The questions.

ANSWERED PLAINLY · FULL ANSWERS ON THE FIRM PAGE
Q.01
What are the possible outcomes of a criminal case in NYC?

Dismissal is the goal - the case dropped, no record, no penalties. A plea bargain, with reduced charges or sentences, is how most cases end. And when trial is the right move, a not guilty verdict is won in court. What tilts the scale: your prior record, the evidence, mitigating circumstances, and the lawyer you choose.

Q.02
What if I’m wrongly accused?

It happens more often than you think. Don’t panic, and don’t do anything rash - hire counsel immediately. Mistaken identity, lack of evidence, false confessions, and alibis are all real defenses. We investigate what happened and work to get the charges dropped, or go to trial for the not guilty verdict.

Q.03
Can my charges be reduced or dismissed?

100%. Dismissal is the ideal outcome; reduction is the next best. Even if you did commit the crime, you still have rights and defenses - lack of criminal intent, self-defense, entrapment, statute of limitations, and more. Skilled negotiation keeps serious convictions off your record.

Q.04
What should I do if I’m arrested?

Stay calm, and get ready. You want an attorney on your side as early as possible - someone to protect you. Say nothing without counsel. Then bring everything to the first meeting: the charges, subpoenas, what was seized. The road from there is mapped, stage by stage.

Q.05
Federal charges - how are they different?

Federal charges are a whole other animal. The DOJ prosecutes under different rules, with sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimums that leave judges little discretion. Many lawyers are proficient with state crimes; federal work demands a firm that lives in it.

Q.06
How do I choose the right lawyer?

Three things matter: experience with cases like yours, reputation you can verify - past clients, reviews, ratings on TrustPilot, Yelp, Google - and credentials, including the resources for investigators and expert witnesses. Don’t go with the cheapest option; your freedom is on the line.
