A criminal case in New York moves fast: an arrest, a night at the precinct or a Desk Appearance Ticket, and a first court date as soon as the next day. Decisions made in those first hours often shape the outcome. The earlier a lawyer is involved, the more options remain.
Steven Zuck has handled hundreds of court appearances across New York City and Nassau County. He knows how prosecutors build a case and where it tends to be weak: an unlawful search, an unreliable witness, a step the police skipped. He handles every case himself, from arrest to verdict or dismissal.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, every criminal charge is also an immigration case. Steven weighs what a plea would do to your status before you agree to anything.
