Saul Bienenfeld has spent over three decades in the heart of New York’s criminal courts—first as a prosecutor with an impressive conviction rate, and for the past 30+ years as the attorney people turn to when they find themselves in the toughest of situations.
Ask him about his profession, and you won’t get any complicated legal jargon. “I defend people when everything is at stake,” he says. “I don’t promise miracles. I offer clear, honest counsel.”
Seeing Both Sides of the Law
Bienenfeld never set out to become a defense attorney. After graduating from Cardozo Law, he joined the city’s Special Narcotics Bureau, working to dismantle drug operations and push cases to trial. He was successful: a 98% conviction rate earned him respect within the DA’s office—and gave him a first-hand understanding of the system’s blind spots.
“Back then, my job was to convict. Now my job is to ensure my clients aren’t taken advantage of,” he says. “I understand how a prosecutor thinks, because I was one. I know what cops are trained to say. And I’ve seen how quickly someone’s future can change if they don’t remain silent and get a lawyer.”
Not for the Faint of Heart
Most of Bienenfeld’s clients don’t want to discuss why they called him. More than half of his work involves defending those accused of sex crimes—the kind of accusations that can destroy reputations before anyone even steps into a courtroom.
“People often assume that all accused individuals are guilty. They aren’t interested in hearing about false accusations or overcharged cases. But I am. It’s my role to stand between a scared defendant and a system that doesn’t always consider innocence as a priority.”
Along with sex crimes, Bienenfeld also takes on select federal cases, white-collar charges, and serious felonies. His approach is consistent across all cases: act quickly, examine every detail, and never make commitments that can’t be kept.
What He Wants You to Know
If you ask Bienenfeld for legal advice, it will most likely begin with: Don’t talk. Whether it’s a traffic stop, an airport search, or a detective knocking at your door, the fewer words you say, the better your chances.
He’s straightforward about it:
“People often believe their rights will protect them. In reality, it’s up to me to protect them—if you give me the chance.”
