ATTORNEY PROFILES
Javier A. Solano, born and raised in the Bronx is committed to providing first-class counsel in both criminal and civil cases. His approach is simple: every client receives the same professional, aggressive and zealous representation possible. His practice, founded in 2004, focuses primarily on serious criminal cases and catastrophic civil cases, in both the state and federal courts of New York.
Mr. Solano began his career in the Kings County District Attorney’s Office in 1996, where he quickly distinguished himself as a tough, but fair, prosecutor. As a result of his success he was quickly promoted to Senior Trial Attorney in the elite Homicide Bureau, being the youngest prosecutor at the time to achieve that position. Since opening his practice, Mr. Solano has continued that success, most recently winning the acquittal of an innocent man, falsely accused and imprisoned for over a year. During the course of Mr. Solano’s stellar legal career he has tried in excess of sixty cases to verdict, including twenty-two homicide cases.
He regularly appears on television programs such as “Court TV,” Fox News and ESPN, providing legal and practical insight on current events in the news. He is fluent in Spanish and is the lawyer for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Mr.Solano is proud to be Of Counsel to Block O'Toole & Murphy, one of New York's premier personal injury law firms, which has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for their clients.
