About

Larry Krantz is a former federal prosecutor with decades of first chair trial and appellate litigation experience. Forbes called him “among the most eminent attorneys in New York’s criminal bar,” describing his cross-examination of a star government witness as “hitting it off the façade of the New York Stock Exchange.” Larry represents individuals and businesses in complex commercial litigation, white-collar criminal matters, and regulatory matters (including SEC and FINRA cases). He has successfully tried over 25 cases before juries, judges and arbitration panels, and has successfully argued over 25 appeals in federal and New York State appellate courts — including the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the New York Court of Appeals.
