High Profile Cases

Chuck Ross has been recognized as a New York City metropolitan area Super Lawyer and is rated “AV” by his peers in the influential Martindale-Hubbell legal directory — the highest rating given.

Chuck Ross has been involved in many high-profile matters. However, the attorneys of Charles A. Ross & Associates recognize that criminal cases require extraordinary sensitivity. For this reason, we operate on a “need to know” basis only, and do not discuss matters outside our close-knit team. This extremely discrete approach, combined with our “walk through walls” devotion to our clients, has often yielded favorable outcomes that have never become public knowledge.

Because even those matters that have gained public attention remain sensitive for those who entrust us with their lives, we do not publish the names of our clients and undertake extraordinary efforts to avoid publicity altogether. However, at times publicity is inevitable. In those instances, we protect our client’s trust in us by our commitment, dedication, and sensitivity to guide them through the potential glare of public scrutiny.

What follows is a representative sampling of notable matters that have received public attention.
