Victor Knapp

I have more than 33 years of experience providing aggressive legal representation for the people of Queens and the New York City area. I have worked with thousands of adult and juvenile clients facing a wide variety of misdemeanor and felony charges, including complex and high-profile cases. Some of my legal achievements have received media coverage, such as my representation in the Howard Beach riot case, and have also been as cited as precedent-setting matters reported in legal journals and casebooks. I bring the same tenacity to every case I handle, taking a strategic approach to address each and every matter as comprehensively and effectively as possible. I understand that even the smallest criminal matter is critically important to my clients and their families, because during this difficult time, you deserve the support and compassion of an experienced criminal defense attorney who will work tirelessly to fight your charges and protect your rights. You can rest assured that whether your case gets negotiated, plea bargained, dismissed or proceeds to trial, that I will vigorously pursue the best possible outcome on your behalf. Whether you are in need of lawyer for drug charges, DWI or DUI, domestic violence, assault, weapons, robbery, homicide, white collar, violations of probation or parole or another charge, I am available 24 hours a day to help get your life back on track. I am a proud member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, NORML, the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, New York State Defenders Association, Queens County Bar Association and NORML Legal Committee.
