Historical
Prior to his attendance at law school, Francisco worked as a Forensic Analyst for a prestigious Computer Forensics firm in New York City. After earning his Juris Doctorate degree in Washington, D.C., Francisco returned to New York, and began his tenure as an Assistant District Attorney for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office (Brooklyn, NY). Due to his tenacity, Francisco was selected to the Gang Division, an elite group of attorneys within the DA’s office, and tasked with prosecuting gang activity in many of New York’s highest-crime areas. During that time, Francisco was ranked among the top ten percent (10%) of attorneys office-wide. A highlight of his time as a prosecutor included the largest takedown of one gang in Brooklyn history. After a year-long investigation, he successfully indicted forty-two (42) members of a violent street gang for conspiracy to commit murder, assault and robbery. Unique to this prosecution, Francisco and his team used social media to create a timeline for a string of violent felony crimes.

After resigning from the DA’s office, Francisco moved to civil practice and criminal defense. There, he focused on complex litigation and served as outsourced general counsel to businesses, celebrities, and international clientele. He also represented several individuals charged with a variety of felony and misdemeanor matters. Thereafter, Francisco served as a Senior Associate Attorney at two (2) mid-sized firms in Manhattan. In this capacity, he litigated on behalf of New York-area hospitals and physicians in their defense of medical malpractice claims.

As part of his practice in New York and the DMV area, Francisco was selected as the first non-City University of New York (CUNY) graduate to serve as an attorney-mentor in their attorney incubator program. He was selected by the city of New York to provide low and pro bono counsel to City Counsel constituents in Bronx County, and he lectured, in English and Spanish, in NYC public schools to educate students, parents, and faculty, on topics ranging from cyber-bullying to civil rights. Francisco was also extensively involved with nonprofits to educate minorities relating to immigration consequences and how their status may be affected by criminal charges.

Additionally, Francisco has been selected as a prosecutorial volunteer, for Project Safe Surrender, a government-organized community-based initiative geared toward clearing open warrants to reduce case backlogs. He has served as a Board of Director, for Pace University’s Lubin Alumni Association – his alma mater. Francisco has also served as General Counsel to the New York City LGBTQS Chamber of Commerce.
