If you’ve been arrested in Manhattan or are under investigation, The Fast Law Firm, P.C. delivers relentless defense for those facing criminal charges. Whether you’re dealing with a serious federal indictment or your first brush with the law, our team is ready to fight for your future. We defend clients in both state and federal courts throughout New York City, with a reputation for strategic, results-driven representation.
Every borough in New York has its own court system and procedures, and Manhattan is among the busiest. Prosecutors in New York County handle thousands of cases each year, from desk appearance tickets to high-profile felony trials. How your case is treated often depends on the charge, your record, and whether your attorney intervenes early.
Judges and prosecutors in Manhattan have limited time and resources, which makes preparation and early representation critical. A prompt, well-built defense can lead to reduced charges, favorable plea deals, or even dismissal.
At The Fast Law Firm, we defend clients accused of a wide range of crimes, including:
We also help first-time offenders pursue diversion programs, plea bargains, and record-preserving outcomes whenever possible.
In Manhattan, the difference between a quick resolution and a long, damaging case often comes down to timing. Acting early allows your criminal defense attorney to:
Without an attorney present, statements you make, even casually, can harm your defense later. Early representation helps you control the narrative and avoid mistakes that can’t be undone.
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.
