Verified ClientHired Attorney Omid S. Irani 2026From recent first-hand experience, the New Jersey legal system can be incredibly tenuous, unfair, illogical, and frustrating. While he would never characterize this bureaucracy as such, Omid Irani will go the extra mile, above and beyond expectations, to navigate through the quagmire. He is incredibly organized and thorough and when unexpected curve balls inevitably arise, he takes the time to correct course . . .a true professional and, more importantly, a solid person.

Verified ClientConsulted Attorney Omid S. Irani 2025I wanted to pay him to represent me as a victim in a case, but he explained that it wasn't necessary. Although he could have charged me, he preferred to give me the correct guidance without charging me.

Firm Information
Overview
Serving Northern New Jersey and New York City
Many people who are arrested for a crime are unfamiliar with the criminal justice system and worry about the penalties they may be facing. An arrest for a criminal charge can seriously impact your life, family and job. If you are an immigrant, a criminal charge can affect your immigration status and could lead to deportation.
At Sutnick & Sutnick Attorneys at Law, our Hackensack criminal defense lawyers are dedicated to helping adults and juveniles throughout northern New Jersey and the New York City area minimize the consequences of criminal charges. Laura Sutnick and Warren Sutnick each have more than 30 years of legal experience, including time spent working for the Kings County District Attorney's office in Brooklyn. Their experience as former prosecutors is of great value to clients, because it allows them to anticipate arguments prosecutors will use and counter those arguments effectively. Omid Irani is a former New Jersey Superior Court judicial law clerk who is able to determine the most effective way to proceed with a criminal matter.
Seeking the Best Possible Outcome
At Sutnick & Sutnick Attorneys at Law, we carefully analyze the law and facts of every case. We take time to talk with you about the effect of a criminal charge on your life, family and job. Together, we develop a strategy that helps you achieve the results that are best for you.
That strategy may include fighting the allegations at trial. If the case against you is truly strong, a plea deal may be beneficial. Whether you are charged with DUI/DWI, a sex crime, a drug offense or any other type of crime, you can rely on us to assess the situation and take action to prevent harsh consequences.
Municipal Courts, State Courts, Federal Courts and the Juvenile System
Our attorneys have experience in all the different court systems in New Jersey and New York. From offices in Hackensack and the Bronx, we handle everything from federal drug charges to traffic violations to juvenile proceedings. We do everything we can to have the charges dismissed, and when that is not realistic, we develop intelligent trial strategies designed to protect our clients' rights in court, whether adult or juvenile.
Whether this is your first experience with the criminal justice system or you are a repeat offender, we are here to protect your rights. We are ready to meet with you to have an open, honest conversation about your situation and let you know what options are available. Your initial consultation is free, so it costs you nothing to find out how we can help.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
