Misdemeanor Charges & Misdemeanor Defense
Drug Offenses | Sex Crimes | Theft Offenses | Menacing | Trespass | Resisting Arrest | Long Island | New York City
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor, you may be considering representing yourself or just pleading guilty, with the mistaken belief that the penalties will be insignificant or minimal. A misdemeanor conviction can have severe consequences, however, and can hamper you for years. Your conviction may show up on a background check or limit your job opportunities. If you are subsequently charged with another crime, a prior conviction on a misdemeanor charge can result in increased penalties. You want an experienced and assertive attorney to protect your rights.

Our Misdemeanor Defense Practice
We aggressively defend people charged with Class A or Class B misdemeanors, handling all types of misdemeanor prosecutions, including cases involving:
- Possession or sale of controlled substances
- Theft offenses, such as shoplifting or petty larceny
- Sex offenses, including prostitution
- Criminal menacing
- Issuing a bad check
- DUI or drunk driving
- Aggravated harassment
When you hire us to defend you against a misdemeanor charge, we will take the same approach we would take if you were charged with a felony. We will conduct a full investigation of the facts and circumstances of your arrest, assessing the credibility of any testimony, as well the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We will look for information that will support a credible defense and will verify that police and prosecutors have not violated your rights.
We will carefully examine the basis for any search or seizure to establish whether law enforcement officers had probable cause, and we will verify that you were properly advised of your Miranda rights if taken into custody.
