Criminal Defense Lawyer FAQs
Defending a case generally falls into one of these categories:
- A crime never occurred.
- A crime was committed, but you were not involved. Common defenses in this situation are:
- Mistaken Identification
- Alibi
- Framed
- A crime occurred, but there is a legal defense/justification to your actions. Defenses that are used in this situation include:
- Agency
- Duress
- Entrapment
- Infancy
- Emergency Measure
- Self-Defense
- Renunciation
- A crime happened, but the defendant is not responsible.
- Mental Disease or Defect
- Intoxication (Drugs/Alcohol)
- A crime happened, but not the crime that was charged.
- Lesser Included Offenses
- Extreme Emotional Disturbance
To defend your case, it is important to remember that you are presumed innocent of all charges. The burden to prove your guilt is on the prosecution, who must establish that you committed every element of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt. In other words, you do not have to prove your innocence or that you are not guilty.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt means a jury is firmly convinced of the accused’s guilt and that there is no practical or realistic explanation for any element of the crime other than it was committed by the person charged with the crime. It is the highest form of proof in the law.
A mistaken identity defense is used when a witness incorrectly states that a person was involved in a crime, when they were not. This defense is often utilized when there is eyewitness testimony and the defendant did not commit the crime.
The New York Court of Appeals, our highest court, in 2017, recognized the unique problems that exist with eyewitness identification between races. As such, any time identification is an issue in a criminal case and the witness and the person charged are different races, you have the right to request the jury be charged about the problems with such identifications.
A person charged with a crime can use an alibi defense if they can establish that they were someplace else when the crime was committed.
Typically, this defense is put forth by witnesses by the defense. However, when an alibi defense is used, the burden of proof remains with the prosecutor to establish all elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury is not allowed to convict solely because they disbelieve the alibi, they are still required to believe the People’s case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yes. Criminal defense lawyers will often defend a case on the basis that their client was framed or set up. With this type of defense, a criminal defense lawyer will try to establish someone else committed a crime and that their client is wrongly accused.
An Agency defense is a rarely used defense in drug cases. The agency defense protects an individual who is working or acting for a buyer of drugs only. An agent of the buyer involved in a drug transaction is purchasing or acquiring drugs for somebody else. This defense cannot be used if you have any involvement with the sale of drugs. To have a successful agency defense, you cannot have received any benefit (other than a token of appreciation) for your participation in the purchase.
Duress is an affirmative defense raised when you were engaged in illegal conduct because you were forced or coerced to do so by use/threatened use of unlawful physical force upon you (or a third party), which force or threatened force a person of reasonable firmness in your situation would have been unable to resist.
If a defendant utilizes an affirmative defense, then the defendant has the obligation and burden to prove the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence. If an affirmative defense is offered, the prosecution still has the burden to prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt. In the context of a jury trial, the jury or judge (non-jury trial) must first determine if the People have proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If they have not, then the case ends, and the jury or judge must issue a not guilty verdict. If a jury believes that the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt, then if a defendant has raised an affirmative defense, the jury must consider and determine if the defendant has proved the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence.
A Preponderance of the evidence means more likely than not. In mathematical terms it is 51% or just over half.
An entrapment defense is used when you have engaged in prohibited conduct because you were induced or encouraged to do so by a public servant or a confidential informant working for the police who was seeking to obtain evidence against you for a criminal prosecution. To raise the defense your criminal defense attorney must show that the methods utilized by the police or the confidential informant caused you to do something you would not have otherwise done. For an entrapment defense to be successful, you need to establish that you were induced or encouraged to commit a crime that you were not predisposed to commit.
Renunciation of a crime occurs when you stop participating in the crime before it begins and/or attempt to stop other participants from committing a crime. Typically, this defense is used in conspiracy charges. The renunciation must be a complete withdrawal from the crime. Renunciation is an affirmative defense.
