In May of 2016 while visiting NYC for work I was transporting my firearm in a locked TSA approved case. This unbeknownst to me, is not legal in the state of New York. I knew that my state, which my gun permit was issued in, was not in agreement with the state of NY so the firearm never came out of its locked case. When my work in NYC was done I was set to fly out of LaGuardia airport so as I check my bags with the ticket agent I declared that I needed to check my firearm that was locked in its TSA approved case, I had gone this countless time before as I travel for work. The ticket agent walked away for a moment and made a phone call. I assumed he was looking for the declaration tag to fill out and put with my case. This was unfortunately not what he was doing, he apparently called the Port Authority police which surrounded me. I explained that I was trying to check my firearm and showed them my concealed carry permit. I was then informed that I had to have a NY gun permit or I was a Felony charge for Criminal possession of a weapon. I was taken to the Port Authority police station on the airport property in handcuffs and fingerprinted and processed. I was then taken to jail where I was told that I would see a judge shortly. Almost 18 hours later I went in front of a judge who set my bail and told me I had to reappear 2 months later. After I was released I was able to do some research and knew that I needed to find the best lawyer possible! My future was on the line because the state of NY doesn’t like guns. I was facing a felony with 3.5 years in prison for something that was normal in the state that I am from. While doing my research I came across several lawyers, but one stood out of the crowd and his name came up in a lot of searches and articles, Martin Kane! I gave him a call on a Monday morning and after a few minutes on the phone I already knew this was the person I wanted to represent me. He already knew all of the details that I really didn’t even need to elaborate on because he was so experienced in these cases. He knows the gun charges and processes like the back of his hand and he has been practicing in Queens for 40 years, which made this awful process so much easier. Mr. Kane gave me some homework to do and put together which he used to present a strong case to the DA and the Judge. Mr. Kane was able to get my felony charges dropped and only pay a small fine just a few months later and prevented me from having to make costly trips to NY. I strongly encourage if you or a family member find yourself in a situation like I was call him immediately! The quicker you call him the easier the process!! To sum it all up Martin Kane is a phenomenal attorney and genuinely cares about his clients. Always keeps you updated and is completely honest with you. If you ever need him, he is a phone call or email away and ready to answer questions!

He took the time to explain everything in detail to me. I felt like he actually cared about my outcome and well being. He was able to achieve a favorable outcome relatively quick and painlessly.

Mr. Martin Kane came recommended to me by an immigration lawyer, when I was charged with a felony. After seventeen years of teaching at a High School, I was unjustly charged on a count of harassment and child endangerment by two teenage students. I was fired by my employer without any internal investigation, no compensation, and left ostracized among family, friends and colleagues. Mr. Martin Kane took on the case which lasted over seven months. During this time, he introduced me to the avenues of the legal system and counseled me on my rights. Among other things, he recommended a trustworthy private investigator to obtain helpful information towards my case. He regularly met with me, my wife and even my daughter who flew in from out of town to dissect the events at the court and decide on the next course of action. For people who have never been in the legal arena for even minor offenses – let alone something of this scale - Mr. Kane fulfilled a role far more important than legal counsel. He was a mentor. During the most challenging time of my life, Mr. Kane knowledgeably navigated my case and caringly remind me of the things that I had to be grateful for in life. Much to my relief, the case finally ended with in my favor. I believe that this positive outcome is directly related to Mr. Kane’s thorough knowledge of the law and many years of experience. I do not regret selecting Mr. Kane as my legal representative, and I will remain grateful to him for the crucial role he played during this most trying time of my life. It is with pleasure that I recommend him and his legal expertise.

