About Ying Minakan-Stafford

I believe that no case is too complex, too messy, or too high-stakes to benefit from a powerful mitigation narrative. I work for results. My approach blends deep investigation, trauma-informed interviewing, and relentless documentation to humanize clients—often transforming the way prosecutors and courts see the case.

I have served as a mitigation specialist and consulting attorney in some of the most challenging and high-profile matters in New York, New Jersey, and nationwide. My work has helped reshape outcomes in cases involving serious charges, extensive media attention, and clients facing life-altering consequences.
