Criminal cases are among the least understood legal matters a person can face. Often, criminal allegations alone are enough to damage a person’s life, causing the accused to lose eligibility to receive federal student loans, the right to remain in the United States if he or she is an immigrant, and even their freedom. It is important to choose an attorney who has experience handling these delicate cases. As a Hudson Valley Criminal Defense Law Firm, our Rockland Criminal Defense Attorneys are uniquely prepared to address these nuances.
