Who is Charles J Hynes?

The best District Attorney in America, that's who.

This man will stop at nothing to catch a thief, save a truant kid on the street, or assist an elderly citizen. Located in King's County (Brooklyn), NY, DA Hynes employs techniques old, new, unique, and sometimes downright funny in his constant quest for justice. The war on crime may not be over, but Hynes is closing in fast.

I first learned of DA Hynes while looking into real estate fraud cases such as the following. On December 20, 2006 Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced the indictment of a married couple for stealing total ownership of a home they co-owned with an elderly Holocaust survivor and his wife who narrowly escaped Hitler’s Germany in 1938. The theft was accomplished by a forged deed and other forged documents.

"This is another example of the real estate fraud epidemic that is plaguing the city and especially Brooklyn," said District Attorney Hynes.

On December 28, 2006 Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced the indictment of three men charged with stealing an elderly Brooklyn woman’s home while she lay dying of cancer. The defendants are charged with forging documents to give defendant Russell Pitt power of attorney over a building owned by the woman at 39 Herkimer Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The woman died in 2005.

On July 10, 2006 Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and Department of Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn announced the indictment of Brooklyn Democratic Assemblywoman Diane Gordon on charges that she sought a $500,000 single-family home as a bribe from a Brooklyn contractor.

"This type of influence peddling by Assemblywoman Gordon is the worst possible betrayal to the voters who elected her and who expected her to represent them fairly," said DA Hynes. "Nobody is above the law; in fact, public officials should be held to a higher standard."

(Amen, brother. Now to convince clerks and registrars who are displaying and selling our land records all over the world.)

DA Hynes isn't only involved in halting real estate-related crime. Last year he held an interfaith memorial prayer service for child abuse victims, noting that all communities and people are affected by child abuse.

"Let this interfaith worship service be an opportunity for us all to now come together as one community, to remember and to pray for those most vulnerable our children," said DA Hynes. "Child abuse impacts all of us."

Hynes is also noted for creating YCP (Youth and Congregations in Partnership), a community-based early intervention program for Brooklyn’s court-involved and at-risk youths, ages 13 to 22. The program is a collaboration between the District Attorney’s Office and the Brooklyn religious community and includes social workers, churches, and community service providers. In 2006, Hynes proudly attended the graduation of 46 members.

Let's end on a positive note, such as Hynes' announcement of the arraignment of Steven Vassal on a 42-count indictment charging him with practicing veterinary medicine without a license or training and treating 14 animals, including performing numerous surgeries.

Vassal was arrested in February, after an undercover investigation by the Brooklyn DA’s Office, which employed Detective Fred the Cat, a nine-month-old kitten deputized to work on the case.
