I represented a widely reported figure, the reputed leader of a Haitian paramilitary group, in a mortgage fraud case in the New York State Supreme Court in Suffolk County. He faced a sentence of up to 25 years in state prison. The case received television and press coverage, including a three-page article in the New York Times in which I was quoted. I successfully opposed a one million dollar bail application by the prosecution, and after months of litigation I negotiated a disposition to the least state sentence available under the law.