In general, under New York law you cannot be charged with a crime unless you are 18 years old. However, there are many exceptions to this rule. For very serious charges such as murder, robbery or sexually motivated offenses, someone can be charged between the ages of 13-15. In addition, a 17-year-old can be charged with a felony or misdemeanor (so long as there is at least one felony charge), and Vehicle and Traffic Law misdemeanors. For more information regarding age dependent charges see our web page regarding juvenile delinquency.
Conduct which would ordinarily be considered a crime is justified and not criminal if the conduct is necessary as an emergency measure to avoid an imminent and significant injury. Essentially this defense is utilized when someone is protecting themselves or someone else from a violent act.  The person using this defense cannot have contributed to creating the situation to use this defense or have been the initial aggressor. The prosecution has the burden of disproving this defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
Self-Defense by use of physical force is allowed when a person reasonably believes that the use of force is necessary to protect themselves or others from the imminent use of force by someone else. In order for self-defense to be successful, the defendant will need to establish that they believed the use of force was necessary to protect themselves or others from physical danger AND that a reasonable person in the defendants position would have acted in a similar way. The rationale behind this defense is that someone does not have to wait until they are attacked or injured before they can fight back. You cannot be the initial person causing the violent act to claim self-defense. A defendant does not need to prove that they were justified in using self-defense. The prosecution is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not justified in using self-defense.
The initial aggressor is the person who first attacks or threatens to use physical force first. The initial aggressor does not have to be the one who caused the first contact.
A person can use deadly physical force when they reasonably believe it necessary to defend themselves or others from the use or imminent use of deadly physical force on themselves or others. Deadly physical force means physical force which can cause death or serious physical injury. To use deadly physical force, a person must reasonably believe that someone was using or about to use deadly physical force against them or others, AND that the use of deadly physical force was necessary to defend them or others, AND a reasonable person in the defendants situation, knowing what the defendant knew, would have had the same belief that deadly physical force was necessary. This defense is not available if the defendant was the initial aggressor.
Serious physical injury means impairment of a person’s physical condition which creates a substantial risk of death, or which causes death or serious and protracted disfigurement, protracted impairment of health or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily organ.
In New York, you have the obligation to retreat and not use deadly physical force if you can do so completely and safely. However, there are exceptions to this rule including you do not need to retreat if you are in your own home and you were not the initial aggressor, are a police officer acting within the scope of your duties, or you believe that someone is committing or attempting to the crimes of kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible criminal sex act, robbery, burglary, or arson.
The insanity or Mental Disease or Defect defense is raised when a person charged with a crime lacked criminal responsibility at the time of the crime because they lacked substantial capacity to know or appreciate either:
- The nature or consequences of the conduct; or
- That the conduct was wrong.
Mental disease or defect is an affirmative defense and can be established by expert medical (psychiatric/psychological) testimony, prior mental health related hospitalizations, medical records, and/or the nature, circumstances, and facts of the crime.
This is different than being mentally fit to proceed in the case against you. This defense cares about your mental state at the time of the crime, not at the time of the charges, proceedings, or trial.
If you are found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, your case is not over. Instead, a new set of proceedings will be held to determine your current mental health condition, whether you are a danger to yourself or the community, and whether you should be committed to a mental health facility. If you are committed to a mental health facility, your mental health status will be addressed in regular intervals, but you could be held for longer than the maximum criminal sentence unless your mental health condition improves.
Intoxication is not a defense to a crime. However, evidence of intoxication by drugs or alcohol can potentially eliminate an element of a charged crime. In raising this issue, you must show that you could not form the mental state required to commit the crime. To be successful, you need to establish the significant impact of the drugs or alcohol. The level of intoxication is greater than simply being drunk or under the influence or drugs. In most cases, intoxication does not eliminate a criminal act, but may be used to reduce the potential criminal exposure by changing an intentional act to a reckless one.
Extreme Emotional Disturbance (EED) is a New York-specific defense in Murder cases only. To be clear if you are found to have committed a murder under an EED, you would be found not guilty of Murder, but guilty of Manslaughter.
