SANTA LAW FIRM


WE FIGHT INJUSTICE AND PRESERVE
OUR CLIENTS' REPUTATION

Santana Law Firm is a Tier 1 New York City law firm focused on defending the
rights of people who have been accused of crimes or wrongly victimized by police
or uncaring corporations. Our attorneys have an aggressive reputation and an
exceptional track record, routinely securing not guilty verdicts, positive
settlements, and million-dollar damages in criminal defense, civil rights/police
abuse, and personal injury cases.

Founded and led by former Brooklyn prosecutor and judge Jaime Santana, our
attorneys understand the inner workings of the NYC criminal justice system
because we’ve seen it from every angle. We know the playbook that district
attorneys, judges, and police use, and we use that knowledge to fight injustice
and preserve our clients’ reputations.

HOW SANTANA LAW FIRM
CAN HELP YOU

As former prosecutors ourselves, we know what moves the district attorney’s
office will make—and we know how to plan one or two steps ahead of them. They
are accustomed to criminal defendants and their lawyers quickly caving for a
deal – the process is almost like a machine and when we object to our clients
getting steamrolled into a bad outcome, we have taken the first step toward
securing a better outcome for Santana Law Firm clients.

Our team of best-in-class attorneys and investigators act quickly and
effectively to reduce your chances of conviction and jail time.

We don’t wait for the prosecutor to offer a plea deal or stall your case for
months. We take a proactive approach and plan to aggressively defend you at
trial, if necessary, from day one. Sloppy or over-burdened prosecutors lose
their advantage at this point

More Info

WHEN YOU WORK WITH SANTANA LAW
FIRM, OUR LAWYERS WILL:

 * Work to get your bail reduced or eliminated and seek your immediate release
   from jail
 * Demand and thoroughly review evidence, including police reports, eye witness
   testimony, and photographs
 * Challenge flawed evidence or inconsistent witnesses and inaccurate police
   reports to prevent these prosecutorial tools from tainting your defense
 * Investigate, question, and discredit unreliable witnesses
 * Determine if your civil rights were violated and develop this additional
   defense where appropriate
 * Move to have charges quickly reduced or dismissed completely
 * Identify all possible defenses and build a strong and proactive case
 * Systematically attack every incorrect or otherwise flawed prosecutor’s
   argument against your freedom

THERE IS ALWAYS A DEFENSE AVAILABLE

In criminal cases, the burden is on prosecutors to prove guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt. There are always flaws and ambiguities in the prosecutor’s
argument where reasonable people (jurors) begin to doubt the entirety of the
prosecution, thereby reducing the charge or sentence or avoiding conviction
entirely.

Our lawyers will thoroughly review your case and quarterback a defense that
offers your best chance of a positive outcome.

Possible Defenses to which you
may be entitled include:
1
Innocence, Alibi, & Other Affirmative Defenses

You've been wrongly accused of the crime.

2
Constitutional Violations

Law enforcement violated your rights by illegally searching you or your
property, failing to get a warrant, coercing your confession, or taking other
improper action.

3
Self Defense or Defense of Others

You committed a crime only to protect yourself, others, or your property from
greater harm.

4
Insanity / Intoxication

You were not of sound mind at the time of the crime and did not understand right
from wrong.

5
Duress

You were forced to commit a crime by someone else.

6
Necessity

You committed a crime to prevent more significant or further harm.

7
Entrapment

You were induced to commit a crime by a government actor who can be a police
officer, official, or even a paid informant.

By the time you are arrested, the district attorney’s office will have already
started developing an case against you. The sooner you have legal
representation, the sooner your lawyer can begin reviewing evidence, developing
your defense, and creating a plan to keep you out of jail.

OUR NY CIVIL RIGHTS LEGAL TEAM
FIGHTING BACK AGAINST POLICE ABUSE

A badge doesn’t give law enforcement free reign to lie, abuse, or violate the
law. Even if you’re under criminal investigation, incarcerated, or charged with
a crime, you still have rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Unfortunately, we see civil rights violations all too often in the criminal
cases we handle. If you’ve been injured or mistreated by police or corrections
officers, or if a loved one was killed due to negligence or intentional actions
of law enforcement, you may have a civil rights case.

OUR FIRM REPRESENTS VICTIMS
(AND THEIR FAMILIES)

 * Unlawful
   Police
   Shootings
 * Police
   Misconduct
 * Excessive
   Force Cases
 * In-custody
   Rights
   Violations

More Info

If you’ve been charged with a crime and believe your rights were violated, we
can investigate your case and determine if a civil rights defense may help
reduce your charges or even get your case dismissed.

If you have a standalone civil rights case, our lawyers can evaluate the
evidence, help you choose the best course of legal action, and hold law
enforcement accountable for wrongful behavior.

You may be entitled to damages to compensate you for pain and suffering, medical
bills, lost income, and emotional distress. A judge may also impose punitive
damages against the law enforcement agency or force the agency to make reforms.

and how challenging it is for the average person to win against uncaring
insurance companies, faceless corporations, and other Goliaths.

make that happen, one client at a time, is what we do – every day.
