Anthony M. Defazio | Beacon Criminal Lawyer

DeFazio & Zeidan LLP. is unusual because we have both a city presence, as well as our home offices in Beacon, near Poughkeepsie. We believe we combine the effectiveness and intensity of New York City attorneys, with the approachability of an upstate firm.

Anthony DeFazio is a trial lawyer at heart, focusing on personal injury lawsuits, civil litigation and criminal defense. Raji Zeidan also does criminal defense and personal injury work. As a Jordanian-American, Raji enjoys the trust of the region's Arabic-speaking community.

We enjoy the challenges of the law, and we take our responsibilities as your advocate with great seriousness. Protecting your rights forms the backbone of our practice. We believe our combination of big-city experience and small-city personalized attention sets us apart from most firms.
