Re: New York city

You should hire a criminal defense attorney. You are likely eligible to have the case adjourned for a year and then dismissed and sealed. However, it is discretionary with the Judge (most do it) and they can add conditions such as community service, which a good lawyer can either prevent or limit. I am a former federal and State prosecutor and handle criminal cases in the Bronx so please feel free to contact me.

Re: New York city

What youre looking for is quite possible, as the other attorneys have already noted - it is called an ACD (adjournment in contemplation of dismissal) and may be appropriate in a case like this. I would suggest you contact a competent defense attorney ASAP. You may reach my office at 212.709.8303 for a free phone consultation
