Frequently Asked Questions

Is shoplifting a serious charge?

It depends on the value and your record, but even a misdemeanor theft conviction can affect jobs. Many first offenses qualify for diversion.

Can a theft charge be expunged later?

Sometimes. Ask about record clearing when you discuss the outcome of your case.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in Rye Brook?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
