Re: Legality of Recording phone conversations

2 separate issues: Yes it is legal to record such conversations in NY (So long as 1 party is aware) but it is not always the case that such conversations will be admissible as evidence in a NY Court.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
