conduct. As Jeremy explained, this is not a crime, won’t leave me with a record, and will seal. Though I considered fighting the case to trial, I realized this was the smart and responsible way to end a case where I had enormous risk and a chance I could have been convicted by a jury. Jeremy’s extensive experience as a criminal lawyer and previously as a prosecutor really shined bright. He was prudent, patience, deliberate, smart, and had great foresight. Just the way he spoke with me was reassuring emotionally and in terms of our legal position. I highly suggest Jeremy Saland. He’s top class in his field. View More

The absolute best we could Have hoped for in an attorney …. I could never have imagined that my special needs son would be arrested and thrust us into into a world we had no idea how to navigate. Thank G-D we were introduced to Jeremy Saland. From the start of this nightmare it was obvious Jeremy had the experience, judgment, and respected presence to skillfully move this case along to a just end. Jeremy was able to articulate everything in an extremely logical and patient way while also being extremely genuine and caring. I will never forget how he didn’t speak “to” or “at” my son, but “with” my son in order to calm and reassure him. Jeremy understands the bottom line and he was creative in the way he steered us along to make sure we got to where my son needed to be. I am forever grateful and appreciative and wanted to say that there is no better attorney to have on your side and help you in your darkest hour. Jeremy wasn’t just “there” for us 24/7, his experience and character shined when we needed it most. View More

Amazing lawyer I was charged with a crime that I absolutely did not commit and hired Jeremy Saland. No matter what I shared or was willing to provide, the DA’s Office still moved forward. Although they made me an offer, I rejected it because I would not admit to anything I did not do even if it meant I would avoid a conviction for the worst charges. After months of stress and anxiety, we went to trial. Even though I knew I was innocent, my fear was that much worse because a jury would decide my fate and I could have ended up incarcerated and a “criminal”. Jeremy worked unbelievably hard, was accessible, and was in contact with me at all hours. After an almost two week-long trial, the jury acquitted me of all the charges. The level of terror I had throughout this process was only second to the degree of relief when the foreperson said “not guilty” for each count. If not for Jeremy believing in me, if not for Jeremy fighting for me, if not for Jeremy being a great lawyer, I would likely be in a jail cell for a crime I did not commit. Jeremy is a compassionate man and when I needed someone to go to war for me, I was grateful and lucky to have Jeremy at my side. View More

Superb Legal Representation Jeremy has been nothing short of fantastic as my legal counsel on two matters where he represented me. He is knowledgeable, responsive, straightforward, and provides consistent updates. He was able to achieve the results we desired for me, and I am forever grateful for his service. Very happy with Jeremy’s work and would recommend him to anyone seeking a capable attorney to represent them as well.

Absolutely the best I cannot speak more highly of Jeremy Saland and his law firm. Jeremy not only did a wonderful job for my case that was ultimately dismissed but he made feel comfortable from the first time I spoke with him. He never made any promises other than working hard but reassured me that everything was going to be OK whenever I became anxious (which was a lot!). I initially came to Jeremy in a complete mess not knowing about my future after a woman I met said that I tried to extort her and the NYPD arrested me. Jeremy went through the allegations against me and we discussed my options and issues that I would face. Jeremy was right about everything. He and his associate were responsive and punctual in court, they answered my questions, and now my case is dismissed. Jeremy is now a friend of my family and proved why he is one of the best lawyers who knows his way around the criminal justice system. Sincerely, View More

Would give him 6 stars if I could There are attorneys and then there is Jeremy Saland. Jeremy became aware of my situation very early on and made contact with the police to discuss an allegation of domestic violence against me. At the time, the police wanted to arrest me and planned on doing so within the next couple of days. Unfortunately, domestic disputes, especially over child custody, can become extremely ugly. Even if an accusation is false, the police must make an arrest. Thankfully, Jeremy took control of my situation and was able to delay my arrest to make sure we were prepared. Far more importantly, after I did turn myself in on the false complaint, Jeremy was ready to speak with prosecutors who, after discussing the evidence with him, declined to prosecute the case. With Jeremy’s effort the charges were thrown out, I was released, and never had to see a judge. There is no doubt Jeremy’s experience as a prosecutor and defense lawyer allows him to get to the most important issues of a case and present a defense in the most compelling way. This is why I hired Jeremy and I'm so glad I did. View More
