Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

You should attempt to obtain a plea bargain on the case. It is likely that you could obtain an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. You should also not pay any civil penalties until consulting with a lawyer. Good Luck. You may contact me if you have any further questions.

Under no circumstances should you plead guilty or pay any Macy's imposed fines. Pleading guilty will result in a criminal record and could affect your ability to go to college, obtain financial assistance, or get a job in the future.

If this is your first offense, a competent criminal attorney should be able to obtain either a dismissal of the charges or a reduction to a violation, leaving you with no criminal record.

Good luck!

I need more information. Were you and your girlfriend charged with acting in concert or individually?. If you both were charged with the total, $510 it will make a good plea bargain more difficult. If charged individually you both might come out with a violation, a non-criminal offense.

Under NO circumstances should you plead guilty. Retain a competent criminal defense attorney. That attorney should be able to help you avoid a life changing criminal record. I handle matters such as yours on a regular basis with wonderful results. Please contact my office @ 7188340087 for a consultation.

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.

You're being charged with a crime and pleading guilty to it will give you a criminal record, in the state of new York this means you will have this haunting you for the rest of your life... As new York does not allow for expungement of criminal records.

I would highly suggest not of you getting attorneys immediately.

Our office regularly handles these cases and may be able to help you and make sure you walk away from these cases with no record.
