About Usher Defense

Usher Defense is the criminal defense practice of Usher Law Group, P.C., a law firm in Brooklyn, New York. We defend people accused of crimes in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania and federal court.

Who we are

The firm is led by Mikhail Usher, its founding and managing attorney, who has more than 15 years in practice. He works with Alex Susi, Executive Senior Associate, and Mitchell Bromberg, Senior Associate. You can read about each of them on the attorneys page.

Many of the people who call us are not the person charged. They are a mother, a husband or a brother who just got a call from a jail. We take those calls the same way: we ask who was arrested and where, and we tell you what happens next.

How we work

  • You talk to a lawyer. Call and tell us who was arrested or contacted and where the case is.
  • We explain the next step in plain words, and what to do tonight.
  • We do not predict outcomes. A charge is an accusation, and every case turns on its own facts.
  • We quote our legal fees by phone and confirm them in writing before we begin.

Whatever has happened, the first advice is the same: do not talk to the police about the case until you have spoken to a lawyer. Treat every jail call as recorded, and do not post about the case.

Arrested, or think you might be? Call before you answer any questions.

Call and tell us who was arrested or contacted and where the case is. A lawyer will tell you what happens next and what to do tonight. Please do not type what happened into a form or an email. We will talk about it on the phone.
