NYC Misdemeanors Lawyers
Serving Clients in New York & Long Island
Far too many people consider misdemeanor crimes to be the equivalent of a traffic ticket. They rarely realize their mistake until it is too late to do much about the unexpected penalties and ongoing problems that arise due to a criminal conviction that might have otherwise been avoided with the experienced advice of a qualified attorney.
The truth is a misdemeanor charge is no trivial matter. It can result in considerable fines and jail time in some of the most egregious cases. As a criminal charge it requires sober and serious attention, and it demands the services of a competent defense attorney. If you are facing such a charge, here are some reasons you should immediately avail yourself of your right to counsel.
Why You Need a Defense Attorney for Misdemeanor Charges
Rarely in any criminal prosecution will law enforcement obtain a conviction independently. Rather in nearly every case, a defendant will either implicate themselves, blunder when confronted with a crucial choice, or surrender and take a plea deal.
A defense attorney’s job is to prevent a defendant from doing any of those things. Answering questions in a police interrogation, for example, cannot benefit a defendant in any way. This is something all defense attorneys know and something all police officers and prosecutors know as well. Defendants, on the other hand, rarely have any idea what is going on during their case, and they certainly can’t be expected to navigate the precise and nuanced rules of hearsay, evidence and deceptive interrogation techniques on their own.

"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
