On August 16th, 2017 our client was acquitted by a New York County Jury of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance, a Class “B” Felony, as well as Possession with Intent to Sell. The District Attorney told the jury that this was an “open and shut case” for a conviction based on the fact there was a video of the sale, which allegedly took place at the Marquee Club in New York, as well as being witnessed by a security guard. At Trial, the District Attorney played the video, called the alleged buyer to the stand and also the security guard who stated he was 5 feet away and witnessed the sale. Significantly, at the Pretrial Hearing, based on the Cross Examination skills of New York Criminal Defense Attorney Todd Greenberg and his knowledge of the Law, all statements and items seized upon our client’s arrest was suppressed in that the People failed to establish “Probable Cause”. Put simply, the District Attorney presenting the case failed to put enough facts into the Hearing to establish the predicate for the arrest! Therefore, the evidence at Trial consisted of an alleged drug sale without any money being recovered from the Defendant! Please call Criminal Defense Attorney Todd Greenberg if you need help and for the best result! Call us at 718-268-0400 or reach us at www.addabboandgreenberg.com.

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.
