Nassau County Violent Crimes Attorney

Violent Crime Charge Process 

Navigating a violent crime charge in Nassau County requires an understanding of both New York law and local court practices. Each step has its own challenges, but knowing the process helps you make smarter decisions and ease your concerns. Here’s what typically happens when facing violent crime charges in this area:

1. Arrest and Arraignment: Local police or law enforcement will make an arrest, then arrange for arraignment—your first court appearance—where formal charges are read, and the court sets bail terms based on specific circumstances and risk factors.
2. Discovery and Case Preparation: Both sides share evidence, including police reports and forensic material. Our violent crime defense lawyers in Nassau County diligently examine every element to uncover inconsistencies or procedural mistakes.
3. Pretrial Hearings: Nassau County courts hold pretrial hearings to determine which evidence the court will allow. We challenge improper tactics and work to exclude questionable or unlawfully collected evidence whenever possible.
4. Plea Negotiations or Trial: Some criminal cases resolve with plea agreements, while others proceed to trial before a judge or jury. Our background across thousands of violent crime cases guides our approach and helps us deliver strategic advice in high-stakes situations.
5. After Verdict or Resolution: Once your case concludes, our attorneys advise you on any follow-up steps, such as appeals or probation conditions, to protect your long-term interests.
