When You Need a Fighter,

Call Vinoo

As one of the nation’s top white collar and criminal defense attorneys, former prosecutor Vinoo Varghese takes on trials and appeals other lawyers won’t – and wins. Yet, he prides himself on the fact that he has repeatedly convinced prosecutors to end cases against his clients without charges or gaining public attention, allowing those he defends to resume their lives.

  • Varghese is a visiting faculty member at Harvard Law School’s Trial Advocacy Workshop.
  • The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 list has included Varghese for nine consecutive years
  • He is ranked as a New York Metro Super Lawyer for the past eight years
  • Vinoo has obtained the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating for six straight years.
  • Earlier in Varghese’s career, the New York Law Journal recognized him as a Rising Star.
Varghese & Associates, P.C. BBB Business Review

The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Law Journal, and Law360 have quoted Varghese for his vigorous advocacy of clients. In addition, he has published op-eds highlighting prosecutorial dilemmas with O.J. Simpson, George Floyd, and the Central Park “Karen.” In an op-ed published on March 21, 2020, Varghese challenged then Governor Cuomo’s failure, in his initial lockdown order, to include criminal defense attorneys as “essential workers.” The next day New York State designated criminal defense lawyers were deemed “essential.”

Varghese is a regular guest commentator on domestic networks ranging from FOX to CBS to CNN, and international ones from BBC to i24 Israel to Sky News Arabia. Vanity Fair invited him to fact check Hollywood scenes from The Wolf of Wall Street to Billions.

Experience and knowledge

To be an aggressive New York City criminal law lawyer, you’ve got to be certain that you have the knowledge and experience to back up your attitude.

That’s exactly what we have here at Varghese & Associates.

Vinoo’s legal career started as a prosecutor – so we know exactly what happens when state courts are putting a case together. On top of that, Vinoo has been representing clients in state and federal courts since 2006 – so we know how the legal system works – and we know how to formulate a defense that will make sure protect your rights, liberties, and freedom.

Highly visible

It’s one thing reading about NYC criminal lawyers online – but how certain are you that their firm is good enough to win your case and keep you out of prison when you’re accused of a crime?

The answer is simple; you can’t. So, if you want to be sure that you’re putting your faith in the right NYC criminal defense lawyer, you need someone at the heart of an NYC criminal defense firm that’s not afraid to be scrutinised by the toughest prosecutors and by the national press on live TV.

That’s Vinoo Varghese.
