Partner Isabelle A. Kirshner and associate Eliel A. Talo secured the full dismissal by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office of felony assault charges filed against a world-renowned chef.

Through careful analysis of hours of surveillance footage, Kirshner and Talo surfaced evidence that the complaining witness had lied to the police. As a result, the Manhattan D.A. agreed it could not meet its burden of proof and dismissed the case.

Kirshner is one of New York’s leading criminal defense attorneys. She has more than 30 years of experience defending individuals and organizations in a wide range of matters, including investigations and prosecutions related to securities fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, tax fraud and allegations of sexual misconduct.

Talo focuses his practice on civil and criminal matters in both state and federal court, including bank fraud, criminal appeals, judgment enforcement, employment disputes and allegations of sexual misconduct.
