About Saul Bienenfeld
A former Manhattan prosecutor who now fights for the accused, with the same relentless energy he once used to convict them.
Saul Bienenfeld graduated from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and began his legal career at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, where he served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Special Narcotics Bureau. During those formative years, he prosecuted some of New York's most complex narcotics cases, earning a remarkable 98% conviction rate, a record that reflected not just his skill in the courtroom, but a deep, granular understanding of how criminal prosecutions are assembled, argued, and won.
"Every client, innocent or guilty, deserves the absolute best defense they can get. That is not a choice. It's a right."
After leaving the DA's office, Saul made the deliberate choice to cross the aisle. He understood that the same expertise that made him an effective prosecutor made him uniquely equipped to dismantle prosecutions on behalf of defendants. For over 20 years, he has done exactly that, representing clients in state and federal courts across New York City in cases ranging from drug possession to complex white collar fraud.
What sets Saul apart is the honesty he brings to every client relationship. He does not sugarcoat. He does not make promises he cannot keep. When you sit across the table from Saul, you get a clear, unvarnished assessment of where you stand and what your options are, because in his experience, an informed client is the most effective defendant. His role is not just to argue in your favor, but to ensure you fully understand the legal terrain you're navigating.
Professional History
How Saul Works
Having spent years on the other side, Saul knows how prosecutors think, what evidence they rely on, and where their cases are vulnerable. He uses this knowledge to build defenses that attack those weak points directly.
Saul believes you deserve to know the truth about your case, the risks, the realistic outcomes, and your best options. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear. He tells you what you need to know, then gets to work.
Saul's experience has taught him that clients who understand their situation make better decisions. He takes time to walk every client through the process, the stakes, and the strategy, because when you understand the game, you play it better.
Regardless of the charge or the circumstances, Saul gives every client the same relentless representation. He believes every person, regardless of guilt or innocence, deserves the strongest defense the law allows.
