Epstein & Conroy, P.C.

Focus and the charges it defends

Criminal defense is the whole of the firm's work, and every practice area on the site falls inside it. The firm works from an office in downtown Brooklyn and takes both misdemeanor and felony cases, up to the most serious counts. Gary R. Conroy is the attorney named on the attorneys page.

The charge list published on the site runs long. Murder defense covers attempted murder, manslaughter, self-defense claims, and first and second degree murder. Violent crime work includes assault, kidnapping, arson, robbery, burglary, and weapons possession. In my opinion that breadth points to a firm set up for the high-stakes end of the criminal docket, where a conviction can carry years in prison.

Other categories fill out the rest of the list. The firm handles sex crimes, among them sexual assault, offences against children, and matters tied to sex offender registration. It defends DUI and DWI charges. Drug cases cover prescription medications, marijuana possession, and intent to sell. Domestic violence and white collar matters such as tax evasion, embezzlement, and cybercrime complete the named areas.

Work before charges are filed

Some of the firm's listed work begins before a case is even charged. Its site names police investigations, surrenders, arrests, warrants, and summonses as matters it takes on. That early stage carries weight, since what a person says or does during an investigation can shape everything that follows.

Courts and the area it covers

The firm appears in both state and federal courts, and it does so in two states. The site says its attorneys practice in the state and federal courts of New York and New Jersey. That dual footing matters, since federal criminal procedure differs from state court procedure in charging, evidence, and sentencing. A firm comfortable in both systems can stay with a client whether a case is brought by a county district attorney or by a United States Attorney's office.

The client base is drawn from New York City and out along Long Island. The site names Nassau and Suffolk Counties alongside the five boroughs. A defendant charged in one borough and living in Suffolk County deals with courts and prosecutors that vary by county, and a firm already working across those lines knows the local ground. For a Brooklyn office, that reach covers a large share of the region's criminal courts.

How the team is presented

The attorneys page lists one lawyer by name, Gary R. Conroy, with the title Attorney. The site does not publish a bio, law school, or admission year for him, so a reader gets the name and the role from the page. As a reviewer, I take the single listing as the name the firm puts forward, while the combined-experience figure hints at more hands behind the work.

The firm does put a number on its experience. It states more than 45 years of combined experience representing criminal defendants. That figure points to work by more than one person over time. The firm was founded in 1995 under the name the Law Office of Epstein & Conroy, and the current name Epstein & Conroy, P.C. runs across its pages today. That gives it roughly three decades of history as of 2026.

How these cases tend to move through the courts

The categories the firm names carry different procedures, and a short map of a few shows what a defendant tends to face. This is general background on how such matters proceed in New York and federal courts, offered so a reader can picture the road a case travels.

Impaired driving stops

Chemical testing sits at the center of most of these files. A DWI case in New York often starts with a roadside stop and a breath or blood test, then moves to arraignment, where a judge sets the terms of release. The case can turn on motions about the basis for the stop and the way the sample was taken and stored. Early defense work reads the stop and the test procedure closely, since both can decide what evidence a jury ever hears.

Felony charges and the grand jury

The most serious counts run through a grand jury first. Murder and other high-level felonies in New York are usually presented to a grand jury, which decides whether an indictment issues. After that come arraignment, disclosure of the state's evidence, and pretrial motions that can narrow the charges. Assault, robbery, burglary, arson, and weapons counts each carry their own elements the state has to prove, and the defense work fixes on where that proof is thin.

Federal white collar files

These cases often begin long before an arrest. Many start with an agency investigation, sometimes with grand jury subpoenas for records months ahead of any charge. Tax evasion, embezzlement, and cybercrime files tend to turn on documents and financial trails, so the defense centers on those records and on the government's theory of intent. In my opinion, a firm that lists both street-level charges and this kind of federal exposure is presenting a wide span of criminal work under one roof.

Charges that follow a person after sentencing

Registration is the reason. On conviction for certain sex offences, a defendant can be placed on a sex offender registry, and the firm lists sex offender registration as its own line of work. That puts the criminal charge and its long collateral effects on the same person at once. Domestic violence matters can carry similar knock-on effects, among them orders of protection that touch where a person can live and go.

What the record shows

The public record here is the firm's own site, and it gives a consistent set of facts. The name Epstein & Conroy, P.C. appears across the home, about, attorneys, and contact pages. The founding year of 1995 and the more than 45 years of combined experience both come from the firm's own account of itself.

The firm's presence extends to a few social profiles. Its structured data points to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter pages under the firm's name. Those accounts sit alongside the main site as places the firm has claimed, and the substance a prospective client needs stays on the website itself.

What the site confirms is a Brooklyn criminal defense firm, active in New York and New Jersey courts, with one named attorney and a wide list of charge types it defends. The pages set out those charges in detail and describe the firm's reach across the city and Long Island. The firm has kept the same name and the same criminal focus since 1995.
