Criminal Law

Aggressive defense protecting your rights and freedom

Criminal charges are serious and intimidating. Misdemeanors and felonies, whatever the charges may be, need appropriate handling. While there are good offices in some counties, not every case is suitable for handling by the Public Defender. We are available in even the most difficult situations.

With over 50 years of criminal defense experience, Jeffrey B. Neustadt provides aggressive, strategic representation to protect your constitutional rights and freedom. We handle cases at every stage, from investigation through trial and appeals.
