New York City Criminal Defense Attorney

Faced with criminal charges in NYC?

There is nothing more frightening than the time immediately following an arrest for criminal charges. Criminal charges, whether they pertain to a misdemeanor or felony offense, can carry severe penalties—including time spent in prison or jail, steep monetary fines, community service requirements, probation, the suspension of a driver's license, restitution paid to the family of the alleged victim, and/or mandatory attendance in a drug or alcohol class. Beyond the penalties themselves, the defendant may also face a permanent mark on their criminal record, which is something that can carry consequences of its own.

If you are involved in similar circumstances, you may be forced to face this one mistake every time you are provided an opportunity in the future. You may find yourself severely hindered, whether you are seeking to further your education in a university, looking for new employment, hoping to secure a financial loan or even attempting to purchase a new home. The outcome of these opportunities may rest on that one mistake, and many times they can be lost simply because of the blemish on your criminal record. Such charges simply cannot be ignored—unfortunately, they do not just stay quiet in your past. If you are hoping to avoid a conviction, and all of the ramifications of such, you should not hesitate to act quickly in the interest of your defense.

Understanding Drug Crime Charges

If you have recently been arrested or are currently under investigation by a local or federal agency for a suspected drug offense, it is in your best interest to immediately speak to a legal team that has extensive knowledge in this area of criminal defense. Whether you find yourself in the face of drug possession, trafficking or drug distribution charges, you will need the most aggressive defense available. In the state of New York, prosecutors and law enforcement officers take drug crimes very seriously and dole out severe consequences for those in violation of the law. In addition to possibly facing prison time, you may also pay large fines, have to take mandatory drug classes and will be put on probation. You may have to take random drug tests in the future and you may lose your job as a result of these charges.
