Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
I had my son arrested for Harassment 2nd degree because he was out of control and got physical with me. I spoke to the DA at his arraignment and all I want is for him as a result is to get some anger management counseling. Since this is a violation in NYS does he need a lawyer? He can't afford one and because I'm the complaintant I certainly can't provide him one.

he could still face up to 15 days in jail so I would recommend that he get an attorney. If he can't afford one the court could appoint one for him.
