Criminal Defense Attorneys in Upstate New York

When you’ve been accused of a crime, your freedom, your reputation, and your future are on the line. At Ianniello Anderson, P.C., our experienced criminal defense attorneys serve clients across Eastern Upstate New York, fighting to ensure that your side of the story is heard and your rights are protected.

We don’t pressure clients into taking quick plea deals. Instead, we focus on building a strong, fact-based defense designed to challenge the state’s case and seek the best possible outcome—whether through dismissal, negotiation, or trial.

A Strategic and Thorough Defense Approach

From the moment we take your case, we work with you to reconstruct the full context of the incident. Every detail matters—where you were, what time it was, who else was present, and what led up to the arrest. Often, small pieces of overlooked information can lead to key witnesses or evidence that supports your defense.

Our attorneys then analyze the specific elements of the charges brought against you. Because the prosecution must prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt, we focus on introducing doubt wherever possible—particularly around issues of intent, identity, or the reliability of the evidence.

For example, if you’ve been charged with assault, the prosecution must show that you both intended to cause injury and succeeded in causing that injury. If we can show that there was no intent—or that no qualifying injury occurred—your case could be significantly weakened or dismissed.

Former Prosecutors Fighting for You

Our criminal defense team includes attorneys who previously served as lead prosecutors. This insider experience gives us a deep understanding of how the state builds its case—and how to counter it. We’re familiar with the procedures, expectations, and unwritten rules of courts across the Capital Region, and we use that knowledge to craft informed, strategic defenses for our clients.
