Prior to starting the firm, founding member Jeremy Saland served for several years as an Assistant District Attorney under the iconic Robert Morgenthau in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for seven years. After leaving the New York County District Attorney's Office and prior to starting Saland Law in 2008, Jeremy continued working part time as a local prosecutor in a Westchester municipality for six years before dedicating his time solely to the defense of the accused.

Having a similar background, Samuel "Sam" Coe, served as an Assistant District Attorney for more than four years in Manhattan under the highly regarded District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. before starting his own law practice focusing on New York and Federal criminal defense, criminal appeals, and family law. Now, as counsel to the firm, Sam utilizes those same trial skills and relentless advocacy to the benefit of Saland Law's clients whether he finds himself in New York City or one of many Justice Courts throughout Westchester and Rockland counties.

Peter Katz, counsel to Saland Law and a former partner of the firm, brings an unparalleled wealth of experience to the practice of criminal defense in both New York State and Federal courts. With more than 25 years practicing law on both sides of the criminal justice system, Peter served as Manhattan prosecutor before joining the ranks of the Department of Justice and US Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York, District of New Jersey and Main Justice. As a criminal defense attorney representing Saland Law’s clients in both New York and New Jersey State Courts as well as the Federal Courts including the Eastern District of New York, Southern District of New York, District of New Jersey, our clients would be hard pressed to find a more skilled trial attorney and experienced advocate.

Although not a criminal defense attorney, Robert “Rob” Maher, focuses his legal practice on immigration law. Routinely intertwined with and directly relevant to a prosecution, whether you are a legal resident or have any type of visa including an H1B or F1, Rob has advised countless clients as to their potential immigration issues stemming from their arrests, plea offers, and convictions should a dismissal or non-criminal disposition be unattainable. Allowing our clients to enter plea negotiations with their eyes “wide open” or to determine the trajectory of their case as early as possible, the benefit of identifying and addressing collateral immigration issues is an asset for clients in need of such guidance.
