Gregory Salmon In-Depth
Gregory Salmon is the lead attorney for CAA's New York cases, handling CPL Article 440 motions, direct appeals, and federal habeas corpus petitions. With extensive experience across all stages of criminal defense, from misdemeanor representation through serious felonies in both state and federal courts, he brings a disciplined, record-driven approach to every case he takes on.
Before joining CAA, Gregory served as a public defender in New York State and spent many years in private practice handling criminal matters at the trial and appellate levels. His appellate work focuses on post-conviction advocacy, including constitutional claims, ineffective assistance of counsel, procedural and evidentiary errors, and sentencing challenges.
A published author, Gregory's lastest book (forthcoming, 2026) is Stolen Time: How Seven New York Inmates Proved Their Innocence After Conviction, which profiles the seven New York inmates exonerated in 2025 after being convicted of crimes they did not commit. He has also published "The 2026 Guide to CPL 440 Motions" and "Overturning Sex Crime Convictions in New York," practical guides for appellate attorneys, inmates, and their families navigating post-conviction relief. His writing reflects the same commitment he brings to his clients: challenging unjust convictions and fighting for those the system has failed.
