FAQ

Questions people ask before they call.

What should I do if I’m arrested in New York?

Stay calm and do not say anything without a lawyer present. Ask to speak with an attorney immediately. Zuck Legal will protect your rights and help you avoid making costly mistakes early on.

Can a criminal conviction lead to deportation if I’m not a U.S. citizen?

Yes. Many criminal convictions, even for misdemeanors, can result in deportation or make you inadmissible to the U.S. Zuck Legal understands both criminal and immigration law and can build a defense that protects your legal status.

Do I need a lawyer if I’ve only received a Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT)?

Absolutely. A DAT is still a criminal charge and can lead to a permanent record. We fight to get these charges reduced or dismissed before they impact your future.

What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in New York?

A misdemeanor is a less serious crime, usually punishable by up to one year in jail. A felony carries longer sentences and greater consequences. Both can affect your immigration status, employment, and housing.

How does Zuck Legal defend clients charged with drug crimes?

We examine every part of your case, from search procedures to lab results, and push to suppress evidence, negotiate alternatives, or fight charges at trial if needed.

I have a green card, will pleading guilty affect my immigration status?

It can. Some pleas may lead to removal proceedings. We tailor your criminal defense to avoid immigration consequences wherever possible.

What is Crimmigration, and how does it apply to my case?

Crimmigration is the intersection of criminal and immigration law. If you’re not a U.S. citizen and you’re facing charges, we take both systems into account when building your defense, so one mistake doesn’t cost you everything.

Can I apply for asylum if I’ve been charged with a crime?

Yes, but it depends on the type of charge and outcome. Zuck Legal can help you understand your options and build the strongest possible case for protection.
