Tried in the courthouses of New York. Trusted by the people who walk into them.

No matter what your specific needs may be, Ms. Edward is here to answer your questions, address your concerns, and fight hard to secure you the best possible outcome.
Counsel that prepares as if every case will be tried.
Adrienne D. Edward has spent her career inside the courthouses of New York City — from Foley Square to Cadman Plaza, from Manhattan Criminal Court to Queens Supreme. That depth of experience means clients receive counsel who understands not only the law but also the people, the politics, and the practical realities of each forum where their case will be heard.
When you retain the firm, you are retaining her. The lawyer who answers your call is the lawyer who will appear in court on your behalf, review every line of discovery, and stand beside you at sentencing.
Four practices. One standard of preparation.
The firm represents clients in the matters where the consequences are greatest — criminal defense, family law, immigration, and personal injury.
Disciplined defense. Decisive outcomes.
Personal counsel from first call to final disposition.
We do not pass clients between associates. The lawyer who answers your call is the lawyer who appears in court — every appearance, every conference, every motion.
Exhaustive preparation, line-by-line discovery review.
We treat every case as if it will be tried. That preparation creates leverage, and leverage produces results — whether the outcome is dismissal, acquittal, or a negotiated disposition.
Strategic intervention before charges are filed.
The most consequential decisions in many federal cases are made before indictment. Early engagement with prosecutors can prevent charges from ever materializing.
Sentencing advocacy that humanizes the client.
When conviction is unavoidable, sentencing becomes the most important phase of the case. We construct presentations that produce variances and protect futures.
United States Courthouse, Foley Square
"Adrienne treated my case as though her own freedom were on the line. She returned every call, explained every option, and ultimately secured a dismissal I did not believe was possible."
"I came to her firm after a less prepared lawyer had already failed me. She rebuilt the defense from the foundation up and walked into court with a command of the record that visibly changed the prosecutor's posture."
"The professionalism of her firm is on a level I have not encountered elsewhere. The outcome of my case allowed me to keep my career and my license."
Two states. Every courthouse that matters.
The firm maintains offices in New York and New Jersey, with regular appearances in federal and state courts throughout the region.
