Our lawyers know what you have at stake, and we develop and execute our defense strategies to protect you to the greatest extent possible from the consequences of a criminal conviction. If you're a licensed professional, you might face disciplinary proceedings if you accept a guilty plea on a domestic violence charge. If you're a college student, you might lose your access to school loans if you plead guilty to misdemeanor drug possession. Our counsel accounts for your long-range interests as we advise you about your immediate criminal defense problems.
Matt Galluzzo and Zack Johnson are both former Assistant District Attorneys in the New York County D.A.'s office. We understand how charging decisions are made, and we know what the government needs to prove to win a conviction on a given charge. We also know what the prosecution needs to see from a defendant to back away from the most serious charges or to cooperate with diversion or dismissal options.
Our background and familiarity with prosecution practices is an asset during negotiations, but we're also experienced trial lawyers who can present your defense in court whenever it's in your interests to do so. We also handle cases on appeal at all levels of the New York judicial system.
At Galluzzo & Johnson, our goal is to make sure that our clients understand their options and have the information they need to make sound decisions concerning the choice between a plea offer and a trial. We also protect our clients to the greatest degree possible from the collateral consequences of a conviction.
