Client Reviews

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!!

I had the pleasure of using Lebedin Kofman LLP, i was greatly satisfied, my son had a very difficult case, assault on NYC police officer, and he got the case completely dismissed. They also work with you on payment plans, all in all i was very pleased, and would definitely use them again. But really hoping I won't need to! lol

I have been working with different law firms throughout my career. I have had a variety of experiences some good some bad. With that said, my experience with Lebedin Kofman LLP was stellar. They more than delivered. My experience could not have been better. Arthur and his team really had my back. I did alot of research upfront before selecting them and it really paid off. I cannot thank them enough.

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.

I have used them for my civil cases and my criminal cases they are very hard working and professional. They will stop at nothing to see that you get the justice you deserve and i highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a great law firm. Lastly i would like to thank them for sticking by me and proving my innocence.

Amazing! I highly recommend Russ Kofman! My case was a difficult one and now I'm here without any criminal record thanks to Russ. He is highly skilled in DUI law and criminal defense law. I would recommend him to anyone. I'm so grateful that I chose him as my lawyer !! Very professional, if you're in need of a lawyer that truly is going to get you the best offer possible regarding a DUI, then I suggest Russ Kofman.

Lebedin Kofman has been great to me. They were very understanding regarding my lawsuit and did everything in their power to help me. Kelsey Was amazing, answered back in a timely manner whenever I had Questions and never made me feel uncomfortable or like It wasn’t worth it. They worked hard and ended up getting me a nice sized lawsuit. I appreciate them for all of their work and would recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer who actually cares about you and your case.

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!

I was charged with a DWI last year. I definitely did not know what to do. Until I did my research and found out about this law firm. Amazing lawyers who worked hard on my case and got it dismissed!! I would recommend Lebedin Kofman to anyone looking for a DWI lawyer in NYC!

Brooklyn Criminal Defense: What to Review Early

A Brooklyn criminal case may involve NYPD precincts, Kings County Criminal Court, Brooklyn Supreme Court, federal court in the EDNY, DMV issues, or parallel investigations. The defense should begin by identifying the court, charge level, arrest agency, evidence, and deadlines.

Early Defense Priorities

The exact court location, docket status, charge level, and next appearance.
Whether the case involves video, body camera, surveillance, phone data, search warrants, or witness statements.
Orders of protection, immigration concerns, licensing issues, employment consequences, and release conditions.
Whether the facts connect to a DWI, federal, violent felony, theft, fraud, gun, drug, or domestic violence silo page.

Local Case Strategy

Brooklyn cases can move quickly, and early choices may affect bail, discovery, motion practice, negotiations, hearings, and trial posture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Brooklyn criminal cases all go to the same court?

No. Misdemeanor, felony, summons, family-related, and federal matters may proceed in different courts or agencies, so the first step is confirming the exact forum and charge posture.

What should I preserve after a Brooklyn arrest?

Preserve paperwork, court notices, photos, messages, videos, witness names, medical records, and any details about police statements or searches. Do not contact witnesses without legal guidance.

Can a Brooklyn criminal case also become a federal case?

Some investigations can involve federal agencies or EDNY prosecutors, especially where firearms, narcotics, fraud, interstate activity, or larger investigations are alleged.
