Reasons Your Criminal Charges Might Get Dropped or Dismissed Before Your Court Date in New York City

By niftyadmin | Jun 13, 2016 | Criminal Law

Defendants are sometimes surprised to learn that most New York criminal cases never make it to trial.  According to government statist樂威壯
ics, less than 10% of criminal cases reach the trial stage, which takes place late in the criminal court process after arraignment and other hearings and appearances.  There are many reasons this can occur.  For example, a case may not make it to trial if the charges are dropped, or if the case gets dismissed altogether.  If you or one of your loved ones was arrested for a felony or misdemeanor in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, or other locations in the New York metropolitan area, contact our experienced Brooklyn assault lawyers to talk about your legal situation in a free consultation.  Representation by a skilled defense attorney gives you the best chance of having your charges dropped or your case dismissed.