EED is a very different defense than claiming insanity or mental disease or defect. First, you must have suffered from such an extreme emotional disturbance, that you suffered a profound loss of self-control. Whatever the emotion, whether its sadness, anger, fear, or any other, it must be very intense. Second, there must be a reasonable explanation that you suffered this extreme emotion. The reasonableness is viewed from your own viewpoint and situation, not that of another person. Finally, you must commit the murder while under the influence of that extreme emotion.
Often, this defense is compared with the example of walking in on your partner in bed with another person and acting immediately. In such a circumstance, even if a police officer were standing right next to you, you very well would have acted the same way. Like mental disease or defect, while an expert witness is not mandatory it is often necessary to support this defense.
If you were in a minor car accident and were so angry that you went and purposefully killed the other driver, you may very well have suffered from an extreme emotion, but most jurors would be unlikely to say such extreme emotion was reasonable because of an accident.
If you planned some or all the murder it is less likely you acted under the influence of an extreme emotion. Also, if there was a time frame when you “cooled off” it is possible that the emotion lessened or ended and you instead made the conscious, intentional choice to act as you did.
In New York State, if you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony, you are required to have an attorney present with you at all stages of your case after you are arrested. If you are charged with a non-criminal violation, such as disorderly conduct or harassment, or a non-criminal traffic offense, you will not be required to have an attorney. However, hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you is recommended as your lawyer will have the knowledge to determine if any of your legal rights were violated and how to best proceed with your case by way of a resolution or trial.
No. It is usually not in your best interest to plead guilty even if you committed the crime you are charged with. An experienced criminal defense attorney may be able to negotiate a plea to a lesser charge which could eliminate your criminal exposure entirely, or lessen potential penalties, fees, and/or surcharges.
At LaMarche Safranko Law, we pride ourselves on our teamwork approach. Every case gets assigned to one of our partners and one of the associate attorneys so you will always have two points of attorney contact. We hold weekly firm meetings to discuss and address cases so that in the case of an emergency ANY of our attorneys or the paralegal assigned to your case will be able to help you. Your lead attorney will always have primary responsibility for your case and will be your main point of contact. If the attorney you are working with is unable to attend a court appearance with you, you will be contacted and advised as to which attorney from our office will attend your court appearance. In most cases, your primary attorney will appear with you.
There is no set formula for how often you will hear from your attorney. However, the key to a successful attorney client relationship is communication. Whenever there is an important occurrence in your case you will be contacted or notified. This will range from calls to discuss the discovery in your case, the results of working with a private investigator, plea bargain offers, or just a simple check in. Importantly, if you have any questions about your case, you should contact your lawyer.
For your criminal lawyer to help you get the best outcome, you need to be honest with your lawyer. You should be available when your lawyer needs you and you should understand the evidence against you and any possible defenses to your case so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed. If applicable, you should follow the advice of your lawyer including getting treatment for drugs, alcohol, other addictions, or mental health.  The best criminal lawyers take your case seriously and personally and will work very hard to achieve the best outcome for you based on the law and the specific facts and circumstances of your case.
Yes. If you have a drug or alcohol problem, you should get into a treatment program immediately. You should be available when your attorney needs you. You may want to talk to your lawyer about obtaining character reference letters. You should appear in court whenever you are required to be there. You should go to school or be employed so you are being a productive member of society. You should follow any orders issued by the judge, including complying with any active orders of protection. Finally, and probably most importantly, you must not get rearrested while your case is pending.
You should follow the recommendation of your doctor or drug/alcohol evaluator who is in the best position to know what the appropriate level of care for your situation is.
You should bring all documents that you have regarding your arrest or the investigation including copies of any charges or subpoenas, appearance tickets, documents regarding any items seized, names/addresses of any witnesses, and any other information you deem important for your case. At your initial meeting, your lawyer will begin to formalize and strategize regarding your case and the defenses that are available.
How long a criminal case takes will vary based upon the nature of the charges, the number of people charged, where you are charged, the complexity of the case and the amount of discovery involved.  For a breakdown of your criminal case and an overview of the criminal process, please see the Criminal Defense Timeline.
