Don Savatta

01

Practice focus

The work Don confirmed for this profile.

Don described his practice as criminal litigation in federal and state courts. He also defends students and student-athletes in Title IX and university-discipline matters and serves as lead counsel in pro bono wrongful-conviction and actual-innocence matters.

Practice descriptions identify the work Don says he handles. They do not predict a result, establish fit for a particular matter, or replace a conflicts check and engagement agreement.

02

Background supplied for review

Prosecution, teaching, and professional service.

Before private practice, Don served as a Senior Assistant District Attorney in Kings County and was assigned to the Rackets Bureau, where his work included financial-crime investigations, felony hearings, trials, grand-jury presentations, and search-warrant preparation.

Don also reported teaching criminal law and procedure as an adjunct professor at St. Francis College and trial advocacy as a faculty instructor at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. His August 25 review identified service with the New York County Lawyers' Association Committee on Professional Ethics and its Ethics Hotline, together with memberships in criminal-defense and county-lawyer associations.

03

Response standard

Same-day response is the stated office standard.

Don stated that the office responds the same day and sooner in emergency situations. That is a stated office practice, not a guarantee that the office can accept a matter or respond within a particular number of minutes.

Email, call, or text Don directly. Start with your name, a safe way to reach you, and a non-confidential description of the type and urgency of the matter.
