When charged with a criminal offense you want an attorney who knows the system, can fight for your rights, and either eliminate or reduce potential jail time. Morris Newman is a former Assistant District Attorney who has been advocating for the rights of the accused for over 30 years.
With rare exception, most people who are arrested and prosecuted in New York City will eventually appear before a Criminal Court judge for arraignment, or first appearance. A person accused of a minor disorderly conduct and a person accused of homicide will both be brought before the same Criminal Court judge for arraignment and may well share a holding cell behind the courtroom New York City.
The time from arrest to arraignment in Criminal Court is generally about 24 hours. A knowledgeable New York criminal defense lawyer can help speed up this process.
That is why it is very important to contact a New York criminal defense lawyer after the accused is arrested and before arraignment.
