Wrongful Conviction Lawyers in New York City
Turn to Our New York Lawyers if You are Under Investigation
One of the most unsettling occurrences in criminal law is the discovery that a person was convicted and sent to prison when he or she was actually innocent and/or was subjected to gross violations of their Constitutional rights. This is referred to as a "wrongful conviction."
Unfortunately, wrongful convictions occur more often than many people realize. Brooklyn has seen an ongoing crisis of such convictions, with many people being released from prison after spending years behind bars for crimes of which they never should have been convicted. In order to correct unjust convictions, many prosecutors' offices have created special mechanisms for reviewing claims of innocence and of convictions that have violated Constitutional rights.
If you believe that you or a loved one was wrongfully convicted, you can turn to the Law Office of Mark A. Bederow, P.C. for help. Mr. Bederow can thoroughly re-investigate your case in order to determine if your conviction should be overturned or vacated because of actual innocence, or because of gross deprivation of your Constitutional rights.

Testimonials

Mark Bederow came to the rescue on the worst day of my life. He represented me after a manic episode in 2016 during which I'd been violent. (At the time I was untreated and unmedicated for bipolar 1. I wrote a book about my very fortunate journey to acceptance and better health called BURN RATE: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, published 2022.) Under Mark's care, the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged. Forever grateful to Mark for shining light during the darkest days of my life. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding attorney, and it is a privilege that I was able to work with him. I feel lucky, and I wish Mark's services for anyone dealing with anything, including a mental health issue that becomes a criminal matter.- A.D.

We have dealt with many lawyers in the past several years and 99% of them want the most amount of money to do the least amount of work. Mark Bederow is not your typical lawyer. He’s the only lawyer I’ve ever met that actually listens to his client’s suggestions and utilizes their input, and if he doesn’t he explains why. I’ve never met a lawyer as intelligent, passionate about winning, and completely in his client’s corner. Mark Bederow is brilliant, he is a champion of justice, and his love for the law is evident as he relentlessly fights for his clients. He is definitely the best criminal lawyer in NYC, and quite possibly NY State.- A.F.
