Grant & Longworth founding partner George N. Longworth recently served as commissioner of the Westchester County police for eight years. As the chief executive of the county police, Mr. Longworth developed an understanding of the New York criminal justice system that few others can match.
In particular, he appreciates the intricate dynamics between the police, district attorney’s office and court system. The role in which these interactions play in case outcomes cannot be overstated.

If you do not have an attorney, we are standing by. A call will put you in touch with Mr. Longworth himself or another experienced Westchester criminal defense attorney, not a switchboard or maze of support staff.