This answer depends on many factors, including the seriousness of the charge(s), the significance of the investigation, whether the case will proceed to a trial or be resolved by way of a plea bargain,  the amount of  time devoted to your case, , the location of the court, whether written motions are submitted to the court, and whether hearings are needed.   Every criminal case is different. Your criminal lawyer should take the time to explain all your options and the issues relevant to your case. For more information about fees pertaining to criminal defense matters, please see our criminal defense fees blog.
In general, it is best not to speak to the police or law enforcement without an attorney present. You and your attorney can always decide whether to speak to the police or other investigators. When you speak to law enforcement, your statements could potentially incriminate you and be used against you in your criminal case.
Prior to going to the police station, it is always best to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer. By contacting a lawyer first, law enforcement will likely tell your lawyer if charges have been or will be filed against you. If charges are filed your lawyer can help, ensure that you will be released and/or bail is set if your charges fall into the categories where your release is not automatic. Please see our pages regarding bail and discovery reform. Your criminal lawyer will also protect you from making any statements that may incriminate you. It is always important to be respectful to law enforcement, but that does not mean you must answer questions regarding their investigation. If you have current charges or charges will be filed, it is always in your best interest to voluntarily self-surrender, if possible, with a lawyer by your side.
Every criminal case is unique and different and requires a thorough review of the facts, circumstances, and law. It is important to contact an experienced, compassionate, and caring criminal defense lawyer who has broad experience in the criminal justice system. When you select your criminal defense attorney it is important that your lawyer has the experience to help you and your case.
In most instances, especially if you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, you will have to appear in court on several occasions. However, there are many times when your attorney can appear on your behalf, so you are not inconvenienced or must miss work or family engagements. If you cannot appear in Court, it is important for you to contact your lawyer so that your appearance can be excused. Failing to appear at a required Court appearance can hurt your case and/or result in a warrant for your arrest. It is important that you keep in touch with your criminal defense lawyer regarding the status of your case and whether you need to appear in court on a particular date.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer cannot guarantee or make promises regarding the outcome of a case. Every case is different. Based on experience, the attorney may be able to provide some examples of prior similar cases or the thought process as to how the case may proceed. However, a prior successful outcome in another case, does not mean you will obtain the same result. It is important for you to discuss all aspects of your case with your lawyer before any decision can be made regarding the potential result or outcome of your case.
Not necessarily. The Miranda rights or Miranda warnings, commonly referred to as your right to remain silent, protect you from making any statements that the prosecutor will use against you at trial. If the prosecution or police are not seeking to question you or to use your statements against you, they are not required to provide the Miranda warnings. Law enforcement is required to give Miranda warnings when you are a suspect in police custody during a custodial interrogation.
Having a drug or alcohol addiction is very common in the criminal defense world. Obtaining and successfully completing drug or alcohol treatment or counseling can potentially help with the resolution or your case. In fact, there are many options available for people who committed crimes based on a drug or alcohol addiction, including participation in a Drug Treatment Court. In most circumstances, you will be rewarded for addressing your problem, not punished for having had one.
Maybe. While many cases resolve by way of a plea bargain prior to trial, in many cases there is a disagreement about what happened, or what a fair resolution would be. In these cases, the matter proceeds to a trial so a jury or judge can determine whether the person charged is guilty or not guilty.
Nothing. At a trial, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A defendant in a criminal case does not have to prove his/her innocence. In fact, the defendant in a criminal case is under no obligation to speak or testify at all.
Yes. If there is a person who was harmed, that person will have an opportunity to participate in the case either as a witness during a trial, or by speaking to the prosecutor’s office prior to a plea or at a sentencing. Although the victim has an opportunity to be heard, and while the victim’s position can impact the outcome of the case, if the case resolves by way of a plea bargain, the prosecutor has the final say on any offer that is made to resolve a case. If the matter proceeds to a trial, a jury has the final say in determining disputed facts. If there is a plea bargain or a conviction, a judge has the final say in imposing the sentence.
