OUR PHILOSOPHY

An attorney used to be your confidant, your counselor and your friend. Today’s legal environment has created a niche market where an attorney will specialize in one field and can’t practice or predict outside that field. Life doesn’t limit your problems to one area, business doesn’t have one issue arising at a time and the reality is that issues arise in multiples. All your legal needs are our specialty.

CORPORATE LAW

Our corporate lawyers represent entities of all forms, domestic and foreign, as well as individuals and not-for-profits. Our clients range from small start-up ventures to large multi-national public and private corporations. Our team of corporate lawyers brings its talents to every legal matter it handles. Together, our expertise spans a diverse range of corporate law matters, from negotiating and drafting stockholder agreements to aggressive litigation.

CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Ancona Levine is nationally known for its criminal defense prowess and has represented dozens of high-profile federal and state clients in various courtrooms throughout the country. Combining an aggressive courtroom manner and superior knowledge of the law, our firm has worked tirelessly to see that our clients get results. The only truly effective way to protect yourself or your family member is to have the advice and assistance of a thoroughly experienced criminal defense lawyer.

SAFE DEPOSIT BOX LITIGATION

Items that are recommended for storage in a safe-deposit box include birth or marriage certificates, insurance policies, property deeds, rare coins, jewelry, irreplaceable family photos, stock or bond certificates, and foreign currency. Personal belongings that are stored in a safe deposit box should remain untouched and inviolate; but these items are not always guaranteed to be protected. In recent years, insurers and banks have witnessed a rash of safe deposit burglaries perpetrated against numerous financial institutions throughout the country.

REAL ESTATE

From Manhattan to Montauk, preparing for a substantial property transaction in New York needs an experienced attorney who will attend to every detail. For 18 years our firm has been handling real estate transactions throughout the state.

PERSONAL INJURY

The representation of individuals who were seriously or catastrophically injured as a result of negligence is one of the most important fields of law which we have the privilege to practice. We work hard and dedicate ourselves to achieve the best possible compensation for our clients because we know this injury may be the most difficult battle you will ever face. Our multi-million dollar results are a testament to our success.
