Rovshan Chingiz Sharifov

Rovshan Sharifov is a criminal defense attorney and former New York prosecutor with more than 23 years of experience representing individuals charged with serious crimes in New York State and federal courts. He is the founding partner of Sharifov & Associates, PLLC, a criminal defense firm with offices in Brooklyn and Nassau County, Long Island. Mr. Sharifov has been selected to the Super Lawyers list - a peer-reviewed distinction earned by fewer than five percent of attorneys in New York State — reflecting the trust and recognition he has earned from fellow members of the legal community. Before dedicating his career to defense, Mr. Sharifov served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Nassau County District Attorney's Office. That experience gives him a rare analytical edge - he knows exactly how prosecutors build their cases, how they evaluate evidence, and where the weaknesses are. That knowledge is now deployed entirely in the service of his clients. He approaches every case with the same intensity and commitment, whether it is a first-time misdemeanor in a Brooklyn criminal court or a complex federal indictment in the Eastern District of New York. He takes the time to know not just the legal facts of each case but the full circumstances of each client's life, because he understands that behind every criminal charge is a person whose liberty, reputation, family, and future are on the line. Mr. Sharifov handles felonies, white collar crimes, health care and medicaid fraud, wire and bank fraud, conspiracies and money laundering, drug offenses, weapon charges, domestic violence, DWI defense, federal cases in EDNY and SDNY, traffic crimes, and misdemeanors in courts across New York City and Long Island. He has been featured in NBC New York, CBS New York, the New York Post, the Associated Press, Daily News, Newsday, and other major media outlets.
