Having an experienced criminal defense attorney in a misdemeanor case is equally as important as having one in a felony case. The state of New York does not expunge crimes, so a misdemeanor conviction will follow an individual for the rest of their life. Therefore, it is extremely important to be represented by a competent defense attorney who will work to minimize the consequences of the misdemeanor charge.

If you have been charged with a misdemeanor crime, contact Manhattan criminal defense attorney Paul D. Petrus, Jr. at 212-564-2440 for a free consultation.
