He was "immortalized" in the famous Wu Tang song "Knuckleheadz".
Mr. Diamond is probably the only attorney on Staten Island to have won a death penalty trial along with acquittals in homicides and racketeering and drugs cases in New York, Florida, New Jersey and numerous other States and Federal jurisdictions. He has represented clients on divorces involving multi-million dollar equitable distributions as well as international custody battles

Be sure when choosing an attorney that you inquire as to whether they have not only handled a case like yours but have tried a case like yours and have had acquittals on a trial of a case like yours. In order to negotiate the best plea possible, the lawyers track record at trial is one of the most important factors in negotiation for any plea.
There is no charge for consultations but the only requirement is that it be done by an appointment and personal face-to-face consultation.
