Defending clients against serious criminal charges

Our senior attorney, Frank A. Ortiz, has handled many jury trials for clients accused of major felonies. He has defended clients in a number of high profile murder cases, representing them in Spanish and English-language media outlets as well as in court. In addition to homicide defense, Attorney Ortiz defends clients against major charges such as:

• Wire fraud

• White-collar crimes such as embezzlement
• Drug-trafficking conspiracy to distribute heroin, marijuana, and other schedule I controlled substances
• Conspiracy to distribute cocaine and other schedule II drugs

A long-standing focus on Spanish-speaking clients

Our criminal defense practice focuses on preserving the rights of clients who find themselves in the criminal justice system. We have a unique focus on assisting Latino clients facing state and federal criminal charges in New York City and in Puerto Rico. Because language barriers may affect a defendant’s ability to understand the charges, it is critical that these clients have an attorney able to explain their options and their rights in their primary language.

Frank Ortiz has been representing members of New York’s Hispanic community since 1959. He is a skilled criminal defense attorney with both the legal and the language abilities to provide Spanish-speaking clients with the defense they need and deserve.
