Description
In New York City, the organization that handles most of these indigent cases is The Legal Aid Society. The Legal Aid Society gets funding from the Government to represent indigent people. The Legal Aid Society is not in the business of representing people who are not indigent (who do not meet federal poverty guidelines). Therefore, if you take the police officer's advice and show up to DATs on the first date expecting that The Legal Aid Society will just agree to represent you because "it is only a DAT" you will be mistaken .
Your own lawyer from Shalley & Murray will be able to provide you with a predictable experience in Court even down to the timing of your appearance. If you arrive on schedule, we can reliably get you in front of the Judge among the first cases of the morning, so you can do what you need to do and get on with your day.
You are likely being charged with a crime. If being charged with a crime doesn’t concern you, then don’t seek legal advice. If the risk of receiving a criminal record doesn’t concern you, then don’t seek legal advice. How do you think the police officer would have reacted if you simply told him that you didn’t think the case was serious enough to bother dealing with him and you refused to go down to the precinct to get the DAT? I’ll tell you exactly how he would have reacted.
If you use Shalley & Murray to help you, not only will your problem be handled by an experienced criminal defense lawyer who is looking out for your interests, but your experience in the system will be the experience of a person in the capable hands of a calm, professional guide. You won't be showing up on the first day wondering who you are going to talk to, when you will be seen, what you are supposed to say, where to go, or anything else.
Of course if you feel like you want your day in Court because there is no settlement you ever want, we can be there to help you too. We have more than 20 years criminal trial experience in New York City, defending some of the most serious charges.
