At the Law Offices of Karen C. Napolitano, P.C., we find that many clients who turn to us for criminal defense have not been in trouble with the law before or are parents of juveniles and as such are often unaware of the seriousness of the criminal charges filed against them or the consequences they face, if they are convicted.

When you are arrested or accused of a crime, you have the right to remain silent if a police officer questions you. Other than stating your name and address and asking to call your attorney, you do not have to say anything further. Your first step in protecting your rights under the law is to call a criminal defense attorney. Remember; anything you say can and will be used against you.

Not only is choosing an attorney vital to protect your legal rights, but your attorney’s knowledge of New York Criminal Code and familiarity with local prosecutors can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
