Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: obstruction

The charge is not a felony, its a class A misdemeanor. Its a charge that the police use when they have nothing else to arrest someone for. Usually its used in cases where the police claim someone got in their way.

Depending on the facts of the case and whether or not you have a previous criminal record, you could get a favorable outcome. From your zip code, this likely happened in Queens, where I am a former Assistant District Attorney and now do a lot of criminal defense. Feel free to contact me if you are looking to retain a lawyer.
