Richard Kaplan and Nina Marino have represented hundreds of people at Office Hearings. These hearings are held prior to the filing of formal charges, and are opportunities for us to resolve allegations without ever going to court or having any charges filed. In these matters, we regularly avoid criminal charges and have the arrest removed from our clients’ records.

Confidentiality and discretion are top priorities for the attorneys at KAPLAN MARINO. We know that any contact with the criminal justice system can have collateral consequences. Unlike some firms, we do not seek out the media or attention. We provide each of our clients with a strategic style of aggressive and thorough representation.
