Nassau is the 12th richest county in America and the wealthiest in the State of New York. The top five nationalities that make up the county are 23% Italian, 14% Irish, 7% German, 5% American and 4% Polish. Jewish people represent about 17.2% of the population (compared to 2% of total U.S. population).

According to data by the FBI, the crime rate in Nassau is average for all American cities and towns. Within New York, it is lower than approximately 26% of the communities. However, due to the county’s recent plan to merge police stations in order to save money, major crimes have increased in 2013. Communities are not getting the attention from police that they used to receive. For example, grand larceny and burglary are up in the areas of Great Neck, and Roslyn.

If you live in Nassau County, it is important to know that your police department takes on the unusual practice of posting the mug shots of DWI (driving under the influence) offenders as press releases on their website.

Ms. Lavy was in close contact while preparing to present our case. The motions she filed on my behalf couldn't have been more thorough while leveraging her relationships with local DA and justice contacts to ensure a smooth process in the courtroom.
