It’s imperative you have someone with experience on your side. Only qualified criminal defense attorneys can tackle these complicated cases.

Orders of protection are becoming a typical line of defense in the criminal justice system. NYC courts issue temporary and permanent orders of protection in cases where there are accusations of sexual abuse and domestic violence.

Temporary orders remain in place for a set period of time. This is usually the period that the case is pending. This means a defendant cannot engage with anyone named in the order until a trial has resulted in an acquittal or conviction, or the defendant has taken a guilty plea via plea bargain.

  • They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.

    “Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
