What to Expect
When You’re Facing a Criminal Charge
NYC Criminal Lawyers
When you, or a loved one, is accused of committing a crime, you need a trustworthy criminal lawyer cares about you and your family. What you need is an attorney like Michael J. Williams on your side. You need someone who has passion, and a genuine desire to help you and your family survive the accusations the prosecutors are placing on you. The criminal justice often wrongfully accuses people of committing a crime. Often, innocent people get accused with no evidence at all. Prosecutors want to look good – and they’ll try to make it look like you did something wrong – even if it’s not true.
Our criminal defense law firm offers a risk free consultation, and can help you understand your legal options. We offer this consultation over the phone, or in person at one of our many office locations. We’ll discuss exactly what’s going on with your case, and what possible penalties you face.
Prosecutors try to bully you into taking a plea deal, and that often means they’ll force you to accept jail time in order to improve their own record. We can help get your case dismissed, handle your federal appeals, or get the charges significantly reduced. We focus on client satisfaction and getting results. We have over 50 years of criminal defense experience, and are one of New York’s oldest criminal defense law firms.
SOLID DEFENSE TEAM
Serious Charges Require Serious Strategy
Personal Criminal Attorney and a Government-Appointed Legal Representative
Public defenders offer valuable services within the legal system, yet may not be optimal for your circumstances. These legal professionals, employed by the state, may exhibit hesitancy in challenging the system on your behalf. Frequently burdened with a surplus of cases, they might struggle to allocate sufficient time to your specific situation. Moreover, working exclusively within a particular court system can lead them to form affiliations with local court officials, potentially compromising their impartiality in safeguarding your interests.
We strongly advise engaging the services of a private criminal attorney instead of opting for a public defender. Reach out to our NYC criminal lawyers today, and permit us to conduct a thorough and professional examination of your case. We possess the determination to pursue a trial if the charges lack validity. Proficient in constructing robust defenses, our track record attests to our success.
