Protecting Your Future
As a Syracuse criminal defense attorney who is committed to defending college students, I understand that a criminal conviction can have a devastating effect on your future. I will work to prevent or minimize any negative consequences you might face.
A criminal record can limit your future job opportunities, prevent you from obtaining a professional license and possibly jeopardize your student aid. Because there is no procedure for expungement, a criminal conviction in New York will be with you for life.
