Criminal Defense
Approximately 97% of the cases charged in New York do not go to trial. Most cases are either dismissed or result in a plea after the attorney negotiates a disposition with the office of the district attorney, known as “plea bargaining.:” An experienced criminal defense attorney should always keep both avenues in mind throughout the course of the representation. While trial is always a possibility, there are numerous other alternatives available, and it is the client’s best interest that the attorney be well-versed in them all.
In addition, different criminal charges often bring with them different possible dispositions. For example, the options in drug cases are different from those in a grand larceny case. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling a variety of cases, including the following:
- Drugs / Controlled Substance Offenses including trafficking, distribution, possession, transportation, possession for sale, marijuana cultivation and manufacturing
- Felony and Misdemeanor Traffic Offenses, including Drunk Driving (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence of Narcotics
- White Collar Crimes including mail and credit card fraud, embezzlement, Internet crimes, and corporate crimes
- Probation and Parole Violations including failure to report, drug or alcohol use, and illegal weapons charges
- Warrant Resolution
