Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: Misdemeanor -assault

This case is somewhat complicated .You should have filed a cross-complaint against the passenger. That not being done, were there any witnesses? If not you need a really competent criminal defense attorney, who will evaluate the facts of the case and come up with a strategy to either try the case or plea bargain. You may contact my office@7188340087 for a consultation.

Re: Misdemeanor -assault

You can still establish self defense in this case. An attorney who knows how to do it will assist you with that. Hire a lawyer!!! Do not risk a conviction. Especially, because it could direly effect your immigration status if you are not a citizen of the USA. Now days immigration consequences could be much more serious than criminal ones. Call our office for free consultation. Best of luck.

Re: Misdemeanor -assault

If you work you will not qualify for legal aid, thats the first thing... so you will have to contact and hire your own attorney.

second... did you file charges against the passenger as well and was he arrested?

Also, in an attack self defense is not a valid legal defense if the attack has ended and then you restart it again, so the DA's office may be seeing it that way or, simply going through the procedures with the case... we will not know until you go to court and get the DA's first offer, or have your attorney previously call the DA's office... you CAN NOT do this on your own, you are not permitted to!

You must be very careful and protect yourself, as a misdemanor charge like this carries a penalty up to one year of jail time, and may result in a permanent criminal record, all things which you DO NOT WANT!

Re: Misdemeanor -assault

You should retain an attorney to represent you in this matter. Your chances will depend upon the facts of your case. Any attorney who is going to represent you will need to meet with you and discuss everything that happened in detail before being able to render an opinion on your best course of action and possible outcomes. Please feel free to contact my office if we may be of any assistance.
