Our experienced attorneys can help you fight this charge and work toward a dismissal. If you are charged with UPM in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, or Orange Counties, give us a call at 914-723-7900.
• Assault
  Crimes must be established beyond a reasonable doubt. While this is a difficult burden to meet, most prosecutors do not bring charges unless they have gathered some evidence that weighs against the defendant. Criminal charges may be felonies, which are more serious crimes, or misdemeanors. They can involve crimes such as drug offenses, weapons or firearms violations, domestic violence, assault and battery, or theft. What must be established depends on the crime at issue. For example, drug charges in New York include possession, sale, manufacturing, and trafficking, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. For a first drug offense, your attorney may be able to negotiate an abbreviation for adjournment and contemplation of dismissal. In other cases, such as when evidence of drugs was obtained through an illegal search and seizure, it may be appropriate to challenge the way in which evidence was obtained.
