People v PG. | All Criminal Charges dismissed against our client charged with PL S 265.01

Criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. The allegations were that our client brought an illegal collapsible baton into JFK, John F Kennedy airport and tried to board a flight with it.

It is very common for us to see cases of clients who are flying and may have forgotten to check their bags for items that are not allowed to be brought on planes. In this instance, our client was charged with this A misdemeanor and given a desk appearance ticket to appear in Queens criminal court. However, she was just traveling through New York and could not appear on the date given to her. If you do not appear on the correct date for a DAT in NYC and your lawyer is not ready to make an argument to the Judge, the Court will issue a bench warrant and you will then be arrested if you have police contact in the future. The skilled criminal defense attorneys at Lebedin Kofman LLP were able to appear without our client, explain the issues to the court and resolve the case with all criminal charges being dismissed against our client leaving her with no criminal record. 

PEOPLE V QS | Kings County, Brooklyn Domestic Violence Case Dismissed.

 Our client was arrested and the complaint against him charged with the counts below. The complainant claimed he threw an object at her head and harassed her with nonstop phone calls and threats.

It is common for prosecutors in NYC, in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Richmond and Kings County to charge all of the below counts in a case of alleged domestic violence. Anytime someone claims that you repeatedly called them, texted them or contacted them otherwise after they told you not to contact them further, the NYPD will reach out to you to attempt to arrest you for Harassment in the second degree. The same is true for alleged threats made over the phone, online, etc. It is important not to make any statements or admissions when this happens and instead indicate that you will have your attorney contact them to organize a surrender. Unfortunately, once a complaint has been made and sworn under penalty of perjury, you must go through the system and see a judge where an order of protection will be entered against you. If you are picked up when you have police contact, you may end up staying 24 hours or more in jail until you see a judge, but when a skilled attorney organizes your surrender, it can be handled with you going to the precinct at 8am and then seeing the judge and getting out the same day. In this case, the criminal defense team at Lebedin Kofman LLP was able to represent this client and have the entire case and all charges dismissed.

People v NR | Case Dismissed

 Case Dismissed for Client charged with grand larceny in the third degree and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree in Queens County Criminal Court. Our Client was alleged to have stolen checks from her employment, fraudulently made them out to herself and another individual stealing thousands of

dollars of funds over multiple checks. She further was alleged to have made statements admitting to the conduct. Lebedin Kofman LLP and our skilled criminal defense attorneys fought for her for months and were able to have all criminal charges dismissed. Though she was initially charged with multiple felony counts, she ultimately walked away with a clean record and no jail time, no probation, or any other penalties. Our attorneys routinely handle such allegations of misdemeanor and felony fraud, theft, wire fraud and embezzlement all over the City of New York in state and in federal court with excellent results.

PEOPLE V. C. | Full Dismissal of All Charges and Compensation for False Arrest

Our Client was charged with Forcible touching and sex abuse in the third degree in Manhattan criminal court in New York County. These allegations stemmed from alleged observations by MTA officers while our client was riding the subway.

Lebedin Kofman defended this case in criminal court and Russ Kofman took the case to trial securing a NOT GUILTY verdict and full dismissal of all charges for our client. Lebedin Kofman later sued the NYPD for false arrest and secured a settlement for our client compensating him for this false arrest and attorney fees.

The defendant is charged as follows:

1 PL 130.52(1) – Forcible Touching (defendant # 1: 1 count)

2 PL 130.52(2) – Forcible touching (defendant #1: l count)

3 PL 130.55 – Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree (defendant #1: 1 count)

People V. J. | Full Dismissal of All Charges

Our client was charged with forcible touching, resisting arrest, and sexual abuse in the third degree in New York County criminal court in Manhattan.

Lebedin Kofman defended this case for almost 2 years and would not accept any plea deal. These cases are very difficult in New York County as the prosecutors generally will not allow a deal without the client getting a criminal record. As our client was totally innocent, we could not allow that to happen. We were able to secure a full DISMISSAL of all charges for our very happy client in this case!

I hired Russ to represent me in a domestic violence/criminal case in Manhattan. From the beginning to end of the case, he was professional, supportive and dependable. He alleviated all of my concerns with the possible outcome of my case by assuring me the case would be dismissed. He was absolutely right and successfully got my case dismissed. He was always there, any time of the day or night to answer any questions or concerns. I highly recommend obtaining him as your attorney, he is the best you can find to have in your corner!!

Russ handled my domestic violence case which flowed into a very messy divorce. He guided me throw this very scary process and resolved the criminal case very quickly, then turned the tables on my husband and absolutely wiped the floor with his divorce lawyer. I was very happy standing next to him in court and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a powerhouse lawyer. His fees were also very reasonable and the fact that you get a great team of lawyers working for you helps very much.

Lebedin Kofman LLP is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Arthur and his team demonstrate exceptional professionalism and legal expertise. I was so scared when I received a letter from the court but, Arthur and his team took the time to carefully explain my options and they worked with me to find a solution. Not only did they solve the problem, they got the case thrown out. I can't praise their work enough.  I've never written a review in my life , but, I had to for Lebedin Kofman LLP.

I was charged with grand larceny. Russ Kofman and his team had all criminal charges against me dropped, I was found guilty of a minor violation. At all times Russ and his associates were available for me and were extremely helpful and professional. I hope that I never have a need for a lawyer again, however Russ Kofman would be my only choice should the need arise.

I had criminal charges against me and needed to hire a lawyer fast. I decided to call Russ Kofman and told him about my case. The cops locked me up and Russ and his team made sure that I was going to get out. Russ told me to keep calm and let him handle everything. Words can’t explain how Russ got me out less then 34 hours and to top it off he made the DA dropped the charges and had the case dismissed.After I got out Lebedin Kofman and I decided to file a lawsuit against the city, and they got me a great settlement.

Do not hesitate to call this firm because they will be right by your side every step of the way. They surely live up to their great reviews.

I contacted this firm after spending nearly a year worrying about the consequences of answering a bench warrant. After submitting my information online I was called later that day and spoke to the attorney. His professionalism and knowledge were immediately comforting and I knew I had made the right move. I appeared in court with an attorney from the firm who guided me every step of the way. I only wish I would I have contacted Lebedin Kofman earlier instead of letting fear of the justice system get the best of me. Thank you Lebedin Kofman for helping me get back on the right track, I would highly recommend this firm.

I had such a great experience with Arthur. I was impressed with how quickly he worked on my case and delivered a result that was beyond what I had expected. He responded to all my questions quickly and allayed my worries. I was lucky to have found him and I would definitely consult him again if any future issues arise.

These guys are great! I am a student in college that made the mistake of drinking and driving. Needless to say, that will never happen again but the entire experience was traumatic. These guys were able to dismiss my criminal charges and find the best possible outcome for my situation. I highly recommend them for their dedication, expertise and professionalism!
