About The Firm

Gotham Criminal Defense is a dynamic, boutique New York City law firm committed to the relentless protection of civil rights in the criminal justice system. The firm distinguishes itself by providing affordable legal defense strategies to those accused in New York, regardless of background or means. At the heart of its mission lies the recognition that the stakes in any criminal case transcend the courtroom and reach deep into the core of basic liberty and community trust.

Led by Managing Member Kaetan Mazza—widely known as “Mr. Keep You Outta Jail”—Gotham Criminal Defense combines bold courtroom presence with strategic negotiation skills.  Kaetan’s leadership is complemented by several veteran defense attorneys, including his father, who brings more than 30 years of legal wisdom and trial experience to the team. This multi-generational approach allows the firm to blend classical trial advocacy with contemporary tactics uniquely adapted to New York’s evolving and often unforgiving legal landscape.
