Long Island, NY-- Being charged with a crime in New York can have major consequences. Few people know this better than New York criminal defense attorney Jason Bassett. The results of being convicted of a crime can be severe and can often even change the trajectory of a person's whole life. Mr. Bassett believes that no one must deal with the criminal justice system on their own and without the benefit of a proficient and experienced criminal defense lawyer.

As a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney, Mr. Bassett understands that the quality of criminal defense that a person gets after they are charged with a crime can make a significant difference. Whether the charges get dismissed, reduced, a plea deal is put forward to the defendant, or if they end up in jail or prison and for what the length of time, can typically depend upon the work of their defense lawyer. Whether a person has been charged with burglary, assault, murder, domestic violence, and 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 perseverance to fight for the offender's rights.

"While criminal penalties and prison time are challenging enough, the way criminal convictions and charges affect the rest of the defendant's life can be similarly disastrous," said Mr. Bassett. "An offender can be punished and serve their time, and yet for the rest of their life, there is a reminder that they are still considered a criminal in the eyes of society. A criminal charge can impact a person's future work, educational options, professional licenses and certifications, and involvement in specific government programs. Each time that individual gets a task, the prospective employer will look at them differently. A well-crafted criminal defense is important to safeguard my clients not only from the criminal punishment itself but also these other long-lasting collateral effects."

A former district attorney, Mr. Bassett has observed the other side of the criminal justice system and the way lots of 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 offer favorable reviews and testimonials 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!"
