How can we help you?
A pink summons, also called a Criminal Court summons, is issued for low-level offenses like disorderly conduct, public drinking, or unlicensed driving. It requires you to appear in court on the date listed. Ignoring it can result in a bench warrant for your arrest. Our attorneys help clients fight these summonses to avoid fines, criminal records, or other consequences.
Driving with a suspended license (known as Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, or AUO) is a criminal offense in New York. Depending on the circumstances, you could face fines, probation, or even jail time. Our firm reviews why the license was suspended and works to resolve underlying issues while defending you against the criminal charge.
A desk appearance ticket (DAT) is an order to appear in criminal court, typically issued after an arrest for lower-level charges such as shoplifting, marijuana possession, or certain assaults. While less severe than being held in custody, a DAT is still a criminal matter. Our attorneys represent clients in DAT cases to negotiate dismissals, reductions, or alternatives to conviction.
Assault charges vary in severity, from misdemeanor assault (causing minor injuries) to felony assault (serious injuries or use of a weapon). Convictions can result in jail time, probation, fines, and a permanent criminal record. Our law firm defends assault cases by challenging evidence, cross-examining witnesses, and raising self-defense or lack-of-intent arguments.
Burglary is a serious felony offense in New York and involves entering a building unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime inside. Convictions carry lengthy prison sentences and long-term consequences. Our attorneys build strong defenses by challenging unlawful searches, questioning intent, and exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Yes. Even though these may seem minor, both can result in a criminal record if not handled properly. Having an attorney helps protect your record, negotiate dismissals, and prevent long-term consequences that can affect employment, immigration, or professional licensing.
Absolutely. Even a low-level conviction from a pink summons or DAT can impact employment, professional licenses, and immigration status. Assault and burglary charges are even more serious and can lead to deportation or loss of career opportunities. Our law firm fights aggressively to protect not just your freedom but also your future.
We combine deep knowledge of NYC courts with extensive criminal defense experience, handling everything from summonses to serious felonies. Our attorneys provide aggressive representation, personalized strategies, and a strong record of dismissals and reduced charges. Whether it’s a traffic-related summons or a serious burglary charge, we fight to protect your rights at every stage.
If you miss your scheduled court date, the judge will likely issue a bench warrant for your arrest. This means you could be arrested at any time, including during routine traffic stops. Our attorneys can often file a motion to vacate the warrant and resolve the case before it escalates.
Yes. Many cases, especially those involving pink summonses or desk appearance tickets, can be dismissed or resolved without trial. Dismissals may occur if the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence, if your rights were violated, or through successful negotiation. Our law firm identifies weaknesses in the case early to push for dismissal whenever possible.