In October 2015 my life was about to change for the worse. I had been accused of some serious things. A friend brought me to Mr. Kane. My friend told me about a past situation and how Mr. Kane handled his case. He said his case was handled very well and that Mr. Kane was able to dismiss all charges. I explained the accusations to Mr. Kane and he listened with empathy. He was very understanding in the situation and never once made me feel like he wasn't interested or that this was just another case. He made me feel like this was just as important to him as it was to me. If this would have gone any further it would have been a life changing event for me and my family. Mr. Kane reassured me that he would do what he could to make this as painless and quick as possible. Every Time I called for a question or to give him some information I had he was available and never made we wait for a call back from him. My case was dismissed within two months. He was persistent with the DA. He knew what he was doing. He made me feel at ease. I would recommend Mr. Kane for anyone in need. He is compassionate and understanding to each individual case. -Helplessly Accused

Like many others who have sought the services of Martin Kane, I also found myself in a position of being charged with a felony while flying out of JFK. I am a student who was flying to move across the country to begin my graduate program, and instead found myself arrested and in jail. The entire experience was humiliating and terrifying, and the entire time I was scared to death of how this would affect the professional career I was pursuing, as well as how I would even afford a lawyer. Knowing the seriousness of the charges, I searched for a lawyer who was knowledgeable in these types of firearms in NYC airport cases. Mr. Kane is very experienced in these cases: he knows the laws inside and out and has worked on a countless number of similar cases. I felt that he was my best hope to make sure I faced minimal damage from this unfortunate circumstance. Not only is his price very reasonable (it is a flate rate), he has done an excellent job of staying in contact with me and working with me from across the country. He has made every effort to act on my behalf and have me excused from appearing, and I have not needed to appear in NY to date. If you are in a position where you found yourself arrested for the possession of a firearm in a NYC airport, I urge you to consult with Mr. Kane. He has a great amount of experience and knowledge of these cases and is your best chance at being able to walk away from the situation with the least amount of damage possible (outcomes of course will vary by the individual case). I am very glad to have him defend me and have nothing but good things to say about the experience.

I found support and help from Mr. Kane during a very stressful experience. Also the best result possible.

While it would be incorrect to say I loved the experience of being charged with a felony, I can honestly say i could not have been better served than was the case with Martin Kane. After the Port Authority confiscated my legally owned handguns at the airport counter at LaGuardia airport and hauled me off to their holding pen, then NYPD threw me in the pokie for two days, I was faced with finding a good lawyer to prevent a minor inconvenience from turning into a life-changing event. I knew no lawyers in New York, so my wife did an extensive internet search and i made multiple phone calls interviewing lawyers. I finally settled on Martin because of the testimonials and my interviews with him. He came across as experienced, forthright and realistic about my prospects, while also charging less at a flat fee than every other lawyer i spoke with. Suffice to say, Martin was a communicative, responsive partner through the entire legal process with an outcome i couldn't have been happier with----charges dismissed. If you have a firearms run in with the law in New York, please do yourself a favor and contact Martin.

To whom it may concern. I am very pleased to provide the following summary review for Attorney Mr. Martin Kane. While traveling through New York City and preparing to leave for home on a United flight back to Alabama my luggage was searched by the NYC Port Authority police and they found my pistol, unloaded, clips out and in a locked TSA approved container in my luggage with the signed orange TSA inspection sticker attached. The PA police asked if the container had a gun inside and did it belong to me, I said yes and they responded by arresting me and taking me to jail leaving my wife behind in a strange airport in a wheel chair refusing to help her! I called my son in Nashville to contact an attorney for me. After hours of research on the web and elsewhere my son selected Mr. Kane based on his reputation and experience and success in handling cases like mine. On January 6, 2014 Mr. Kane appeared in court in NYC on my behalf and my case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. This means that, six months from today, my case will be technically on the calendar and will be dismissed. I will not have to appear or do anything further. This was the best of all outcomes possible for me/my case! I have been very pleased with how Mr. Kane handled my case from that first groggy, up 36 hour, morning when he arrived to introduce himself to me at the Queens jail early that morning after I had spent the night in jail and just prior to my hearing before a judge, which he arrived in time to represent me, on such short notice! Mr. Kane provided wise and consistant advice, keeping me informed and of course his excellent abilities and efforts in achieving for me the best of all outcomes concerning my case! Our son David made a wise choice, indeed! I am very very pleased with Mr. Kane's professionalism and personal care in successfully representing me! I whole heartedly and enthusiastically recommend Mr. Kane's services to anyone in a similar situation as I found myself!
