If you’ve been arrested for the first time, you need a defense team that acts quickly and protects your record. We’ll step in immediately to assess the facts, communicate with prosecutors when appropriate, and fight to reduce or dismiss the charges, whether through negotiation or trial.
Your future doesn’t have to be defined by one mistake. We’ll help you make the right next move.
At The Fast Law Firm, we approach every case with the urgency and attention it deserves. We’re the law firm that slows down to get to know you. That begins with founder Elena Fast, whose leadership shapes how we defend our clients and how we treat them as individuals, not case numbers.
Elena is personally involved in building your defense from day one. She listens, evaluates the facts with care, and collaborates closely with our team to develop a strategy tailored to your goals. It’s a level of involvement you don’t often find in a city as fast-paced as New York, and it’s something our clients value.
We prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and take your case as seriously as you do. Prosecutors know when they’re up against a defense team that’s ready for trial. So do judges. If you’re ready to fight back, we’re prepared to help.
Not a rising star. The Star. I would say Elena has the magic to work deals but the truth is the Government knows she will litigate the issues. She is prepared to go to trial and unafraid to do so. Absolutely one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the nation to day.
