The earlier you contact our Syracuse, NY criminal defense lawyers, the sooner we can go to work for you defending your case.  The period in the immediate aftermath of being arrested or charged with a crime is critical. The police or prosecutor may try to question you to obtain harmful statements or seize records or property to bolster their case.  While we can seek to preclude statements or evidence at a later time, it is better to give us the chance to prevent declarations from being made and subpoenas from being issued if at all possible.
