24 Hour Arraignments

We Tirelessly Defend Your Rights & Your Future

If you are arrested in New York, you are required by law to attend your arraignment hearing within 24 hours of your arrest. While this is one of the initial steps in criminal proceedings, its importance should not be underestimated.

An arraignment essentially enables the judge to do two things:

Hear the charges that are being brought against you
Determine whether you should remain in jail until your case has been resolved

There is a great deal on the line at your hearing, and having an experienced New York City criminal defense attorney with you can make a significant difference in the final outcome. There is very little time to prepare a defense for your arraignment hearing, so it is important to act quickly. We are prepared to take action the moment you call, so don't wait to consult with our talented team.
