Defense Against Alleged Illegal Subcontracting

This case study outlines how our legal team successfully defended a New York construction company owner accused of unauthorized subcontracting during a major project. The client had delegated part of the contracted work to a third-party company, but the primary contractor later claimed that no formal written approval had been provided—leading regulators to allege improper subcontracting under New York construction and commercial laws. Because unauthorized subcontracting can trigger severe penalties, business disruptions, and even criminal referrals, the client urgently sought legal assistance to protect ongoing operations.Our attorneys quickly identified that the core issue involved evaluating whether practical authorization existed, even if the written format was disputed. The client emphasized that pre-construction discussions occurred, a direct-payment guarantee had been issued, and subcontractor qualifications were jointly reviewed. Nonetheless, regulatory authorities treated the conduct as unauthorized subcontracting and referred the matter for police investigation.Facing the risk of a full project shutdown, the client relied on our construction-law and criminal-defense team to demonstrate that this subcontracting dispute stemmed from a procedural misunderstanding rather than an intentional violation.

Punishment for Threats Noise Dispute Strategic Defense

In New York, punishment for threats can arise even from everyday neighbor disputes, particularly when tense interactions are misinterpreted as criminal intimidation. The following case study illustrates how a resident facing severe stress from an ongoing noise conflict became the subject of a criminal complaint and how a structured defense demonstrated the absence of criminal intent. This matter highlights how misunderstanding, emotional expression, and environmental pressures can lead to wrongful allegations, and how legal strategy can prevent unjust consequences. Despite the seriousness of punishment for threatsunder New York Penal Law §240.25 (Harassment) and §240.30 (Aggravated Harassment), not every heated remark constitutes a true threat. The defense in this case focused on context, intent, evidentiary support, and legal standards, ultimately preventing criminal charges.
