Are You a Professional Who Has Been Charged with a Crime? Contact a New York Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal charges are serious matters for anyone. However, people in certain professions face additional risks and complications simply by being charged with a crime, even if they are not convicted. Lawyers, doctors, accountants and public officials stand to lose their reputations, and may face the suspension or revocation of their professional license.

Professionals charged with a criminal offense find themselves in uncertain territory. They fear losing everything to which they have devoted their life. Criminal allegations such as a sex crime charge for a counseling therapist or driving while intoxicated charge for a police officer may mean that a professional must take a leave of absence or be reassigned to other types of duties until an investigation is complete. Charges such as health care fraud can result in a significant interruption in a physician's or medical professional's source of income.

If you are a professional with special concerns related to criminal allegations, a criminal investigation, an arrest or criminal charges in New York, you are encouraged to contact me, George F. Hildebrandt, Attorney at Law, in Syracuse. I understand how important damage control early on in the process can be in order to protect your reputation, your livelihood, your professional license and perhaps your career. I have helped other professionals mitigate the damage brought on by allegations of wrongdoing.

I have achieved many acquittals and reduced pleas and sentences for felonies and misdemeanors, including federal crimes. My experience and success has helped me build a strong reputation for effectiveness.
