Southeast Criminal Defense Cases

The Town of Southeast, New York is a town in Putnam County New York. It has a population of approximately 18,000 people. Southeast is uniquely situated along several major roads and highways and for that reason, the Southeast Town Court is very busy with DWI and other vehicle and traffic cases, as well as drug cases that result from vehicle and traffic stops.

Criminal cases are among the least understood legal matters a person can face. Often, the 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 Southeast Criminal Defense Lawyers are uniquely prepared to address these nuances. Our Southeast Criminal Defense Attorneys are part of a legal defense team that includes forensic experts, private investigators with law enforcement backgrounds, and seasoned attorneys. As a Southeast Criminal Lawyer, Mayo Bartlett is fully familiar with the procedures of the Southeast Town Court, and other Putnam County courts.

We routinely handle all criminal matters as well as DWI cases in the Putnam County. DWI cases are often misunderstood, and many people do not realize that relatively few drinks over a short period of time may result in a person’s blood alcohol content being over the legal limit. For more information about what our Southeast DWI Defense Lawyers do, and for more information about New York DWI cases, please visit our New York DWI License Center.

We 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.
