When a trial ends in a conviction, it may feel like the end of the road—but it doesn’t have to be. In New York, the law offers a second chance to correct legal errors through the criminal appeals process. A direct criminal appeal allows a person convicted of a crime to have their case reviewed by a higher court. However, navigating this process requires specialized legal knowledge, a mastery of appellate procedure, and precise legal argumentation.

Although your criminal case may now be over, you may still be dealing with your criminal conviction. For example, you may need to move out of your house because of SORA. Additionally, you may have difficulty getting a job or a Green Card. Furthermore, you may have issues keeping your medical license. Coupled with still meeting with your probation officer for years after the plea. Contact us today for help with Sealing of Prior Convictions, CPL 440 Motions, Appeals, Early Termination of Probation/Parole, Article 78 Proceedings, Modification of SORA, Help with Immigration or your license.

Domestic violence crimes are those that happen within intimate, or familial relationships. Specifically, including assault, menacing, criminal mischief, violations of orders of protection, custodial interference, crimes against children and elder abuse. Additionally, pretty much any other crime within a family is domestic violence. Our attorneys know how to navigate these emotionally-charged NYC domestic violence cases. Of course, time is of the essence with these cases.

Undoubtedly, finding out that you are under investigation is terrifying. If you were contacted by federal agents, had a search warrant executed on your home, or been indicted by a federal Grand Jury, contact us without delay. We have successfully defended hundreds of cases. Such as Wire Fraud, Bank Fraud, Healthcare Fraud, Real Estate Fraud, Narcotics Trafficking, Murder, RICO, and many more.

Federal and New York White Collar Crimes usually involve the Client’s business of financial affairs. Generally, these offenses are not violent. Markedly, they involve dishonesty and deceit. For example, white collar crimes are: embezzlement, forgery, money laundering, schemes to defraud, larcenies, fraud and public corruption. Unquestionably, the federal government may have been investigating you for months if not years. Therefore, it is essential that you contact a white collar criminal attorney as soon you find out that you are being investigated.
