New York City Aggravated Harassment Lawyers
The New York City lawyers at Crotty Saland PC defend clients against desk appearance ticket (D.A.T.) and misdemeanor charges involving aggravated harassment, menacing, stalking and unlawful imprisonment as defined by New York penal law. Having defended clients accused of these crimes and prosecuted the same offenses as assistant district attorneys in Manhattan, we have a firm grasp on the criminal process and means by which to defend cases in New York City criminal courts. This experience is the focal point of our representation for each client arrested for a crime or issued a D.A.T. in New York City.
Our attorneys defend clients who were arrested or received desk appearance tickets for misdemeanor charges, including the following crimes listed in the New York penal law:
- Aggravated Harassment, NY PL §240.30
- Stalking, NY PL §120.50
- Unlawful Imprisonment, NY PL §135.05
- Menacing, §120.14 and §120.15
These charges, although they may start out as misdemeanors, can quickly turn into felonies if the prosecutor can link you to additional crimes. That is why it is important to have a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer who can examine the evidence against you and determine if you have been correctly charged or whether there is a strong and viable defense. It is particularly important to not discuss anything with law enforcement personnel before speaking with an attorney. The stakes can be very high in terms of potential sentences and collateral consequences. Compounding matters, should any of the allegations involve a family member or spouse, courts and prosecutors may be able limit your ability to interact or see family members including children.
Our law firm serves clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Westchester County. Call us at 646-808-3300 or contact us online today to speak with our New York attorneys for misdemeanor crimes of harassment and fear.
