I am representing a client in  two civil litigations stemming from a flawed securities transaction. This same client is a defendant in a criminal proceeding in the SDNY, stemming from the same securities transaction. I had represented him for awhile, but I got disqualified by the Judge who determined that my representation in the civil cases created a non-waivable conflict. My client now needs a new criminal attorney.

Because of the criminal case, my client is restrained from operating in his usual profession (investment advisory). He has obtained a job, but his income is severely lessened. He can pay an attorney, but he is not flush.

I am handling his civil cases on a standard contingency split. We've also agreed that I could  accrue an hourly fee for any work that I do for his criminal case, but it would be paid only from any recovery achieved in the civil cases.

We are looking for someone knowledgeable of criminal practice in the SDNY. My client would pay your usual fee, but we are hopeful that you would be willing to let me be a laboring oar, so that the number of hours that you'd need to bill for would be reduced. I am not a criminal attorney. But I am a proficient litigator. So to the extent there is an overlapping of skillsets, hopefully I could be of aide.

It's a very interesting case, and my client is innocent. He is being railroaded, and he really needs help.

Please respond with your resume and fee structure.
