Attorney Abe George: Fighting Against Wrongful Convictions
Prominent New York Defense Attorney Uncovers New Evidence
Thousands of individuals are wrongly convicted of crimes each year in the United States, and approximately 1 in 25 sentenced to death are innocent of the crimes allegedly committed. With the staggering number of individuals unfairly convicted in the US, Abe George, a prominent criminal defense attorney located in New York City, works to exonerate those who have been unjustly condemned for a crime they did not commit. Abe has over ten years experience navigating the legal world and utilizes his expertise to aid individuals who have been violated and denied fundamental civil rights. Having over ten years experience in criminal investigation and legal prosecution, Abe believes that the law should work to protect citizens and not villainize them.
The last few years have seen the highest number of exonerations in US history, with intense media coverage on the subject. According to experts, the high rate of exonerations is largely due to states hiring specialized review units that are aimed at taking a second look at cases that have received questionable convictions. The review units designate resources for violent and nonviolent crimes and exonerated over 225 cases in 2016 alone. In fact, according to the National Registry of Exonerations, over 127 exonerations have taken place over the past year, and the list continues to grow. However, unlike certain districts, an area such as Brooklyn does not have units devoted to wrongful investigations.
Abe has sought to re-open high profile cases by presenting prosecutors with disputed police reports, videotapes, confessions, and withheld evidence all in an attempt to prove the accused innocence. Abe George has presented the DA with substantial evidence in respect to the Foster Thompson case, a man who has wrongfully spent over 20 years behind bars as Abe and his team have gathered evidence of prosecutorial misconduct. Abe works for ordinary citizens who are unable to defend themselves and has won numerous cases for individuals denied their freedom.
Abe George combines both passion and experience to help those who have been wrongly convicted find justice.
As a defense lawyer, Abe has the ability to help individuals who do not have the ability or the resources to fight for themselves. A great lawyer knows the law and is also willing to put his time and energy on the line to go above and beyond for their clients. Abe George runs his private practice in New York City, where he continues to help others find the justice they are worthy of.
