Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a crime in New York can have severe consequences. Few know this better than Long Island Criminal Defense Attorney Jason Bassett. The results of being convicted of a crime can be dire and can sometimes even change the trajectory of an individual's whole life. Mr. Bassett believes that no one ought to deal with the criminal justice system on their own and without the benefit of a competent and experienced criminal defense attorney.

As a skilled Criminal Defense Attorney, Mr. Bassett understands that the quality of criminal defense that an individual gets if they are charged with a criminal offense can make a big difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, reduced, a plea deal is put forward to the defendant, or if they end up in prison or jail and for what length of time, can often depend upon the work of their defense lawyer. Whether a person has actually been charged with break-in, assault, murder, domestic violence, or even a DWI or DUI, a criminal charge and conviction can haunt them for years to come. This is why it is important to have the representation of someone with the knowledge, experience, and determination to fight for the accused's rights.

"Although criminal penalties and prison time are tough enough, the way criminal charges and convictions affect the rest of the defendant's life can be equally terrible," said Mr. Bassett. "A defendant can be penalized and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still considered a criminal in society's eyes. A criminal charge can impact a person's future work, educational opportunities, professional licenses and accreditations, and participation in specific federal government programs. Each time that person gets a task, the prospective company will take a look at them in a different way. A well-crafted criminal defense is important to secure my customers not just from the criminal penalty itself but also these other long-term collateral effects."

As a former prosecutor, Mr. Bassett has seen the other side of the criminal justice system and the way lots of defendants feel they lack power within the system. He has turned his sights to criminal defense in order to level the playing field and safeguard the rights of those who may have been charged at both the federal or state level. Both other attorneys and clients continue to offer favorable reviews and testimonials when it comes to their work together.

Chad Moncada from Long Island states: "Jason was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to all my questions. I was not in the dark about anything. I would strongly suggest using him if your in need. I had aggravated DUI and he got it dropped down. I am very thankful for his help. Please reach out to him if you need help and want someone to treat you fair and not dodge your phone calls and questions. Highly recommended."

In the US legal system, an accused has crucial rights, and it is the criminal defense lawyer's job to maintain those rights. With over twenty-one years in the criminal justice system, Mr. Bassett has committed his practice to safeguarding the rights of his clients in and out of the courtroom.
