Some attorneys focus their practices on quantity, taking every case that comes there way. Mr. Bachrach refuses to do that. Instead, based upon Mr. Bachrach's skill and success, his practice is selective and his clients know that if he takes their case then they will receive the quality, detail, and attention that they deserve.
Mr. Bachrach's cases have included:
- Three Federal death penalty trials, including most recently defeating a death penalty prosecution in an insurance fraud/murder-fore-hire trial where the defendants had been accused of ordering the murder of at least four innocent victims (two in New York and two in Guyana, South America) in an effort to receive the proceeds of insurance policies taken out on the lives of the victims. Mr. Bachrach, along with his co-counsel and co-defendant's counsel, convinced the jury to spare the lives of the defendants, despite the Government's all-out attempts to execute them.
- Representing escrow agent accused of misappropriating approximately $200,000,000 in funds.
- Representing stock and bond traders accused in "pump and dump" and "boiler room" schemes.
- Representing high ranking members of organized crime families (what the Government refers to as La Cosa Nostra or the Mafia), in cases involving murder, gambling, money laundering, and both State and Federal racketeering conspiracies.
- Representing members of international drug cartels, as well as narcotics trafficking conspiracies stretching throughout New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida and points in between.
- Representing one of the "million dollar madams" accused of running prostitution rings throughout New York City, as well as smaller cases involving lower level members of those rings.
- Representing a world renowned hip hop mogal, his entertainment and his clothing companies in various civil and administrative proceedings defeating nearly $1,000,000 in fines and civil penalties.
- Representing rap and hip hop artists in various criminal cases throughout New York City and Westchester.
- In habeas corpus cases, gaining releases or new trials for inmates whose prior attorneys had provided them ineffective assistance of counsel.
- Proving a defendant actually innocent who had served nearly 10 years in jail for a murder he did not commit.
- Convincing a court to throw out case against a blind ex-con who the District Attorney's Office had been attempting to maliciously prosecute for over 16-years.
