In today's world, there is no such thing as a minor criminal charge. A conviction of even a misdemeanor offense will result in a permanent criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life.
I am Brooklyn criminal defense attorney Wilson LaFaurie. From my law office in Brooklyn, I represent clients throughout the New York City area who are charged with crimes such as:
- Homicide/murder charges, including manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide
- Drug and narcotic offenses such as possession and sale of crack, meth, marijuana, heroin and prescription drugs
- Theft charges, including shoplifting, breaking and entering, and embezzlement
- Robbery, burglary and larceny charges, including armed robbery
- Fraud charges, including money laundering and forgery
- Domestic violence charges and orders of protection in family and IDV courts
- Misdemeanor crimes such as assault, trespassing and disturbing the peace
- Felony crimes such as felony drug possession, kidnapping and manslaughter
- Juvenile crimes such as underage drinking and drug possession
- Alcohol-related offenses such as driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI)
Every county in New York and Long Island handles their prosecutions with a different approach. Over the last 15 years, I have appeared in New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, the Bronx, Nassau County and Suffolk County.
While many people focus on the short-term consequences of a criminal conviction such as a fine or jail time, the long-term consequences can be even more serious. A conviction can make it harder for you to find a job or an apartment. If you are an immigrant, a conviction on a felony or even some New York misdemeanor charges can lead to your deportation.
As your attorney, I will be there from the beginning of your case until its resolution. I represent my clients at arraignments to help arrange reasonable bail. I have handled thousands of grand jury indictments, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. I will also be there if your case progresses to trial.
