SUFFOLK COUNTY CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER MIKE ELBERT
THE CRIMINAL PROCESS IN SUFFOLK COUNTY
In most cases, the criminal process begins with the police making an arrest and bringing the accused person before a Judge for arraignment at one of the Suffolk County criminal courts. During the arraignment, the person is informed of the criminal charges being brought and the Judge will decide whether to set bail or release the person for the pendency of the case. It is important to have an experienced Suffolk County Criminal Lawyer at this stage because they can make arguments for release or low bail and in some situations move for dismissal of the charges.
After the accusatory process is completed, a person with a Long Island criminal charge can either fight the case or attempt to negotiate a plea bargain. An experienced Suffolk County Criminal Attorney should be able to provide you with options and articulate a strategy to achieve a result that best suits your particular circumstances.
