Misdemeanor and Felony Arrests
If you have been arrested, you need representation from someone with experience and who will fight for your rights and aggressively defend any charges brought.
Once in Court, there may issues regarding bail and if there is a conviction, the penalties can more severe.
One aspect of your defense is ascertaining if there are witnesses or any other evidence that may aid in your defense.
Also, in any criminal prosecution, the police and the District Attorney?s Office must satisfy various legal requirements. This is true from arrest through trial.
To ensure that you receive an aggressive defense and that your rights are being protected, the circumstances of your arrest, and any other facts and evidence, must be analyzed within the confines of the various laws that may apply to your case. Among these are the United States Constitution, the New York State Constitution, the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, the New York State Penal Law, the New York State Criminal Procedure Law, as well as other statutes and regulations.
Only then can an attorney effectively make the appropriate arguments to the Court as to whether the actions of law enforcement satisfied the laws which were put into place to protect individuals accused of crimes.
