FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a lawyer for a DWI in Staten Island?

Yes. DWI charges can lead to license suspension, jail time, and high fines. A lawyer can help fight the evidence or reduce penalties.

What happens after a felony arrest in Richmond County?

You’ll likely face arraignment quickly. It’s critical to have a defense lawyer there to advocate for bail and begin your case preparation.

Can domestic violence charges be dropped?

Possibly. If evidence is weak or the alleged victim chooses not to cooperate, charges may be reduced or dismissed. We review all angles.

What if I have a prior criminal record?

A previous record can increase penalties. We work to mitigate past history and pursue lighter sentencing or rehabilitation programs.

What makes your law firm different from a public defender?

We give you focused, personalized attention with fewer cases and more time dedicated to your defense.
