Our New York City & Buffalo Criminal Defense Firm Fights For You
Being approached by a police officer can be intimidating. Being charged with a criminal offense, such as drug possession, DWI or drunk driving, can be frightening. If you have been cited or arrested for any criminal charge, the Law Offices of John J. Carney can help protect your rights at an affordable, flat rate.
Reasonable Rates
We realize you work hard for your money, so we make our fees reasonable and offer affordable payment plans. Unlike other lawyers who will charge you between $200-400 an hour, our firm offers a flat rate so there is no surprise on what the total amount will be. Fees starting at as low as $500.
Experienced Criminal Defense Team
Our legal team has more than 25 years of experience representing and defending high profile criminal cases throughout New York state. We exclusively handle criminal defense cases. Our experience with criminal defense cases throughout New York has helped us build relationships with district attorneys, probation and parole officers, and drug counselors.
Our experience also extends to appeals. We understand the complex appeals process. We can walk you through your appeal process step-by-step so you can better understand your possible outcome.
Thorough Representation
Our lawyers are thorough. We take time with you to discuss all the facts of your case. Then we start an investigation to help build your defense. We try to locate defense witnesses, or anyone with information that can help your case. We can also bring in private investigators to see if state's witness testimony is biased or trustworthy. We use our thorough investigation to help negotiate your charge or take your case to trial.
Aggressive Negotiation
Our lawyers understand that criminal charges can negatively impact your life. You could lose your job, your reputation and possibly even the right to child custody or visitation. We have more than 25 years of experience negotiating favorable plea deals with prosecutors. We try to negotiate charges to help minimize your consequences. Negotiations and plea deals can help prevent:
- A criminal record
- Drug court responsibilities
- Probation restrictions
- Excessive fines

We understand that you might receive a better outcome from taking your case to trial. Our lead attorney, John J. Carney, has extensive state and federal court experience. He is familiar with the laws, procedures, and precedents necessary to help navigate jury procedures. This experience helps him properly present cases to juries, cross examine witnesses and formulate summations — all of which can help your case.
