Our Crimmigration Attorneys handle criminal cases and we will honestly and effectively review your case and discuss your legal options with you. We will challenge the evidence presented against you by the prosecutor and carefully assess and evaluate the evidence against you to provide the most vigorous defense, and to give you the best advice with respect to how to handle your matter.
We have found that seemingly simple steps like requesting discovery may make an incredible difference in the outcome of a case. We will carefully scrutinize your case, and we are always happy to discuss the results with you. We will also go beyond the often voluminous initial discovery that is provided by the prosecution, and we will request additional specific information as we review your file. This has occasionally resulted in significantly better offers, and even dismissal of charges.
Mayo Bartlett has successfully challenged the validity of a plea due to improper warnings to the client about possible immigration consequences. He filed a Motion to Vacate the Plea and Sentence and both were vacated, allowing a potential DACA recipient to maintain his dream of becoming an American citizen.
We fight to protect your civil rights as we provide you with a thorough and ethical criminal defense. We will explore your options and fight to minimize, or even eliminate barriers to your potential for United States citizenship.
In New York State, criminal charges can completely change your life. Although the law states that you are innocent until proven guilty, the fact is that you may have severe consequences from the moment you are arrested, or even accused. Seemingly simple arrests for offenses like Unlawful Possession of Marihuana (Marijuana), DWI and Theft may lead to deportation of denial of United States citizenship if you are not a citizen of the United States. Our crimmigration attorneys work closely with immigration attorneys to ensure that your criminal case does not have undue immigration consequences.
The New York State Penal Law is an extensive body of laws which make many acts criminal. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. If you are stopped by the police, remain silent, remain calm, and ask to speak to an attorney. Even if you are innocent, it may be harmful for you to speak to law enforcement. One of our most valuable rights is the right to remain silent.
Having experienced and diligent legal counsel is essential because if you are convicted, the results may include substantial jail time and often expensive fines imposed by the court, as well as your removal from the United States if you are not a citizen.
Our New York Crimmigration Attorneys also have extensive experience representing college students who have criminal charges against them. Seemingly minor charges like Marihuana possession and Petit Larceny can have devastating consequences for college students. These charges can lead to denial of student loans, and even expulsion from school. If you, or a loved one is a college student facing criminal charges contact us immediately so that we may help you effectively resolve the case while preserving your ability to complete your education.
