About This Firm

Criminal Defense Attorney. Call 212-227-1914

Labe M. Richman has over twenty-five years of experience representing criminal defendants at trial or on appeal.

He is a former adjunct professor of law at New York Law School where he taught trial advocacy. He is a published author in the area of criminal law, trial practice and the relationship of criminal to immigration law. He has received the highest possible rating from Martindale-Hubbell which is "Preeminent."

He handles all types of criminal cases, both simple and complex. He has represented doctors, lawyers, securities brokers, mortgage brokers, building consultants, and business owners. He has handled charges that range from simple drug possession to murder or complex white collar. These include securities, bank, wire and mail fraud, computer crimes, environmental crimes, financial structuring, bribery, drug possession, drug trafficking, burglary, robbery, assault, larcenies, shoplifting, extortion, money laundering, forgery, gambling, prostitution, drunk driving, immigration fraud, illegal re-entry into the United States, and weapons possession. He has a great deal of experience in both New York State and federal courts.

He is a widely-respected lawyer who has lectured at Rutgers Law School, Seton Hall Law School, the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law, Columbia Law School, the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, the Office of the Capital Defender, the New York County Lawyers' Association, the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the New York State Bar Association, the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. He was a faculty member of the Cardozo Law School Intensive Trial Advocacy Program and Criminal Appeals Clinic.

He also won an award from the New York County Lawyer's Association for his development and presentation of an innovative course on trial communication techniques. This cutting-edge course explored the use of psychology, drama and advertising at trials. Because of his research in this area, he is prepared to present your case in the most dynamic and effective way possible.

Labe Richman is one of the few criminal attorneys who combines expertise in both trials and appeals. This means that in addition to his courtroom skills, he is able to studiously present his client's position in legal papers that are scholarly, well-written and persuasive.

His successes in his appellate practice can be reviewed at our website for his post-conviction and appellate work: www.ConvictionAttack.com.

REPRESENTING ALIENS IN CRIMINAL CASES

There are times when the immigration consequences of a criminal case will be much worse than the penal consequences. Labe Richman is a criminal defense attorney who is extremely sensitive to the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. When representing any alien he will make every effort to craft a resolution of the case which will avoid dire immigration consequences. Moreover, he will make sure that every client who is pleading guilty, or going to trial, will know the immigration consequence of that decision. This is very important. In some cases, we have seen defendants who were offered pleas of guilty that would not have led to deportation but after a trial loss, they were deportable with no remedy. Or, there were defendants whose plea of guilty led to deportation but if the plea agreement had been changed slightly, the defendant could have avoided deportation. Having an attorney like Mr. Richman can have a lasting effect on an alien's life. Because of his expertise in this area, one of his web site addresses is: www.NYCriminalandImmigrationLaw.com

We realize that many aliens do not speak English. Our firm has access to attorneys, para-legals, and interpreters who speak many other languages and we will ensure that we are able to communicate effectively with all our clients, regardless of their proficiency in English. In the past, we have represented Latin Americans, Russians, Koreans, Chinese, Albanians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, and others.

POST-CONVICTION WORK FOR ALIENS

Labe Richman has a strong record in representing aliens who in the past pleaded guilty to crimes without knowing the dire immigration consequences that would ensue. He specializes in trying to undo old convictions which are causing immigration problems. Again, those specifically interested in this part of his practice should visit the ConvictionAttack website noted above.

About Client Rating
About Peer Rating

Welcome to Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review, a new ratings service that allows you to view and provide feedback on a lawyer or law firm on service and relationship qualities such as Communication Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and Value for Money.

Determining a Rating

The Client Review Rating is determined through aggregation of validated responses. This compilation of Client Reviews translates to a numerical rating and associate descriptive term on a scale of 1 -5. 1 being lowest as "Rated" and 5 being highest as "Preeminent".

  • 4.5-5.0 Preeminent
  • 3.0-4.4 Distinguished
  • 1-2.9 Rated

Martindale-Hubbell uses a third-party resource to validate that the respondent is a living person, but cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship, which in many cases is confidential. Clients must affirm that they are a client of the lawyer or firm identified for review at the time of the completed Client Review.

The Reviewers

Those who complete Client Reviews are clients of law firms who hired a lawyer within the last year, whose matter is not pending, and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be of any type from in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners to private individuals, and even sometimes another lawyer in a different jurisdiction.

Anonymity

Client Reviews are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published; however a summary of basic demographics will be part of the display of responses.

Why do we collect demographics as part of the review?

Those who are researching a lawyer or law firm like to see that there are other clients who might be "like them". This is valuable information contributing to the decision-making process of hiring a lawyer.

Martindale-Hubbell's role

Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the process of Client Review by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the clients of the firm or lawyer.

It is important to note that Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Client Reviews for all firms and lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review over which Martindale-Hubbell exercises no editorial review or control.
