Queens Lawyer

Our Attorneys Understand the Criminal Court System in Queens

A Queens lawyer knows New York criminal laws and processes are complex, and they govern all boroughs of New York City.  If you have been charged with any type of crime—from traffic violations to felonies—you can benefit from experienced legal support. 

A Queens criminal defense lawyer is critical for felony charges

Most people recognize the importance of immediately retaining a Queens criminal defense lawyer when charged with a felony crime—but innocent people do not always recognize their cases require a skilled criminal defense as well.  The New York criminal system grades felonies from A (the most serious) to E (the least serious) and further considers violence as a factor. Our Queens criminal defense law firm knows that the law takes many others into account, including past criminal history, whether prior crimes were violent or non-violent, persistent felony offenders, and the age of the offender.

Penalties for New York felony crimes range from no jail time (Level E-non violent felony with no priors) to 25 years in prison (Level B-violent).  Level A felonies always carry the possibility of life imprisonment. In any situation your Queens criminal law attorney will be there to advise and represent you aggressively on your behalf.

Misdemeanor charges should be treated seriously

While misdemeanor crimes are considered to be minor, convictions carry significant penalties, including up to one year in a county jail.  New York law bases both the process and punishment on the level of misdemeanor charges—

• Type A misdemeanors, such as petite larceny, permits trial by jury, with convictions punishable by up to one year in jail. 
• Type B misdemeanors, which include attempted assault, fifth degree marijuana possession, and first degree harassment, carry a maximum 90-day jail sentence, but jury trials are not permitted.

You need to take misdemeanor charges seriously and retain experienced Queens attorneys to protect your rights and ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

We can help you after a Accident

Our Queens automobile accident lawyers see accident injuries that devastate individuals and losses that rip holes in families. Insurance may or may not pay for all the medical and rehabilitation costs, and it certainly does not compensate victims for ruined lives. Prosecuting an accident injury lawsuit in Long Island is often the only way to truly compensate victims.

A Queens attorney can help with traffic violations

Many individuals do not consider retaining a Queens attorney to help with traffic violation defense.  But each conviction for a traffic violation earns drivers points that can quickly accumulate until driving privileges are suspended.  And some charges are treated even more seriously—three speeding tickets in 18 months or a conviction for drug or alcohol-related offenses immediately cause license suspension as well as fees, penalties, and assessments. 

Under certain circumstances, driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges are convicted as felony crimes.  Drivers in Queens and throughout New York State can also expect their driving records to follow them to Quebec or Ontario, which are reciprocal reporting areas.  Queens car accident lawyer Kenneth S. Feraru understands the New York traffic violation law and has successfully represented drivers charged with both moving and non-moving violations.
