After years of litigation, on February 19th, 2013, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, granted Addabbo and Greenberg’s client suppression of a gun found in a draw in his bedroom. At the Probable Cause Hearing, attorney Todd Greenberg argued that the District Attorney failed to present any evidence concerning the information to support a reasonable belief that an offense was committed by this Defendant. Instead, the District Attorney relied on the Doctrine of “Collateral Estoppel” from another case. In the Brief filed by Addabbo and Greenberg, argued that collateral estoppel should not apply. Supreme Court agreed and since collateral estoppel did not apply, and the People failed to present the necessary evidence, the gun and a statement was suppressed as being obtained in violation of our client’s Constitutional Rights. Once again, knowledge of the Law and skillful brief writing has led to the best result possible for a client of Addabbo and Greenberg.

9/28/26 Nassau County Jury: “NOT GUILTY“ DWI
Our client, a 30-year-old businessman, was stopped for speeding. The police officer allegedly smelled alcohol and eventually arrested the client, who blew a .12 on the breath test. Mr. Greenberg argued to the jury that despite the reading, our client’s physical appearance and characteristics were stronger; therefore, the instrument was not accurate. Mr. Greenberg also argued to the Jury that our client's BAC was higher at the time of the test, one hour after he was stopped, than at the time he was driving, because of the absorption of the alcohol into his blood during that one-hour period. The Jury did find the defendant guilty of driving while impaired, which is what we were requesting of the Nassau County District Attorney Office to plead to. The District Attorney wouldn’t give it, but the Jury did!

Gun Charges at JFK Airport Dismissed and Sealed
New York weapons and gun laws are among the strictest in the country as our client, a licensed gun holder in Nassau County, came to find out when he accidentally brought the wrong bag to JFK airport on his way to catch a flight to a meeting. Although licensed in Nassau County, a New York City Special Carry License is needed to carry in New York City. The Queens District Attorney charged our client with Criminal Possession of a Weapon as a Class C Felony, with a mandatory minimum of 3 ½ years! Mr. Greenberg moved swiftly to get the client released from jail, conferenced the case with the Queens District Attorney’s Office, and put together a mitigation package. The case was Dismissed and Sealed within days of the arrest! It is extremely important that your attorney be highly experienced in dealing with similar cases with both the Queens District Attorney’s office and the Queens Courts. Don’t leave your future in the hands of chance after being arrested at an NYC airport, licensed or not.
