Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm arrested in New York?
Remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not answer questions or make statements to police without an attorney present. Contact New York Lawyers Team as soon as possible for emergency criminal defense representation.
What is the difference between a felony and misdemeanor in New York?
In New York, misdemeanors are punishable by up to 1 year in jail, while felonies carry potential prison sentences of more than 1 year. Felonies are classified from Class E (lowest) to Class A (highest), with Class A felonies carrying up to life imprisonment.
Can my criminal record be expunged in New York?
