    Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
    We Get From Our Clients

    Answers to common questions directly from Long Island’s trusted criminal defense lawyers
    Will I go to jail?
    Whether or not you could face jail time depends on several factors, including the nature of the charges, the evidence against you, your prior record (if any), and the specific crimes charged. My role is to guide you through this process and work towards the best possible outcome. Remember, being charged doesn’t automatically mean you’ll go to jail — there are many options and strategies we can explore together for an aggressive and successful defense.
    Will the case stay on my record?
    Whether a case will stay on your criminal record in New York depends on the outcome and the nature of the charges. If the case is dismissed or results in an acquittal, it typically won’t appear on your criminal record, though it might still show up in some background checks unless it’s sealed. Certain convictions, especially felonies and serious misdemeanors, will remain on your record permanently. However, New York does offer options for sealing specific offenses after a certain period, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. I can help review your case and advise on whether sealing or other remedies might be available.
    Will I have to report this to my current employer? Will I have to report it to a future employer?
    Whether you need to report a criminal conviction to your employer in New York depends on several factors, including your employment contract, company policies, and the nature of your job. New York is an at-will employment state, but laws like the New York State Human Rights Law and the Fair Chance Act in NYC limit how and when employers can consider criminal convictions. Some industries, especially those involving finance, healthcare, education, or government positions, may legally require disclosure. I recommend reviewing your employment agreement and any company policies regarding criminal convictions, and I can help assess whether disclosure is necessary in your specific situation.
    Is there anything the client can do immediately to help the defense?
    Stay Silent & Avoid Self-Incrimination – Do not discuss your case with anyone except your attorney. Anything you say can be used against you.
    Are you the right attorney for this type of case?
    Gather & Preserve Evidence – If you have any documents, messages, videos, or other evidence that is relevant to your case.
