The Quiet Victories

Despite a long list of popularized trials and achievements, when asked what he is most proud of, criminal defense attorney Adam G. Gasner says it's the list of his "quiet dispositions."

These are the "cases that never make the headlines and where no one knows I am the lawyer — the hundreds of cases where careers, families, and reputations were on the line and I was able to negotiate results that saved jobs, kept families together, and protected against a lifetime of shame."

This philosophy drives every case at Gasner Criminal Law: protecting not just your legal rights, but your life, career, and family from the devastating consequences that can follow criminal charges.
