Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma’s Summary
Formerly an associate at a large law firm and a boutique white-collar defense firm, I practice criminal law in New York City. I represent clients who have been arrested or are under investigation for crimes ranging from securities and insurance fraud to drug possession, assault and conspiracy. I handle state and federal trials, appeals and post-conviction proceedings.
After law school, I clerked for a federal judge in the Southern District of New York for a year. I speak fluent Spanish. I am active in the New York City Bar Association (on federal sentencing issues) and am especially interested in cases involving violations of international human rights.
