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.

Hired Law firm 2025Omid S. Irani – Criminal Defense Attorney I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Omid’s representation. I came to him facing a very serious charge with everything on the line — my career, my reputation, and my future. As an executive, I knew that even one wrong turn in this process could have destroyed everything I’ve worked so hard to build. From the very beginning, Omid was open, honest, and straightforward with me. He didn’t sugarcoat things, but he also gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. On the day of my court appearance, I was overwhelmed with nerves. Right before going in, Omid explained to me what he had been able to negotiate with the prosecutor and judge — an outcome I honestly didn’t think was even possible. He essentially saved me from something that could have left a permanent stain on my record and my career. The result he achieved went far beyond what I expected. What stood out to me most was the way Omid treated me. He never made me feel like my case was “small” compared to others. He gave my situation the same care, respect, and attention as if it were the most important case on his desk. He was professional, sincere, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. Omid truly pulled off the impossible for me, and I walked out of court both relieved and in awe of his skill and dedication. He is not just a lawyer — he is an advocate who fights for his clients as if their future were his own. If you are looking for someone who combines expertise with genuine care, Omid is the attorney you want by your side. Without a doubt, he deserves more than 5 stars. - J.J. Harris

Hired Law firm 2022-2023I hired Laura and Omid to help me out with a Criminal Complaint and a TRO that I had against me from my ex-wife. Omid handled my case personally and worked tirelessly for me. He was with me every step of the way, gave me advice throughout and was realistic about what we can expect from the adversary and from the court. As soon as I hired him and for the following 3 months, he gave me peace of mind, as much as I could have it. In the end we had to go to trial. After 30 minutes of course examination with my ex-wife, the adversary threw in the towel. Omid poked so many holes in her testimony that nothing would float. Everything against me was dropped. I am beyond grateful and elated. Laura and Omid were so professional and caring. I felt like i was not a client to them, but a person that they were determined to help out of his unfortunate situation.

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.
