When defending a felony assault case in NYC, it is important to start early. A private investigator should be hired to find out what really happened at the scene of the crime and to track down witnesses before or soon after they are contacted by the prosecutor’s office. Once witnesses have been in contact and built an affinity with the prosecutor, they often don’t want to talk to anyone else. This is why it is crucial to hire an experienced New York criminal defense attorney as soon as possible when charged with a felony assault.

If you or a loved one are being charged with a felony assault, contact NYC assault attorney Paul D. Petrus, Jr. at 212-564-2440 for a free consultation.
