A criminal charge is a serious issue and that is how we treat it, while keeping our rates fair and reasonable for our clients. Our lawyers have experience working on criminal matters and Benish A. Shah has worked in the District Attorney’s office in Atlanta as well as for the Public Defender’s office in Dekalb county. Knowing both sides of the process puts our lawyers in a better position to work on your matter.  Contact us at 631.838.0178 to set up a consultation, or email us at sardar@sardarlawfirm.com.

Our criminal defense lawyer will help you through the process, obtain information from prosecution that they must provide, and reach out to potential witnesses to get all the necessary information for trial or plea bargaining.

Even if you are guilty of a crime, a skilled attorney may be able to get a criminal case dismissed based purely on a procedural issue.  As your criminal defense attorney, we will review your case and carefully determine if it could be dismissed on a procedural violation.  Sardar Law Firm’s criminal defense attorneys put together a brief “Know Your Rights” piece for our clients, that can be found here.

Our criminal defense attorney will work to negotiate plea bargains with prosecutors to reduce charges and to reduce or eliminate certain punishments such as prison sentences.  We will work to formulate the best strategy for YOUR case. We do not apply a cookie cutter approach to our cases.  Each individual case will be evaluated on its own.

What Can We Help You With?

• Felony Charges (New York State Courts)

• DWI:  A first DWI arrest carries a sentence up to one year in jail and up to 7 years for those with multiple DWI convictions on their record.  We can help reduce DWI charges to a non-criminal traffic infraction.

• Arraignments: This is the first appearance in front of the Judge at which point bail is set.  The arraignment is key to your defense and you will be presented with the charges against you. You SHOULD consult an attorney before this.

• Misdemeanors: These may appear minor but they carry jail time that may be significant.
