About Lance
Lance Fletcher built his legal foundation at the University of Rochester, where he earned a B.A. in political science and economics in 1996. He continued his studies at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and received his J.D. in 2001. Those years shaped the factual and argumentative skills he brings to court today.
He began practicing law in New York after completing law school. Early on he joined professional organizations that matched his work, including the American Bar Association in 2004 and both the New York County Lawyers Association and the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2008. Those memberships have remained active and inform his ongoing professional connections.
Over the course of his career Fletcher has concentrated his work in criminal defense. He represents individuals facing a range of charges and regularly appears in state courts. His practice includes work at arraignments, representation through pretrial proceedings, negotiation of pleas, and handling trials when cases proceed that far. He also takes on matters that extend beyond conviction, including post-conviction litigation and other collateral issues.
Fletcher’s training in political science and economics informs how he evaluates evidence and strategy. He tends to approach cases by isolating pivotal factual disputes and then testing them against legal standards. That method shows up in how he prepares motions and in courtroom argument. Colleagues note that he maintains steady courtroom pacing and a clear, direct presentation of facts.
His membership in criminal defense and county bar organizations keeps him plugged into developments in New York law. He attends events and participates in continuing legal education through those groups. The practical benefit is routine exposure to changing case law and procedural rules, which he applies to ongoing client matters.
Fletcher practices under the name The Law Offices of Lance Fletcher. He handles cases across New York’s trial courts and coordinates work with investigators, experts, and co-counsel when files require it. He maintains an office presence to meet clients and manage case calendars.
Clients hire Fletcher for representation in criminal matters in New York state courts. He currently practices criminal defense at The Law Offices of Lance Fletcher in New York.
