If you or a loved one have been arrested and charged with a crime in Nassau County, Suffolk County or New York City, or you have learned that you may be the subject of a New York State or federal criminal investigation, the most important decision you can make is deciding who will represent you in fighting these charges.
Whether you have been charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, you now face a process that carries with it the possibility of permanent consequences. Persons charged with a crime often do not know how serious their own situation is.
You should know that whatever the charge is, it is serious and needs to be addressed. A conviction for even a seemingly minor charge can lead to jail time, fines, and/or a period of probation. And almost certainly the worst consequence of a conviction is a criminal record that can cost you employment and financial opportunities in future. Now, as never before, you need to fight to protect your rights, and you need a skilled criminal defense attorney who will stand up for you.
Criminal defense is all about making sure the alleged wrongdoer’s rights are not violated and ensuring that the prosecution meets their burden of proof to gain a conviction. If the prosecutor cannot meet that burden then the accused must be found not guilty of the alleged criminal violation.
