Suffolk County Criminal Trial Lawyer Eric Naiburg

Hi, my name is Eric Naiburg and I have been practicing criminal law for forty two years. I consider myself not only a criminal attorney but a criminal trial attorney, and there is a difference.


Many, many attorneys hold themselves out as criminal defense attorneys and they are. But generally what they do is they go in to court and negotiate the case with the district attorney’s office, federal prosecutor or a judge, and come to some sort of plea bargain.

Very few of those attorneys who hold themselves out as criminal defense attorneys actually try cases. And unless you try a case, then you really can’t be a good negotiator but you always have to have that fallback, that ability to go into a courtroom, pick a jury, present witnesses, sum up to the jury, cross exam people’s witnesses and more than anything else, prepare for that trial. And of all the defense attorneys out there, I would say probably three to five percent actually get into a courtroom, pick a jury and try a case.

So if you should be unfortunate enough to be arrested and charged with a crime, my suggestion is that you do your homework, you look and find out which attorneys are those attorneys that walk into the courtroom just trying to settle a case or have a reputation as trial lawyers.
