About Joseph Tacopina
Joseph Tacopina, the Founder and Senior Partner of the Manhattan-based law firm Tacopina Seigel & DeOreo, specializes in criminal, civil, and securities litigation, and is widely recognized as the “go to” criminal defense attorney in the country. Mr. Tacopina is included in New York Magazine as “New York area’s Top Rated Lawyer” and named “the best-dressed, smoothest-talking, hardest-working criminal defense attorney going” in a six-page spread in GQ Magazine’s Power section. He is also one of the Top 35 Lawyers “for Death, Divorce and Other Disasters” as elected by The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. Mr. Tacopina skyrocketed in the legal profession since his early days as a prosecutor for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. After entering private practice, Mr. Tacopina displayed his talent not only for criminal defense law, but also in public and press relations, which he has elevated to a new level in the criminal defense field. Tacopina has earned the media’s praise and frequently appears as a much sought after legal analyst by media outlets nationwide, including CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, FoxNews, CNBC, and MSNBC. Mr. Tacopina has also headlined Primetime, 48 Hours, E! Entertainment, and Dateline and served as a special correspondent for 20/20. Notably, CBS’s “The Guardian” used Mr. Tacopina’s courtroom charm as a model for their main character and, one of James Patterson’s bestselling books, Private #1 Suspect, featured Mr. Tacopina within it. Mr. Tacopina has tried more than 100 cases to verdict and received one of the largest civil verdicts in New Jersey, as well as an acquittal for an NYPD officer accused of rape and burglary in a case that garnered national media attention. Other notable cases where Mr. Tacopina has triumphed include YG’s robbery case that was dismissed on the eve of trial; representing Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder during questioning by the House Oversight Committee and handling litigation related to the NFL team’s workplace culture, and recently representing Kimberly Guilfoyle in connection with the January 6th congressional hearings. Former President Donald J. Trump, A-Rod, Sean Hannity, Don Imus, Swiss Beatz, American singer Ne-Yo, Emmy Award-winning television journalist Sarah Wallace, executive director of the NFLP DeMaurice Smith, Meek Mill and Rapper A$AP Rocky are other notable clients who have retained Mr. Tacopina, who has earned high praise from prominent media and press personalities throughout his career, being considered one of New York’s most aggressive and widely known lawyers by The New York Times.
