About Us

Firm Profile

Nathans & Biddle LLP is a highly rated firm of trial and appellate lawyers devoted to criminal defense and complex civil litigation.  Our law firm provides individuals and corporations with experienced, effective representation in all phases of criminal and civil matters, including: white collar; public corruption; grand jury; federal sentencing; federal and state felony and misdemeanor; appellate and post conviction; attorney grievance; federal forfeiture; civil litigation (including whistle blowers in qui tam prosecutions); and administrative and academic proceedings.

The diversity of our clientele reflects the breadth of our attorneys' experience. With over 60 years of combined litigation expertise, our attorneys represent corporations,  senior executives, politicians, attorneys, physicians, judges, students, and other professionals and individuals in criminal proceedings and related civil, personal and professional matters.  We provide comprehensive litigation support to our clients, extending beyond the primary investigation or court proceedings, to address collateral professional or academic sanctions, parallel civil proceedings, and adverse media attention.  Through skilled management in our early representation, we often persuade prosecutors to abandon criminal investigations or exonerate our clients before charges are ever filed.
