Kratka Law Group proudly announces that Daniel Kratka has been selected to the 2026 New York Super Lawyers list, an honor reserved for the top 5% of attorneys in each state, following a rigorous, multi-phase selection process including peer nominations, independent research, and evaluation of professional achievement.
Mr. Kratka’s selection reflects more than two decades of criminal defense experience across state and federal courts. He delivers strategic, results-driven advocacy in complex, high-stakes matters, from pre-arrest investigations through trial and appellate proceedings.
A former Assistant District Attorney in the New York County District Attorney’s Office, Mr. Kratka brings a rare prosecutorial perspective to his defense practice. Over the course of his career, he has handled thousands of cases, including fraud, multi-state investigations, and matters involving public officials, with extensive trial experience in both state and federal courts.
Mr. Kratka is also recognized for his appellate and post-conviction work, particularly on behalf of non-citizen clients facing deportation. His efforts have resulted in numerous dismissals and restructured outcomes that have preserved lawful status and prevented removal from the United States.
Prior to founding Kratka Law Group in 2023, Mr. Kratka spent nearly two decades as a partner at a Manhattan litigation firm, where he built and led a successful criminal defense practice. He holds a Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School, graduating in the top 25% of his class. He was a member of the Moot Court Honor Society and Trial Advocacy Team. He is also a former All-City basketball player.
“Super Lawyers is a respected benchmark in the legal industry, and I’m honored to be included among this group,” said Mr. Kratka. “Our focus is on clear strategy, strong advocacy, and delivering results when the stakes are highest.”
Super Lawyers evaluates attorneys across more than 70 practice areas using a patented selection process designed to identify those who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
