Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a crime in New York can have severe consequences. No one knows this better than New York criminal lawyer Jason Bassett. The impacts of being convicted of a crime can be severe and can often even alter the trajectory of an individual's whole life. Mr. Bassett believes that no one should deal with the criminal justice system on their own and without the benefit of a proficient and experienced criminal defense lawyer.

As an experienced criminal lawyer, Mr. Bassett knows that the quality of criminal defense that a person gets if they are charged with a crime can make a big difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, downgraded, a plea deal is put forward to the defendant, or if they end up in prison or jail and for what the length of time, can frequently depend on the work of their defense lawyer. Whether a person has been charged with theft, assault, homicide, 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 vital to have the representation of someone with the knowledge, experience, and determination to fight for the accused's rights.

"While criminal penalties and prison time are challenging enough, the way criminal convictions and charges impact the rest of that suspect's life can be similarly terrible," said Mr. Bassett. "An accused can be punished and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still looked at a criminal in society's eyes. A criminal charge can impact an individual's future employment, academic opportunities, professional licenses and certifications, and involvement in certain federal government programs. Each time that person requests a job, the prospective employer will look at them differently. A well-crafted criminal defense is vital to safeguard my clients not just from the criminal punishment itself but also these other long-term collateral consequences."

As a former district attorney, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way many suspects feel they lack power within the system. He has since turned his sights to criminal defense in order to help level the playing field and secure the rights of those who may have been charged at both the state and federal levels. Both other attorneys and clients continue to provide favorable testimonials and reviews concerning their work together.

Jeramy Hackett from New York states: "Very satisfied with my experience. Jason and his team are professional and thorough. They are simply the best. They are very familiar with the system, and they will give you the results you want. They were recommended by my friend who was charged with DUI. They got his sentence down to probation. They also did great with my case. HIGHLY recommend their services for criminal defense cases!"

In the legal system, a defendant has important rights under the law, and it is the criminal defense attorney's task to uphold those rights. With over 21 years in the criminal justice system, Mr. Bassett has dedicated his practice to protecting the rights of his clients in and out of the courtroom.
