Andrew M. Stengel - Profile

During my tenure as an Assistant District Attorney in New York City, I gained valuable experience handling numerous criminal cases, delving into the intricacies of the New York criminal justice system. Transitioning to a role as a criminal defense lawyer, I came to understand that justice is not always guaranteed, especially when the accused is unaware of their rights, lacks comprehension of the legal procedures, and lacks effective representation. Departing from the New York County District Attorney’s office, I established The Law Firm of Andrew M. Stengel with a mission to provide adept, informed, and vigorous legal advocacy for individuals facing criminal charges in New York City, Nassau, Westchester, and neighboring regions. As a private criminal defense lawyer, I am dedicated to upholding the prosecution's burden of proof and safeguarding the rights of my clients, irrespective of the gravity of the allegations. The criminal justice system is intricate, daunting, and bewildering for many. Those unfamiliar with the legal process face significant disadvantages. Engaging a private defense attorney ensures comprehensive guidance, with a commitment to clarifying each stage and addressing any inquiries or apprehensions promptly.
