Victim Advocacy & Internal Investigations

Nobody likes to be a victim. There are few worse pains than when a person violates your trust and kindness or abuses his or her access to your personal information and finances. Sadly, whether by a former friend, employee, partner or lover, the ease by which a person can both access and share personal, financial and intimate information is terrifying. If you are a victim of an Extortion and Blackmail or a more secretive Embezzlement, your concerns are likely magnified by potential and realized financial losses. As Manhattan Assistant District Attorneys, New York criminal lawyers and wearing both hats as victim advocates, the two founding attorneys at Saland Law have successfully created and developed cases involving, defended clients against allegations of and advocated to best protect victims from fraud and theft. While not every case requires the tedious investigation that the lawyers at Saland Law are capable of pursing, the advocacy we provide inside and outside the courtroom is invaluable.
