New York City Escort Arrest Lawyers
At Crotty Saland PC, our attorneys defend clients against desk appearance ticket (D.A.T.) and misdemeanor charges involving solicitation and escort crimes as defined by New York penal law. As former prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office under Robert Morgenthau and as passionate advocates and criminal defense lawyers, we have spent years working in New York City's criminal courts, and we use our knowledge and experience to defend clients facing misdemeanor prostitution charges. Whether our clients received a desk appearance ticket or were arrested, booked and charged, we treat our clients with the same dignity and respect while fighting on their behalf.
Because prosecutors pursue these cases aggressively, it is important to have an attorney who will defend you just as aggressively. Our lawyers know how sensitive these cases are. These cases can ruin careers and families; it is critical to have a seasoned criminal defense lawyer who can not only defend you vigorously against the legal charges, but can also help protect your reputation in the court of public opinion.
Our clients face charges such as:
- Prostitution, NY PL §230.00
- Patronizing a Prostitute, NY PL §230.04
- Promoting Prostitution, NY PL §230.20
- Permitting Prostitution, NY PL §230.40
These offenses can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the complexity of the organization involved. In either case, a conviction will leave you with a criminal record. Even a plea to a lower Disorderly Conduct violation can come back years down the road. It can also be highly embarrassing. Our attorneys investigate thoroughly to determine if you experienced entrapment by law enforcement or if the evidence obtained was gathered in accordance with the law. We make sure that you were charged correctly based on the facts.
We have been successful in having solicitation charges and other prostitution charges reduced or dismissed based on our investigations and analysis of the evidence. Because this is such a sensitive matter, it can be absolutely devastating. Our attorneys seek dispositions to prostitution charges that protect our clients' rights while keeping their records as clean as possible.
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 misdemeanor prostitution lawyers.
