Fighting for Justice on Behalf of Our Clients for More Than 70 Years
Sparrow & Schreiber is the oldest established criminal defense firm in Queens County, with a strong and proven record of providing aggressive criminal defense while achieving favorable outcomes for our clients. We represent clients in all areas of criminal defense in both federal and state courts throughout New York.
About Our Firm
At Sparrow & Schreiber, we treat every case as a serious matter regardless of the charge. While a criminal prosecution can, of course, threaten your freedom, we are also aware of the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction. A charge that might seem minor or less serious can result in a permanent criminal record, even without a conviction, and even without jail time, it can affect your ability to find or maintain a job, result in a loss of license, or have wider civil or immigration consequences.
When we develop a defense strategy for our clients, in addition to aggressively fighting to avoid or limit incarceration, we emphasize addressing all of the potential issues that you face. And, while we are, of course, experienced in handling criminal proceedings relating to your criminal case, we also handle legal matters that grow out of these proceedings, including hearings that affect licensing, the return of seized property, forfeiture and appeals. The bottom line is that you need experienced lawyers who can walk you through this serious time, and Sparrow & Schreiber works tirelessly to achieve the most favorable outcome for all of our clients. Many of our cases are referred to us by other lawyers who appreciate our extensive experience and expertise, and our record speaks for itself.
What happens if you have a different kind of legal matter, involving for example, a will, divorce or accident? The answer is that you should still contact us first. We are always happy to sit down and discuss any of your legal issues, without any consultation fee. We can then direct you to a legal expert in the area of law dealing with your special situation.
Our Approach
Quality criminal defense is not inexpensive. There are plenty of lawyers who advertise low fees. However, going to court one time and accepting the plea that is offered is no way to practice criminal law, and it runs contrary to what we are as a law firm.
Communication between lawyer and client is central to our practice. We make certain that our clients are kept aware of what we are doing to achieve the best possible result. We value client input, and we make time to sit down and discuss with our clients whatever concerns they may have.
After all, this is a critical time in our clients' lives, and we believe that client involvement is a crucial component to helping us achieve success on our client's behalf. No question raised by a client goes unanswered.
We always conduct an in-depth analysis and investigation of the facts and circumstances in each of our clients' matters. Then, we develop a comprehensive defense strategy. No two cases are alike; each requires an individualized approach. The goal is to work with our clients to do what is best for them under the facts and circumstances of their case.