It is important to understand that the absence of a criminal history does not change the facts of the case you and your attorney are defending. If the case is decided by a judge or jury, the verdict will be determined by the facts as presented and argued by the prosecution and the defense. Should you be convicted, however, your otherwise clean record can weigh in your favor as the judge determines the severity of your sentence. A clean record also can also help your lawyer negotiate a more favorable plea bargain.
In New York state, thanks to a record-sealing law passed in 2017, you are now eligible to have a broad range of convictions—felony and misdemeanor—sealed from public view after a ten-year waiting period. Sex crimes and violent felonies are excluded.
Generally, a felony is charged when the alleged conduct of the defendant is more serious. The technical distinction is one of maximum punishment. If a crime carries a maximum incarceration of one year or less, it is a misdemeanor; more than a year and it rises to a felony. Serious crimes such as murder, rape, arson, robbery, grand larceny, and kidnapping are felonies; petit larceny, minor drug, or marijuana offenses, etc., are misdemeanors. With many crime categories, such as drug offenses, assault, and theft, whether it is a misdemeanor, or a felony depends on the severity of the offense.
Yes. If an ongoing investigation reveals that additional charges are warranted, the police, the district attorney’s office, or a grand jury can choose to charge you with additional offenses even if you have already been charged. It is important to avoid all actions that might incriminate you of further crimes. These include talking to the police (you have the right to tell them you cannot talk without your lawyer), talking to other people about the case, and posting about your case on social media. Keep quiet in public, and work with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can do all the talking for you.
Character reference letters may help your case. They are always helpful to show a prosecutor or Judge a different side of the person that they are prosecuting or sentencing. It is always a positive to show that you have the support of your friends and family. While family letters of support are very important, the best letters come from people that do not need to write letters. These include letters from politicians, clergy, employers, former spouses/relationships, and others that are involved in your local community.
A character reference letter should include an introduction of yourself, that you are writing in support of a particular defendant, a description of your relationship with the person being sentenced, examples and evidence of the character, morals, work ethic, and reputation of the defendant. The letter should also request leniency or a particular sentence. It is important to include your name, address and contact information so that the Judge can contact you if they have any questions.
No. There is no set number of character reference letters are required. A few very supportive letters are better than several letters from people that do not really know you or understand your predicament. It is best to obtain as many letters that you can from people that can place into words how you have grown during the time frame from arrest to conviction.
In New York, felonies range from a class E felony, which is the least serious felony, to a class A felony which is the most serious felony charge you can face. Each felony level has a maximum period of incarceration. For instance, an E felony has a maximum period of imprisonment of 4 years; a D felony has a maximum period of imprisonment of 7 years; a C felony charge has a maximum period of imprisonment of 15 years; a B felony charge has a maximum period of imprisonment of 25 years; and an A felony charge has a maximum period of life in prison. Note that drug offenses carry different punishments. For example, first time drug offenders face the following periods of incarceration: an E felony drug offense has a maximum period of imprisonment of 1 ½ years; a D felony has a maximum period of imprisonment of 2 ½ years; a C felony charge has a maximum period of imprisonment of 5 ½ years; a B felony charge has a maximum period of imprisonment of 9 years; and an A felony charge has a maximum period of incarceration of 20 years.

Shock incarceration is a prison alternative where eligible inmates complete a rigorous six-month program. The program consists of physical activity, discipline, rehabilitation therapy, and programming. The program is like military basic training. If you successfully complete SHOCK, the remainder of your prison sentence will be spent on Parole or Post-Release supervision.
To qualify for SHOCK incarceration, you must be an eligible inmate. “Eligible inmate” means a person sentenced to a term of prison and is eligible, or will become eligible, for release within three years, who has not reached the age of 50, and who has not previously been convicted of a violent felony. Additionally, you do not qualify for SHOCK incarceration if you are convicted of any of the following crimes:
- a violent felony offense except for burglary in the second degree pursuant to 140.25(2) or robbery in the second degree pursuant to 160.10(1) or an attempt thereof
- an A-I felony offense
- any homicide offense
- any felony sex offense
- any escape or absconding offense
