Taheri Information

We provide representation in both state and federal criminal matters throughout the pre-indictment, trial, and appellate stages. We also handle related actions arising out of criminal matters, such as proceedings initiated by the New York State Liquor Authority, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, hearings before professional licensing boards, and other administrative proceedings.How We Work With ClientsAn essential part of our representation is to respond quickly and accurately to our client's questions and concerns. We believe that successful representation requires keeping the client fully involved in his or her case. At Condon and Taheri, the client is informed of all developments in his or her case. Unless specifically advised otherwise, we copy the client on all legal memoranda, correspondence, and pleadings prepared by the firm or submitted to the court by the prosecution.How We Practice LawWe believe in a "team approach" to criminal defense. After meeting with a client, we assemble a defense team consisting of lawyers, our paralegal staff, and, if necessary, other experts to explore the various aspects of the client's case and determine how best to proceed with trial preparation. Our firm encourages the client to interact with the "team" and actively assist in defining and achieving the goals at trial or during plea negotiations.Because of the sensitive nature of many of the cases we have handled, we take great pride in resolving criminal matters is a quiet and confidential manner. We realize that in many cases, the publicity surrounding a criminal investigation or the filing of criminal charges can be as damaging to our clients' interests as a conviction. No decisions are made without considering all aspects of the case, including the collateral consequences surrounding a criminal disposition and the potential for publicity adverse to the client or the client's business.For more information about our firm, please feel free to contact us by e-mail, telephone, fax or use the comment form.
