Law Office of James A. Schiff

The Law Office of James A. Schiff operates where criminal defense meets practical advocacy. Against the hushed backdrop of Fifth Avenue’s towering architecture, this practice sits above the city’s pulse on the 17th floor of 521 5th Ave in Midtown. Charges and indictments aren’t abstract here; each case is heard with a clear plan and fewer surprises.

Between arraignments and bail hearings, the firm’s work favors motion practice and plea negotiation over drawn-out litigation whenever possible. Federal and state courtrooms across the boroughs see its filings, from drug offenses to white-collar matters. Clients receive budget-bound fee estimates early—no hourly math left unspoken. Technical violations and probation issues also land on the docket when prior resolutions need mending.
