INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRM 

If you or a loved one has been arrested and charged with a crime, this is a defining moment in your life.  Do not leave your future, or the future of a loved one, to chance.  Leave it in our hands. 

If you are convicted of a crime, that conviction will become part of your permanent record, accessible by law enforcement and government agencies, as well as by civilian employers.  For this reason all criminal matters, from major felonies to misdemeanor traffic violations, must be treated as if your life, or at least your future, depended upon the outcome, because it often does. 

At times favorable dispositions can be achieved by negotiating hand in hand with the courts and prosecutors.  Other times, however, favorable dispositions are not possible because of hard-line prosecutors favoring strict plea bargaining policies over sound case analysis and fundamental fairness.  At Raiser & Kenniff, we make it our business to identify these differences at the very beginning of every case. 

When no favorable disposition is likely, we will utilize all the tools at our disposal, under the Constitutions of the United States and the State of New York, to push a tired and at times overwhelmed system to work in your favor.  Getting to this point is not easy.  It takes tenacity, good judgment and hard work.  At Raiser & Kenniff, we have the motivation, experience and reputation to meet this challenge, every time. 

At Raiser & Kenniff you get more than outstanding defense attorneys; you get an advocate and a friend that will stand with you at a crucial time in your life. Those who want to protect their future, their livelihood and their freedom, call Raiser & Kenniff first.
