Charged with a crime in Brooklyn? The Fast Law Firm, P.C., defends clients 24/7 in state and federal court. Confidential consultations. No judgment—just results.
Being charged with a crime in Brooklyn doesn’t mean your future is decided. You still have rights, and you deserve a defense that focuses on protecting them. The process can feel unfamiliar, but with the proper guidance, you can face it with confidence.
At The Fast Law Firm, P.C., we defend clients in both state and federal courtrooms across Brooklyn. We take the time to explain the process, answer your questions, and build a defense that reflects your goals. With us by your side, you’ll have a team committed to protecting your freedom and your future.
Brooklyn’s courts are some of the busiest in the country. Judges handle high caseloads, prosecutors move cases quickly, and local procedures often differ from what you’ll find in other boroughs. Having a defense attorney who knows how arraignments are scheduled, how bail is argued, and how plea deals are handled in Kings County can shape the outcome of your case. That local insight, combined with trial readiness, is what sets us apart.
If you’re arrested in Brooklyn, your case will likely begin in Kings County Criminal Court, where arraignments take place every day of the week. More serious charges may move to the Supreme Court, Kings County, while federal cases are prosecuted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Each court has its own rules, timelines, and procedures, which means your defense needs to be built with those specific realities in mind.
At The Fast Law Firm, we defend clients at every stage of this process. Whether you’ve been falsely accused or you’ve made a mistake, we understand what’s on the line: your freedom, your reputation, and your future.
Our firm defends clients accused of a wide range of criminal offenses. We know what’s at stake—your freedom, reputation, and record—and we act fast to build a strong defense.
Federal charges carry serious penalties and are prosecuted aggressively. We defend clients facing:
Federal courts follow strict sentencing guidelines, which makes early intervention and strong advocacy even more important.
Brooklyn prosecutors handle thousands of cases every year, but the outcome of yours will depend on the defense you put forward. We represent clients charged with:
Knowing how local judges view bail, plea deals, and sentencing gives us insight that can directly benefit your case.
Accusations of sex crimes alone can damage your career, your relationships, and your standing in the community. We provide strategic defense for those accused of:
We work to challenge unreliable evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and ensure your rights are fully protected.
For many clients, an arrest is their first encounter with the criminal justice system. We guide you through every step, explain your options, and look for ways to protect your record. Alternatives may include diversion programs, reduced sentencing, or record sealing. Our goal is to limit the long-term impact on your life and career.
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.
Understanding the process can reduce some of the uncertainty you may feel:
Every decision you make during this process matters. Having a defense team with Brooklyn-specific experience can make the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
If you’ve been arrested or are under investigation in Brooklyn, don’t wait. Every minute counts. Call The Fast Law Firm today for a confidential consultation. We are ready to fight for you in Kings County Criminal Court, Brooklyn Supreme Court, and the federal court in the Eastern District of New York.
