Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

It is a misdemeanor with the potential of a permanent criminal record. There may be defenses as well as plea bargain opportunities. You may contact my office @7188340087 for a free phone consultation.

Harassment in the Second Degree (as opposed to Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree) is classified as a Violation and not a crime. In most jurisdictions you will receive an ACD which will result in a dismissal after six months. In any event you will have no criminal conviction in either case. Having a criminal record is a vague term. Some consider you to have criminal record if you have ever been arrested, even if it is shown that the charges are baseless.

You should not expect jail time, but it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges or possible dismissal. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
