Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: What could be the punishment for PL120.00(1) and VTL600(1)(a)

This is a rather complicated answer... it depends on several things... First of all, does this person have any previous criminal record? if they do not then it would be rather hard for them to take any plea involving a crime or probation, which could potentially be the case.

As far as jail time, i sincerely doubt that there will be any jail time on a case such as this, especially if this is a first arrest.

However, regardless of the fact that there may be no jail time involved this should not deter you from hiring an attorney, it should actually push you to hire one... it will definately make a difference as to how your case is handled... overall, your private attorney will not miss court dates... and will not have other attorneys show up to cover your case...

I would suggest that you hire a private attorney on such a case.

The accused is facing a possible 1 year in jail and a misdemeanor conviction which will be part of his criminal history forever. He should be more concerned with his future rather than the cost of quality representation.A competent criminal defense attorney is necessary in this case. We can discuss the matter further in a free phone consultation. Please call my office@7188340087 to make such arrangements.

Your friend is facing criminal charges and depending on his age may be facing up to one year in jail. A conviction of PL 120.00(1) would stay on your friend's record for the rest of his life, so he should speak to an attorney about his case before making any decisions.
