Criminal Defense Cases

hands in cuffs

The Law Offices of Adam M. Thompson, P.C. provides full service criminal defense representation to individuals throughout the United States, with our primary areas of representation being New York and New Jersey. Our trial record is excellent — our firm has one of the highest win percentages in the country.

Mr. Thompson takes pride in exploring every legal avenue available to defend his clients. This creative mindset has allowed him to pioneer a ground-breaking legal argument during an appeal in order to reduce an assault charge down to a violation and succeed in having a murder case made infamous by America's Most Wanted dismissed at trial through cross-examination of the witness.
